1. After reading Gupta Chapter 9 and viewing my recorded lecture on the chapter as well as the video "Innovation Strategy: Innovation Deployment", answer the following: What are your thoughts about the subjects discussed in your text and in the video? What are your thoughts on the "five main factors" she lists in terms of crafting a deployment strategy? Are there any connections between her factors and what's discussed in Chapter 9?

2. After reading the article "What Your Innovation Process Should Look Like," share your thoughts on what these authors share about what should go into a successful innovation process. Again, try to make connections between their ideas they share and what was in Chapter 9 of your text.
