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? 
How diverse the different types of value are. I never realized that to achieve the different types of value would be incredibly different from one another. To focus on multiple at a time can really hurt a new business and cause them to lose sight of what their original goal was.

2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
The architectural and disruptive portions of the landscape map were very confusing to me. I understood all the other parts but determining what is or isn't architectural was the most confusing part for me.

3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
What would be the number one value to currently focus on? It feels that we go through different periods that focus more so on certain values than others because that is the "norm" at the time. Some times it might be wiser to focus on reliability rather than on price.

How can a company protect itself in the beginning from succumbing to competitors entering the market? There isn't a simple answer to this, but I am sure there is some strategy to ensure your product or service is vague enough to not be replicated as it will be protected.

4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
With this article being a bit more difficult/confusing than others and the fact that I do not have any prior experience with this subject matter, I cannot seem to find anything that I would directly disagree with the author on.
