Week 11 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?

  • I was surprised to see that the author made a line of direct correlation between the misalignment of the innovation strategy of a company with an "innovation strategy," limiting the overall capacity to innovate.

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

  • None of the reading was confusing, just interesting. This was an easy read. 

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

  • Why is it that senior leaders should be the responsible party for the innovation strategy? 
  • I would like a deeper explanation and differentiation between "routine" innovation and "disruptive" innovation and how each is useful in business practices. 


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

  • I might disagree with one of the concluding statements that claims only senior leaders can/should take initiative in developing the best innovation strategy for the company; I feel like ultimately, they should be driving the operation, but often times the best information and feedback comes from the bottom of the heap.
