Week 13 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?

What surprised me the most in the reading was all the different resources and the checklist for analyzing a business? I was not aware of all the different options of evaluating a company, which is really helpful for any business.

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

I was confused by the similarities that “the checklist for analyzing a business” and “the methods for venture valuation “have.  Believe that the author could provide a detailed description of these two points in order to help the reader to understand the concept in a better way

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

I would ask the following questions:

-          When analyzing a new venture, what should be the best alternatives to use in order to have the most accurate results?

-          What are the most common mistakes that occur when evaluating a company and how can they be avoided?

-          These two questions will provide the reader a better understanding of how real life problems are solved using methods described in this chapter.

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

I believe that this chapter was one of the most complete chapters, also explained with more detail than others. I don’t believe there is something where the author was wrong about in this chapter.
