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 was surprised by the lack of planning that seems to take place in most startups. Although it makes sense, because many people that work in startups supposedly dislike the rigidness of corporations.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
I did not find any of the reading to be confusing. I did think that the SWOT Analysis is an interesting way to analyze decisions. It is similar to a pros and cons list but appears to be superior.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
I would ask the author:
- Is there such thing as too much planning?
- How costly can planning be?
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
No I don't think the author was wrong about anything. I did enjoy this chapter and I found it to be very interesting. Prior to reading this, I probably would've underestimated the importance of planning.
