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 found the section talking about timing very interesting. The author spoke about how the timing, whether poor or not, is very crucial in the business world and marketplace. I think this is very important, timing can make or break an idea. It can build up, or break down a business.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
The section which mentions, "new venture evaluation process" was the most confusing. It was a little vague, and if there was a further explanation I would have a better grasp of this subject.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
What is the most important part of evaluating a business?
Have you ever experienced poor timing with a business idea in your life?
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 I really disagreed on. However, the section about being unique in the business world being the most important thing that an idea can be sits a little funny with me. I certainly think that originality will allow a product to succeed, but I don't know if I think it's the most important thing an idea can be. Things like - a realistic application should be more important than something being "new" and "exciting."
