Week 14 Reading Reflection

In this week's reading, we covered both chapters 3 and 4, which were about corporate entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship in the global environment, respectively. Something that stood out to me in these readings was just the idea of corporate entrepreneurship in general. To me, when I think of entrepreneurship, I think of small start-ups that grow over time- but the point is they start out small. But then again, it obviously makes sense when you think of Steve Jobs and Apple- that started small but it is one of the biggest corporations in the word. If I had to ask the author two questions, I would like to ask for a modern day example of a social entrepreneurship (as I've never heard of one before) and how exactly you get the world out about a global start-up. I was kind of confused about the part "control vs. autonomy" as they seem very similar to me, and I don't agree that the author did a good job at really getting to the bottom of what makes the two different.
