- What surprised me was that Kuratko really identified the problems that arise when making an ethical decision. Usually, when people talk about ethical decisions in business, everyone makes it out to be a simple right or wrong principle. But honestly, sometimes there is a gray area, and I'm glad that the author didn't just brush over that like most people do. It was good to hear what actually happens in the business world and how people solve it.
- What confused me the most was the idea about corporate entrepreneurship. The book said that many people are confused as well, and what I gathered is that it's not a person, but more of a mindset I think. It seems as if it's a natural idea for most business to attempt to be innovative, but maybe I'm wrong.
- If I were to ask 2 questions, I would ask: 1) What is the best way to set up a business that is run ethically from top to bottom? I would ask this because if I every owned a business, I would want to know how to reflect my good ethics and morals down to every employee. I would also ask: 2) How can businesses promote corporate entrepreneurship within their employees? I would ask this because if I ever owned a business, I would like to know how to promote creativity in my employees so our business can succeed at the highest level.
- I didn't necessarily disagree with anything, but I didn't like his point about the ethics of caring and the difference between men and women's management from rules based to people based, respectively. I thought this was slightly stereotypical and sexist as I'm sure practices have been done differently for years.
