Week 12 Reading Reflection

1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
I was surprised by the lack of planning for some entrepreneur business ventures. He also mentioned that the planning is informal and unsystematic, which you would think would be of more importance for something like a new venture.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I didn't really see anything as confusing, because in my management class I'm currently taking, we just got done going over the whole strategic planning process.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
Which one of the key factors during the growth stage is the most important? Which planning style in your opinion is the most successful?
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
There was nothing that stuck out to me that led me to disagree with the author.
