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 read these chapters early in the semester accidentally, but I looked through them again and recalled the thing that surprised me most. The author said that 3M once had an idea to replace men's face razors with sandpaper, which sounded like the worst idea I've ever heard. It goes on to say that the idea failed in the men's shaving industry, but was a success in the auto industry as it was sold as waterproof sandpaper, which I thought was really neat.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I thought the purpose of the diaspora network was confusing to understand. It's supposed to be a relationship that exists between cultures, but I'm not really sure how they affect anything if a person can learn the customs and laws of the other country without the relationship.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
I would ask the author to give an example of a diaspora network and how it is used in a company. I would also ask the author if they thought numerous small ventures were better than one big venture, if their answer was numerous small ventures, I would ask them if the pharmaceutical industry should rethink the way they research and develop new medications.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
I didn't find anything that I disagreed with or that I thought was wrong.
