My Week 5 Reading Reflection

Upon reading Chapter 4, there was no one thing that stood out to me as surprising, but rather I was intrigued by the idea of a social entrepreneur as a whole. I had never really thought about entrepreneurs as belonging to one of two distinct groups, either socially or economically motivated, although I realize that there can be a mix of motivations as well.

I was confused by the fact that global entrepreneurs are a relatively new group, as it had previously been thought to be too difficult to work internationally. It is interesting to see how accessibility and ease of communication has greatly increased in the world in just a short amount of time.

If I could ask the author two questions, I would first ask, "What is your opinion on joint ventures? Do you feel that the pros typically outweigh the cons?" I would also ask, "Do you consider yourself to be more of a social or for-profit entrepreneur?"I would enjoy hearing his response on both of these topics.

In this particular chapter, I did not find anything I strongly disagreed with or felt was misinformation.
