Week 4 Reading Reflection - Chapter 5

Hello everyone!

Here is my latest chapter reflection of Kuratko's Entrepreneurship textbook.

I think what surprised me the most from this week's reading is how much thought and how many theories there are on creativity! I didn't realize that there were even two different approaches to creative problem solving. However, the more I read the more I understood why such study exists. Reading about all of the phases of the creativity process was very fascinating and made a lot of sense.

I think that Kuratko could have expanded on the two different approaches to creative problem-solving, like more examples or a quiz for readers to see which 'approach' they align with more.

One question I would ask Kuratko would be: did someone ever say one of the 'most common idea killers' to you? If so, what did you say/do in response? I want to know because I think one of the most difficult things to do is to re-encourage yourself after such a response.

Another question I would ask him would be if he had to work on his creativity, or if it was natural. This is because there are many people who aren't super creative naturally, but because they have the desire to be, they build up those creativity skills on their own.

I didn't find myself disagreeing with Kuratko on any points in this chapter. Then again, this chapter was mainly on the discussion of creative theories and developing creativity skills-- there isn't much to disagree with!

That's all, folks!
