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 was the fact that SKS was lending the poorest of the poor, who were making only $1 a day. This company made a great profit, too. It is incredible to me that this firm was able to go after the lower class as a target market. As the section is headed, “Why should business among the very poor be different than it is anywhere else?"
2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you. One part of the reading that was somewhat confusing was the first part about the thugs. It seems ridiculous that a small group of thugs could have such a great influence on such a large company.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why? How did you leverage the business so quickly? and What is your strategy moving forward? I think these are vital questions to ask the firm because this seems to be a successful and important business to so many people, over 2 million.
4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How? I do not seem to disagree with what the author is saying, since he has created results with a 99.5% repayment rate and has leveraged a great brand.
