One thing I found really interesting was in chapter 4 of the assigned reading. The triple bottom line section was extremely well structured and gave great examples in terms of each aspect of the triple bottom line. Many companies would just assume when it comes down to that the financial bottom line is the most important to a company but seeing it laid out next to the environmental and social bottom lines as well really puts it in perspective.
The only term in these chapters that was a little confusing was the term "intracapital" The context it is used in chapter 3 isn't very detailed and it is just sort of mentioned briefly, not really defining the definition of the term and how it relates to the entrepreneurial mindset.
My first question pertains to the I-Team which is mentioned in chapter 3 of the text. It is defined as two or more people who formally create and share ownership of a new organization. This concept seems a little confusing because it seems as if it can get confused with a leadership team or ownership. How do you distinguish this group within a business? Is it necessary to distinguish them, or can they hold other jobs focused in different areas of the company?
Diaspora networks are a concept that I have never heard of before reading in this chapter. The author did a good job explaining how they are relevant today but also noted that they have been important for a long time to companies. My question is how were they measured in an age that didn't have social media and the internet? What are some resources other companies used in order to measure the strength and the relationship with these networks?
In both of these chapters I think the author presented the information in a way that was clear. He also provided a variety of resources that helped reiterate the points he made in both chapters. Due to his thoroughness I do not believe there is anything within these chapters that the author is incorrect about.
