Entrepreneurship is getting out of the box, counter intuitive

Looking forward to the future of business

This video is like going back to my days of teaching this subject:  It runs counter to what is taught in regular MBA.   It is very much different from big, corporate business:

1.  Narrow vs big market;

2.  Cash flow   OPM Ask for cash/dp

3.  Yes we can (focus vs being serial entrep;reneur)

4.  Problem first

5.  Beg or borrow.  

Larry Farrel say its little money and little learning

       

The time is right for entreprenership - Go Negosyo

Looking forward to the future of business

The time is ripe for entrepreneurship -JC Go Negosyo

The best time was    10 years ago.  The next best time is tomorrow.  

This post was espousing this, as serving as Lecturer for the same subject at a GSB.  And also while joining the same movement in promoting entrepreneurship.   From Zero to One like bosses at Pay Pal  -  Peter Thiel.   From nothing to something.

Thisi decade will see at more $84 trillion of wealth being transferred to heirs in the next decades to come from owners of wealth to heirs.   We will see less of entrepreneuership and innovation

Transfer of wealth $84 trillion

This chart shows this to be over$100 trillion

One can see a surge of many start ups and new businesses format in the country    we deliver, fintech, food stall, coffee shops, snack bar, glamping, camping, bike tours destination 

Many have been agile and flexible.   The number of new enterprises is not known,   This does not include many form of scammers and crimes:   investment scarms, romance scams, selling scams which are nothing more than illegal way of raising funds for their needs.   Scammers are more numerous than ever. There is a surge in the number of Doctors Hospital which saw private sector improving health services (which was normally the responsibility of the govt)

There are many factors contributing to this:   like efforts of DTI to promote entrepreneurship, Go Negosyo which is now Cabinet post,  franchising, many new business consultants.

But this post is happy to have been part of this movement:

1.  Teaching entrepreneurship in a grad school of business for 13 years (despite other opportunities to build business)

2.  Striving to have business branches to be a success and be a model for service and excellent operations

3.  Posting ppt at Linked in (about 50 of them for free)  I noted and  it was admitted by a professor that

he based his lecture on business admin on these ppts.  The views on this ppt at Linked in (Slideshare)

have thousands of view from here and abroad.  Some of the ppts have nothing similar in the net.  

These are my attempts to make a dent in the universe

Inalis na ang pangalan ng school sa site title at Post

Professor on Entrepreneurship

Two years na pong hindi binigyan ng kontrata at dahil hindi ako pumayag na ang entrep na student ay hindi bigbigyan ng sapat ng panahon para isulat ang business plan, isang essential graduation skill ng MBA.

Hindi naman agree na ang entrep student ay matatapos ang kurso na hindi alam ang pagsulat ng business plan.   Hayon stop na pag renew ng kontrata.   Wala man lang goodbye.

Isinagguni ko sa dating dean na nagrecruit sa akin kung i reretain ko ang pangalan ng school sa soc media account ko.  Sabi niya makakabuti na alisin ko.   Bagamat ito ay maaaring nakakatulong sa search sa school

Teaching entrepreneurship at a GSB - a recollection

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Rizal Philippines
July 21, 2019

Prof JorgeEntrep Teaching Entrepreneurship at AGSB (updated version 2013) from Jorge Saguinsin

I taught entrepreneurship at famous GSB for more than a decade after I finished my Strama for the MBA for the same school. And taught the same subject all over the country:  Makati, Cebu, Clark, Subic, Sta Rosa.

I have stopped teaching the subject for  the  last 3 years because of 1. Traffic, 2.  Old age (retireable na daw pag 65) and 3.  because  of the new boss.  He was unyielding that the grades will be submitted sooner, which is not possible if one of your requirements is writing a full blown complete business plan.- a  graduation skill that the students of the said GSB lack.

I am sure that my cluster head could have defended this position...  A bp is just as challenging as writing a strama, even more so since you start from zero

I made sure that the 8 (Regis) or 15 weeks (standard) course I offered was both exciting and demanding. The course featured:

     1. Use of electronic means for learning even without the blackboard.  The assignments and the submission
         of assignments was via the blogs.  It made the students more competitive and web savvy

    2.  Shared book reports.   1/2 of the time of the class was spent on presentation and  panel discussion
         of book relevant to entrepreneurship and business

   3.  Group activities:

      1.  Creative work at the  class:  food preparation and making sales pitch

     2.  Micromarket study:  PDQ

   4. Individual

       1. Serendipity walk   - finding as many opportunities in streets that could be desolate or overcrowded
           to practice mastery of opportunties

      2.  New 12 -  listing down new ideas weekly  Paramihan   Practicing creativity

     3.  A self awarenesss, self tribute video

     3.  Writing a full blown business plan:  Objectives Organization, Executive Summary,  The customer, the product, Strategy, FS, Complying with regulations

    Walang quizzes or exams.  Only learning and hard work...I am sure they learned more and the course became very memorable to them.   Some feedback says that its the only time they felt they were in MBA class

  I remember that on several occasions, several class activities became a campus event:

    1.  Inviting Dra. Belo to make a presentation on making people beautiful

    2. Francis Kong

    3. Social entrepreneurship forum on the 40th year celebration of the GSB

    4. 3d printing for creativity...

Business opportunities from the China US trade war.

