Week 11 Reading Reflection

For each reading reflection post, I ask you to address the following areas:

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 article is so simple, but the author clearly does not understand what they are actually talking about. THe author is trying to explain why certain companies are failing and others are doing well. The real answer can be found reading any chapter about supply and demand, and looking at manufacturing jobs in the USA.  I was surprised this article was this long to be honest, because I could have explained all of this to a 6th grader in half the time it took me to read this article.

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

WHat confused me was why the author went on and on rambling about companies not being innovating enough, or their priorities were considered wrong about innovation. Seemed that the author was just crying.

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

Have you ever read a book, or even a chapter in a book about supply and demand?

Did Harvard pay you to write this awful article? I hope Harvard students didn't have to pay to have this written.

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

Companies fold all the time, and it is not always about their product not being innovating enough. Companies just do not know what to do all the time. The Ipad was invented 10 years before Apple released it by Microsoft. MIcrosoft had no idea what to do with their product so they shit-canned it.  innovation is overlooked.
