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.
