Sarasvathy Argues That the Entrepreneurial Method Cannot Involve Choices and Decisions

question 15

Multiple Choice

Sarasvathy argues that the entrepreneurial method cannot involve choices and decisions - that is instead the causal line of thinking. Instead, we have a design problem, with open questions which do not have a given answer, according to S. In other words:

• A) this is one of the problems with design, the fact that it has no given answers
• B) we, first of all, need assistance in building something, not help in choosing or optimizing something
• C) we do not actually have any real choices - the majority are given or provided
• D) we do not actually have any real choices - the majority are so open-ended that we can only follow along
