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 stood out to me the most is that the forces that shape competition are different based on different industries or markets.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
One part that was confusing was that "eliminating rivals is a risky strategy." This doesn't really make sense to me how one would go about eliminating a rival from the market. That seems unrealistic.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
First, I would ask the author is if rivalry among competitors is something that drives people away from certain industries?
Second, I would ask the author statistics regarding how these factors actually effected to success of failure of new competitors that enter existing markets (aka entrepreneurs)?
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
There wasn't anything in the article that I disagreed with but I think the author could have used more real life examples to go along with the information he provided.
