Week 6 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 have reviewed this article before in previous classes, so there wasn’t anything necessarily surprising.

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

I understand most of it but the concept of supplier having bargaining power can be a little difficult to understand because naturally you would think the buyer has all the power.

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

I would ask the author when substitutes can have a good effect instead of bad effect. And why he didn’t mention the fact that buyers, competitors, and suppliers can work together against you.

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

I disagree with the fact that isn’t considered a force because it can affect all of the other forces through policies.
