1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations? The biggest surprise for me in the reading was that the lack of strategic planning mainly comes from time scarcity. I think there is always time for something if you just prioritize it. Saying that you do not have time for something just means that you are not willing to place it as a priority.
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you. The Strategic Management Process seems a bit convoluted. It appears to be a bit all over the place and not exactly easy to read. The external environment and internal environment both lead to the strategic intent and strategic mission which is confusing to me.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why? The first question I would ask the author would be: How important is the strategy formulation process to the strategy implementation? and How large is the value of strategic planning? These are two questions that might be opinion-based, but I am curious to see what the author would respond to each question.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How? I do think that there was anything that the author was wrong about. I do not disagree with what he was saying, although some of the reading could have been a lot more cleaned up and easier to comprehend.
