Reading Reflection No. 2

1) What was the general theme or argument of the book?

 Innovation and Entrepreneurship by Peter Drucker is about the strategies of leadership, the importance of innovation, being a proficient manager, and entrepreneurialism in business. Peter Drucker provides exceptional analysis and information into the business world.

2) How did the book, in your opinion, connect with and enhance what you are learning in ENT 3003?

Peter Drucker just gives excellent insight into ideas that we're already learning in the class. He talks about taking risks, being innovative, don't be systematic because it's boring.

3) If you had to design an exercise for this class, based on the book you read, what would that exercise involve?

My exercise would involve a group, and there would be questions that would ask each member for their innovated thought. After, the group could rate each other's thoughts. The purpose is to experience and exchange thoughts. There is no right or wrong answer in the exercise.

4) What was your biggest surprise or 'aha' moment when reading the book? In other words, what did you learn that differed most from your expectations?

The book was inspiring because Peter Drucker brings up how entrepreneurs keep the economy going. Even through recessions, especially in the 60s and 80s, where there was job growth from small and medium-sized businesses.

  1. Hey Christian! seems like a rather interesting person. Despite what Drucker says, I think that being systematic is important as well when establishing a business. Entrepreneurship is about forming a successful business. That in itself requires a certain degree of organization, and system. Although sometimes entreprenuers may have to take a gamble, I don't think that it is the most effective path for success. There are just to many variables, and I think it best to control as many as you can so as to give yourself the best chance of success.
    I wish you would have given a little more detail about the book. I am interested to know the specifics of his assertions. Something tells me I would agree with his thoughts.

  2. Dear Christian. The book "Innovation and Entrepreneurship" you reviewed sounds like a great read. It sounds like something an Euntreneurship class Should require us to read. I'm definatly gonna have to read this book. You did a good job explaining what the book is about. Peter Trucker should throw you some change for the free advertising.

  3. Hey Christian, thank you for the brief summary about the book. I think it was pretty well written, but I think you could have used a little more information. After reading this summary, I want to read the book to learn more about it. This is very concise and I think you did a great job.
