Week 3 Reading Reflection

The thing I found most interesting from the reading was the rise of female entrepreneurs and feminist ideas, such as caring. The idea that caring can lead to a more "genuinely moral climate" is particularly intriguing because it could foster closer relationships, and help relieve the problem of loneliness common among entrepreneurs. One part of the reading that was confusing to me was the distinction between role distortion and role assertion. The examples provided weren't specific to either type of act. If I could ask Kuratko two things, I would first ask him to clarify and provide examples specific to role assertion and role distortion. Second, I would ask him for his opinion on whether or not moral acts tend to be more "against the firm" or "on behalf of the firm." Although I can understand the reasoning behind why entrepreneurs feel lonely, I still somewhat disagree. I'd argue that the personality of an entrepreneur is more extroverted, allowing them to make many friends. Someone with that kind of personality, despite investing most of their time of work, would most likely have close relationships with at least a few people that they could confide in.
