WHAT IS IT

Meaning of Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneur

(www.investopedia.com,www.reference.com ,www.europeanentrepreneurship.com)

Entrepreneurship
This is an act of creating a business or businesses while building and
scaling it to generate a profit. It is an important driver of economic growth
and innovation.
What people do to take their career and dreams into their hands and
lead it in the direction of their own choice. It is about building a life on your
own terms. No bosses! No restricting schedules! And no one holds you back!
(Batalla 2011).

An entrepreneur is…
A person who sets up a business with the aim of making a profit and
creating a new business, bearing most of the risks and enjoying most of the
rewards. An innovator, a source of new ideas, goods, services, and
business/or procedures. Playing a key role in any economy, using the skills
and initiative necessary to anticipate needs and bring good new ideas to
market (Batalla 2011).
Note: Understanding what an entrepreneur is can help more people
recognize the value they contribute to the world. Entrepreneurs take the
idea and execute it while entrepreneurship is about execution of ideas.
Entrepreneurship in the Philippines (Batalla, V. (2011)
The notion of the entrepreneur is simply one who forms and manages
business that is apparent in government programs. It attempts to develop
small-scale industries. In the Philippines, many entrepreneurial
development-training programs rest on such assumptions. But even without
the presence of government support, the statistics for the past fifty years or
so on the number of businesses were mostly in food processing, property
development, and trade (including shopping malls).
In 2005, the top 50 Philippine corporations in terms of sales could be
broken down into 22 private domestic firms, 23 foreign firms, and 5
government-owned and/or controlled corporations (BizNews Asia 2007as
cited by Batalla, V., 2011). The 22 companies could be identified with 11
families and individuals, mostly Filipinos of Chinese ethnic background. The
11 families and individuals were the Zobel family (Ayala), the Lopez clan,
Lucio Tan, Henry Sy, John Gokongwei, Alfonso Yuchengco, Eduardo
Cojuangco Jr., Jose Yao Campos (Unilab Group of Companies), George Ty
(Metrobank), Mariano Que (Mercury Drug), and Tony Tan-Caktiong (Jollibee).
