Week 12 Reading Reflection

1). The biggest surprise to me was reading that it is not good to grow too quickly because you can lose vision of your planning and strategy. I always thought that firms would want to grow as quickly as they can to dominate the market.
2). To me it was confusing how the stabilization stage is a swing point where the firm could take off and be a success or crash and fail. If the business is stabilizing, how can it fail?
3) I would ask him what the “hypnotic effect” of the growth stage is because he talked about it but never elaborated. I would also ask him how the stabilization stage can lead to failure for a firm.
4) I don’t really disagree with anything the author said, it all made a lot of sense to me. There was just a few confusing points that he made.
