Week 6 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? 

This quote was the biggest surprise I found in the article “Industry structure drives competition and profitability, not whether an industry produces a product or service, is emerging or mature, high or low tech, regulated or unregulated.” I thought coming into this that those all were slightly affected by that.

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

I found the whole factors not forces to be confusing as to some slightly overlapped.

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

What is the difference between economies and benefits of scale? Needed more explanation.

When coming up with a strategy what is the most crucial piece of the puzzle to have?

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

“Industry structure drives competition and profitability, not whether an industry produces a product or service, is emerging or mature, high or low tech, regulated or unregulated.” This quote as mentioned before I feel like isn’t totally correct because there are other factors going on.
