My exciting stint as Lecturer on Entrepreneurship at this AGSB

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Rizal Philippines
September 29, 2019

I have stopped teaching for the last 2 years and the only two subjects that I taught were Entrepreneurship.   I had 3 classes on leadership and the head of HR cluster, Hilda  taught that I would be useful in that subject being a practicing business leader.  I think I was successful in teaching that too.

The batch under Alran think we were one of the best and  the school prided itself as one of the best GSB in the Philippines and the world.  The Dean sent me and several others to Korea and Thailand together with US universities to hone our knives on entrepreneurship subject

I remember that in conducting this class we had some unique practices:

1. There were 3 invitations to entrepreneurs which became a campus activity:  Vicky Belo, the presentation on 3d printing, Francis Kong and sevral others  One portion of the subject, the last session was learning form the masters.  We had aside from those mentioned Jajo Quintos fmr Pres of  IBM, the head of Splash, and many more.   Even George Weineke who became a professor though he is not Masteral Graduate was discovered in such a presentation

We even did a Social Entrep convocation in an AGSB celebration.  This was a class activity project, and we did not get sponsor just snacks.   The Chair Col. Rosauro Sibal encouraged us to get out of the box.

2.  Serendipity walk (copied from ACE guys)

3.  Teaching materials at Slideshare

4.  Using blog for assignments, syllabus submission, and forum.  Using digital medium for teaching although I did not have access to Blackboard. Done on my own initiative

5.  Self development projects:  like self tributes and videos expounding advertising oneself.  I asked students to post this on You Tube

6...Creative projects in the classroom by groups and to practice sales pitch

7.  Plant, hospital, clinic visits owned by students;

8... Book reports at the class on unique topic.  Now billionaires and moguls encourage 1 book per week
      reading.  Warren Buffet encourages a more severe routine one book a day.

      We had interesting books like Michael Gerber on E myth, the Millionaire Next Door by Danko, Pirates
      of the Silicon Valley,  Edward de Bono, on Lateral Thinking. and many ore  We had great learning                 experience at the  class.   Pretty Exciting.  

9.  Prayer before and after class; Practicing reflection as we do in the faculty conference   We even had Jamie Rivera singing "Sino Ako" at MBAH on Saturday invited by  Dra. Lagman...


.10.    Writing business plan.  I think this is a basic graduation skills and I required  individual business plans. Writing a business plan takes time and research.   and puts together the marketing, HR, operational, financial skills learned by the student.   The new Dean, wanted grades at the end of the term.  With this conflicting modes of teaching idea, the author had no recourse not to teach anymore.  What is entrep course if the student finishes the course without knowing how a business plan is written.

I even had a vision linking my class on Agricultural Entrepreneurship with CLSU  and Philrice, and examining more the potential of SL -8 for food security, after visiting the school with a group of Chinese businessmen.

    I got several invitations from contests sponsored by MIT on business writing and we could have
    anyone in the school participate because no one was paying to business plan...

I was proud of being a staff of AGSB and having done this for the school and the PTM the students who will be future business leader here and abroad. I think it was Entrep class like no other


Do you agree that this was an exciting stint?

Flag Counter Has Been Added as A Gadget to Entrepshare

Flagcounter has been added as a blog gadget to Entrepshare.  This was benchmarked from the Knight Runner blog of MLS, an entrep student at Sta. Rosa.

The flag counter which is linked to the stats of blogger counts the visitors, the pageviews and the nationalities of the visitors.

Initial stats shown that really, this blog has acquired international viewership;  it is not just a local blog.  And students at AGSB who took up entrepreneurship under profjorge, should be truly proud.

What Pisses You Off

 One of the NU6 (or N12 as the case maybe) I require from students is to write on what pisses them off at their neighborhood, mall, and at the school.  Frankly speaking, I think the students are speaking truthfully when they talk about cost benefit analysis of their high tuition at AGSB, and the value that they get.


In terms of equipment and machinery, in the two sites where I teach, the IT does not work properly and hence my blog teaching methodology does not work well; there is no wifi, there is virus at the computer;  I think I lost the contents of my USB; maybe we  blame the landlordon the over all ambiance is that of run down place:  dirty, bad maintenance dark hallways (no lights) dusty wall. Whatever happened to 5s being taught at opeman?

Maybe, these are the causes of low turn out of enrolees.  If we are to be entreprenurial, then these things must be addressed sqarely.  Brutal facts/reality bite. And hard.

The Dean Announced I will attend Stanford Entrep Tech Teaching Conference in Thailand in 2012

 The Dean of AGSB, Albert Buenviaje, called me up yesterday and announced that I will be attending, together with Dr. Tony del Carmen of ME program, and Prof Glen San Luis a Stanford Tech Conference to be held in Thailand next year.  It will be about innovation, technology in entrepreneurship education.  Boy am I glad  have a lot of videos and materials in this blog and Nuideashare from ecorner of Stanford U.

I will learn a lot more.  I am glad to know that despite being 60, I am still not being retired.  Some useful teaching years may still be ahead of me;  otherwise, AGSB will not invest any more in my self development.  This blog is grateful to Dean Albert and AGSB for this opportunity

Sta Rosa Laguna Entrep Class Yesterday, November 29, 2011

 I would have gone around the entire AGSB system by now (not yet if there is Iloilo?):  Cebu, Clark, Subic, last Saturday was Lipa and yesterday, Sta Rosa.  Prof Aguila often invited me to teach there;  but I couldn't if there was no demand. or request.

I left a little bit late for Sta Rosa from Angono Rizal so I decided to go via C6 which I know is in state of disrepair.  It took me one hour from Angono to Sta Rosa exit, but 30 minutes from the exit to the AGSB campus in Sta Rosa.

I arrived 5:30 at the campus;  met Mr. Richard Victoria, our staff there and the first of the 8 students: Mr. Gerardo Gutierrez, whom I thought to be also teaching.  He happened to know Mr. Med Chua, a former high school classmate, whom I met at SM last Sunday, and he said he is again active at semicon industry in Laguna.  The building was in a state of disrepair and urgently needs clean up.  (Hmmm wht pisses you off)

The eight enrolees are Norman, Gerry, Leah, Engr. Redentor, Mark Lester, Maiza, Mildred, and Armando.

Nice to see you guys.

Difficulty with Regards to Objective and Assessment of Critical Thinking and Innovativeness

Our generation needs an ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION.

At one point in many of the faculty conferences, it was told that some of the outcomes needed for MBA graduates are: innovative, original, and critical thinking.

And yet what methodologies and tools of assessment are to be employed? departmental test and traditional paper and pencil tests? Are they not supposed to measure the memory skills of students? And then we expect critical and innovative thinking from the graduates?

I think, creativity and critical thinking can be developed and measured in some other ways, not only through departmental exams.

Profjorgeentrep with Mr. Larry Farrell, International Expert on Entrepreneurship

Mr Larry Farrel visited the Phiiliipines thrice:   the first was in 2009 when he had a lecture on corporate entreprenuership  at UAP.  Then he visited Ateneo twice:  in January 20l0, and lately in 20ll.  Mr Farrell has trained over 5million people on entrepreneurship.  His specialty is advising big companies and countries on how to be entrepreneurial.  In the recent meeting with Dean of Ateneo Graduate School of Business, Alberto Buenviaje, Mr Farrelll signified to do work together with Ateneo especially in making Ateneo as Center of Entrepreneurship in Asia, as several colleges and universities are in the US.
