Week 15 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? 

I thought the manner through which the author explained how those in the bottom tier of the economic pyramid would make money was interesting when the author explains that they must raise the living standards in order to meet the minimum requirement needed to maintain sustainable financial opportunities.

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

There was no part of the reading that was confusing to me. I think the author did a fantastic job at explaining the aspects of growing the entrepreneurial mindset; just as he has done all semester.

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

I would ask Akula what inspired his decision to start a firm that provided micro credit loans to poor women in India. It is a very risky business decision but also helps a large amount of people as well as provided a lot economic benefit.

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

There was nothing within the articles that I thought the author was wrong about. They always do a fantastic jobs at explaining the concepts regarding entrepreneurship and economics.
