It kind of surprised me when the author said that big
projects do not always produce better innovations than smaller projects. When someone says innovation, I’m immediately
thinking about something huge like the iPhone.
I would have never thought that a small project can produce a large
innovation.
I don’t really understand the difference between duplication
and synthesis. I don’t understand how
Walmart is an example of duplication but Fed-Ex is an example of
synthesis. I’m not sure if synthesis
means putting ideas together that were already established or if it is a brand
new idea that is better than the old ideas.
Why is probability thinking a bad mindset to have for an
entrepreneur? I would think that if you were planning on spending a bunch of
time on a project, you would want a high probability of success. For example, you probably wouldn’t want to
try to establish an express coffee business because Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks
already exist.
When is an idea considered to be a good one? I just want to know when you should realize
whether you should act on an idea or not. Should you ask others if your idea is
good or should you just observe if there is a market where your idea will
thrive?
I think the author is wrong about creativity being able to
be learned and improved. I think that
some people are creative in certain aspects and others are not. If you told me to draw a representation of
the Golden Gate Bridge, I would have no idea where to even start. Others would immediately start visualizing what
they would be drawing in their head and essentially be copying the picture onto
the paper. I think some people are born
creative and others are not.
