One of the topics covered in chapter 9 is entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial firms. I found an article online titled, “Giving Dangerously- Advice for Three Types of Female Entrepreneurs.” Being a female- and a management major, I found this article interesting. This article starts off saying that many female entrepreneurs have the basic nature to give- they look for new, positive ways to do this and it usually leaves them drained and exhausted. The author of this article argues that it doesn’t have to be this way. She outlines three different “types” of female entrepreneurs and explains how each “type” should act- in regards to giving and receiving- in order to grow as a successful entrepreneur.

One of the topics covered in chapter 7- and the basis for Discussion Question #6 is the affects of China revaluing the Yuan. For my discussion question, I stated that I did think it would be a good idea for China to revalue the Yuan. While looking online, I came across the article, “Why Would China Revalue The Yuan?” –which strengthened my reasoning. This article states the six main factors that could persuade the Chinese authorities to allow the revaluation of the Yuan. These six factors include; overheating the Chinese economy, the sterilization policy becoming unwieldy, the constrains interest rate policy, the desire to moderate dollar reserve accumulation, the need to balance a growth model, and the pressure China faces from the U.S. and other foreign governments. Take a look and see what you think- does this affect your answer for DQ #6?