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Rizal Philippines
July 12, 2019

Many pessimists see nothing but doom and gloom with the tit for tat trade war between US and China.  For one US and China will not go to war.  The economic stakes are so huge and only fools will go to war... Trump must make good his promise to bring jobs back to US and the war vs China trade is to force the hand of the US manufacturers who outsourced in China to come back

Unfortunately, that is not going to happen.  Traders and business men will find a way to seek lower costs.  All ready:

1.  Some manufacturers outsourced in China are moving out to other Asian countries so that tariff will not be imposed. Some of them  consider the Philippines

2. The ingenious ones are in Mexico.   China exports to company in Mexico, Mexico exports to USA;
     Tariff is lower.

Entrepreneurship and innovation will prevail

TV shows on entrepreneurship cant match teachings at Grad School

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Rizal Philippines  |  August 27, 2014

There are many TV shows on Entrepreneurship:  Go Negosyo, Swak na Swak, and so many interviews, they could not match the content and the comprehensiveness of subjects being taught in the grad school.   Some are simply lectures.

The sharing and the hands on training at the classroom cant be matched this event.

So better enroll in Grad School.

There are many misconception about entrepreneurship.  Some view it as quick path to being wealthy.  Some lucky ones become wealthy but it does not mean that entrepreneurship is a rose garden, a bed of roses.  It is strewn with thorns, dangers and broken glasses, to put this mildly.

Breakthrough thinking by Prof Hibino

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Many of us wonder why despite the best minds and analysis, change doesnt happen or many proposals gather dust at the archive.  "Ideas are fine but execution is a bitch."

I like this mindset, breakthrough thinking because it best fits the entrepreneurship mold.  This deals with things that are not or has not been, but of of things that will be.

I posted this in our internal blog of the company because change and achievements are our big problems.

"Breakthrough Thinking PDF

This morning, we talked at the third floor about our inability to reach our targets - inability to reach breakthrough our barriers.  I discussed with them the principles espoused by Prof Hibino at breakthrough thinking.

There are seven principles:

1.  Systems principle
2.  Uniqueness principle
3.  People design
4.  Limited information principle
5.  Solution after next
6.  Betterment timeline
7.  Purpose

This is a better approach especially in designing the future.  We normally design the future based on the past.  There is no basis for predicating the past based on history.  History has been marred by discontinuities and disruptions, if not breakthrough.   This way of thinking is fitted for entrepreneurs who think of things that are not yet there and ask "Why not?""

Latest edition of my lecture on Introduction to Entrepreneurship

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship |  August 20, 2013

This is the 1st edition of the V3, 1st edition of my Introduction to Entrepreneurship Lecture.  Many things have changed and some of the earlier version may no longer be applicable or have been irrelevant.  This is a very long long lecture but has incorporated my latest thoughts and learning including from guest entrepreneurs who have their own definition of the subject.  I hope you like it.

Please watch for my forthcoming lecture on government entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial capitalism

I read the news today -NEDA exhorts business and academe to create jobs

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

Ever since I taught entrepreneurship at the Ateneo GSB, one of the objectives was job creation, in line with the catch phrase of Ateneo -"Our nation is our business"

And today I just read the news that NEDA wants to create more jobs.  This is a good direction rather than Pres Obamas goal to support workers being laid off with unemployment benefits.

I hope this spreads;  no one can save us from the economic contagion that is in Europe and US;   the Taiwanese rift can affect us too. 

But above all we must be self dependent;  Filipinos have taken the lead in investing in our own economy.  Despite lack of FDI you can see construction boom all around us.

Innovative teaching methodology

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

I taught Entrepreneurship for more than a decade in a leading university and Graduate School of Business in Manila PHL.  I am a business entrepreneur - that is my day job.  And I had no training as an educator.  That could be a weakness or a strength.

As a weakness I tried to make up for it by making my classes interesting by innovating and using methodologies that are uncommon.    Some of them:

l.  I updated my syllabus every semester

2.  It may make me look like lazy but much of the learning is student centered.  Individuals and group make the presentations  in class;   my lectures are at slideshare for easy access by everyone.

3.  My syllabus are online.

4. I encouraged my students to upload their work at you tube and slideshare (familiarization with social media)

5.  I had them submit their assignments online at my blogsites.

6.  Many activities relate to real live business situation:   observations of business, food trips,  etc.

7.  To practice creativity:

     l.  We asked students to create new products, menus

    2.  Submit new ideas weekly

And many more.


This slideshare shares with us the new trend in education and many are not responding to this.  Until 3 years ago, I was not a netizen.  I forced myself to learn and even have blogs.


Here is the interesting slideshare presentation on education:

Entrepreneurship in the tourist destination city

Ateneo Professor on Entrepreneurship

 This is an example of vibrant entrepreneurship at PP:   a restaurant and hotel complex.  It has lot of visitors.  It is being improved daily..

 x

                                    Cable TV (by Mr. Gerry Tee?)

Go Hotels are all ready here, so with Robinson and Puregold.  A manager at PG was with us in Honda Bay tour.

They have their own local version of malls.

I would say that PP is comparable to Iloilo in progress and a little bit behind Cebu.  Tourism is a burgeoning industry.  I have interviewed many tourist guides, hotel workers, van drivers, food servers who are from MM and who have jobs at PP.   Business must be booming and earnings must be good.  They are enjoying their jobs and the income.

The areas of investment would surely be the burgeoning tourist industry:

transport, communication, energy (there are places without electricity) waste disposal, eco friendly products, food service, hotels and accommodation, entertainment. travel agency,
