Week 5 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?
 

The biggest surprise to me was in the “Why New Ventures Fail” section.  The fact that Poor timing contributed to failure in 40% of cases studied.  I knew that this is a contributor, but I did not think it would be the main contributor.


2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.


The Failure Prediction Model was a little tricky and I had to read it twice, but it eventually made sense.


3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?


a. Would the reason New Ventures Failed be different if the firms were not high-tech?

b. I do not have a second question.


4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?

I think the author was right on.  The chapter was very clear, and the topics were easy to understand.
