Week 13: reading reflection

Kuratko, bae, tell me about the valuation of entrepreneurial ventures.  

Except you kind of already have in previous chapters. Did anyone else feel like this chapter was an accumulation of other things we've read so far? We've been manipulated by semantics. Previous chapters may have touched on many of these concepts, our bias about our ventures for example, but because this chapter is specifically titled "Valuation of Entrepreneurial Ventures" we're meant to change our perceptual context to receive the information differently. I'm on to you, Kuratko.

Although this chapter was reminiscent of Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 and Chapter 10 and Chapter 11, I will say the regurgitated ideas were thrown together in a different manner, or rather, for a different purpose. I don't think Kuratko writes to surprise me. You could probably gather from what I've written so far that if there is any deviation from what I've come to expect from Kuratko it would be the Groundhog Day effect; when I set out on this Kuratko journey, I didn't peg him as the redundant type.

Kuratko, do you think there's a more efficient way to present the information in Entrepreneurship? Could the book be shorter? Is there a way to synthesize?

The text is right in so many ways that I can't say Kuratko is wrong, but as a guidebook of sorts, I think something could be done to either meaningfully expand or simplify our book. For what a student's opinion is worth. Tune in next week for our last foray into Kuratko's Entrepreneurship. Who knows what we'll find!
