Week 5 Reading Reflection

This week I think that the biggest surprise in the reading was how many people do business through online sites like eBay. I myself have used the site from time to time, but I never really thought of it like that. I guess a lot of people see it for what it is, an online marketplace to do business. The part of the chapter that confused me the most was the differences when it came to the different types of ownership. Some have obvious benefits over others for certain ventures, but with some of the similar ones it's much harder to see why you'd use one over the other. If I could ask the author anything for this chapter it would be "which of the pittfalls are the most common to run into when starting your own business?", then I would ask about the best way to avoid them from happening. This chapter is pretty much just a factual layout of everything that gets covered, so it's hard to find something to disagree with this week.
