Read the cases on Craigslist and Linksys posted in the readings and discussion section under week 2. Please answer the following questions related to the cases. You may comment on the post and use it later for the participation portfolio.
- What is common between the two cases in terms of the recognition of an entrepreneurial opportunity? What is different?
- Do you think there would be a difference in the way the two companies are organized? Why or Why not?
- What is the key source of innovation for the two companies? Do you expect to see this change?
Post links to videos and podcasts that you find that related to technology entrepreneurship. Each video should be at least 3 minutes in length. Second, rate the videos on a scale of 1 to 5 based on whether you think it would be worthwhile for other students to view. Finally, give a detailed explanation (100-300 words) for each rating.In this explanation, give an idea of why the speaker has legitimacy on the topic (why should we listen to them), the key argument (if there is one), important concepts (state them), best audience for the video (to whom specifically would you recommend the video), whether the video is universally valid (do the arguments and concepts only work in Silicon Valley during the dot-com era), and most importantly, if it will change your own future behavior. Please strive for completeness and brevity, by covering all of these points in the word limits. If you think that some requirement does not apply to your video, just state so.
