Chapters 3 and 4:
1) The biggest surprise for me in this reading would have to be the part about preparing for failure in chapter 3. I think reading about this was so surprising because I think of failure as having a lot of ambiguity- you never really know when it's going to happen. It's easy to see how I thought preparing for something that you don't know is going to occur would be surprising!
2) The most confusing part for me was the diagram on page 88. It is supposed to be classifying decisions using a conceptual framework, but the picture just confused me. After truly analyzing it I understood it a little more, but I'm still kind of confused!
3) I would ask the author why he decided to put a chapter about ethics in the book, to see if he was trying to persuade people a certain way or if he felt it was very necessary for educational purposes. I would also ask why he chose the "entreprenuerial thought" he put at the beginning of chapter 3, to get to know his motives behind the piece.
4) The part that the author wasn't necessarily wrong about but could change would be the "Defining Ethics"section in chapter 4. Ethics is a funny thing to play around with- because there is no true root of validity in anything ethics based. Of course we know good from bad- but what exactly is good and what exactly is bad? I think it is too subjective of a thing to include in this textbook.
