Week 14 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 liked reading about the factors in large corporations that have exhibited successful innovations because it was very good advice and things you wouldn't normally think would be that important such as atmosphere and small, flat organizations.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
The section about the entrepreneurial assessment instrument was confusing because I wonder if every entrepreneur even knows about it and there is a way to assess their skills.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
Can you be both radical and incremental at times and still be successful? Because sometimes it is a good thing to take risks and jump to an idea.
How successful are companies that have innovation teams in regards to keeping everyone in the company on the same page when it comes to innovating? Because these teams are separate from the rest of the workforce so how do they stay as one big team.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
I agreed with everything the author wrote about in regards to entrepreneurial mind-sets and ethical challenges. I especially enjoyed reading about the environment awareness and green capitalism that was discussed.
