Learning how young the study of entrepreneurship is was something I didn't expect. It's easy to take how things are in modern time for granted. It hasn't been very long that "regular" people have the means and freedom to pursue their entrepreneurial interest, even though it seems like that is an expected part of society today.
I though having the Venture Opportunity School of Thought under the Micro view was strange. It mentions "developing the right idea at the right time for the right market niche", which to me seems very dependent on outside factors. Even though the micro view is about "the potential entrepreneur has the ability, or control, to direct or adjust the outcome of each major influence".
There are many different schools of thought, and I personally feel that a combination of all of them is needed to form a realistic concept. However,if I had to choose one I feel that the Environmental School of Thought is the biggest factor. I wonder what the author would personally choose. The chapter also talks a lot about the benefits entrepreneurs have on society, which makes sense considering it is an Entrepreneurship textbook. It would be a nice contrast to see know the authors thoughts on problems or issues that entrepreneurship can cause, which would make the chapter feel more well rounded.
There wasn't anything I disagreed with in the section. It does a very good job of being general and not really saying one idea or way is better than any other.
