Lesson 1

Activity:

Try to analyze the statement of Steve Jobs “Great things in business are never done by one
person, they’re done by a team of people”

Teamwork is a noun described as cooperative or coordinated effort on the part of a

group of persons acting together as a team or in the interests of a common cause. Henry
Ford once said, "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working
together is success." No one can do great things alone. In all successful businesses
teamwork is a key factor.

Application:

Make your own business Philosophy that includes the mission and vision of your business.
Explain why it such your mission and vision statement?

For example, I will have my own Pharmacy in the future. My business Philosophy will be
“We Help. We Share. We Care”. This Philosophy were connected to my mission that is to offer
good quality products in affordable price to the people and my vision that is to take care of
people’s health. I want to help people through providing good quality products specifically
medicines in a very affordable price.
Lesson 2

Analysis
Is it necessary that we will behave ethically? How about to those who are not?

The reason to act morally is to find its genuine esteem to the quality of your life. In case you
cannot discover that esteem, in case it does not include something genuine and positive to your
life, maybe you ought to not do those things you continuously thought you ought to. At
the conclusion of the day, we carry on morally to serve ourselves.

No one ever said leading with ethics was easy. Individuals with a high moral identity score
were more likely to behave morally, while those with a low moral identity score were less likely
to behave morally.

Application
Create your own Business Ethics that shows how you manage a business.

my products and medicines. It is the foundation of a strong relationship with customers, which
directly impacts the success and stability of my business.

Sticking with a decision, especially when pressured to do otherwise, shows honor and courage.

people typically like to work with and buy from those they believe are dependable and principle.

Fairness and equality can be involved in hiring practices, marketing initiatives, business partnerships
and competing within the market for new consumers or clients. In addition, fairness also relates to
equality, which means having an open mind and treating everyone fairly.

Lesson 3
Activity
The picture describes how the team must
cooperate in doing the task together to their
organization to build and construct the good outcome
of a business. As I observed, that the team leader
should be responsible and committed with his job
because he is the one who makes decision and gives
task to his members. While the members are the ones
who follow and obliged to do the given tasked so that
to create a good team building.

Both team leader and members should be

united to know the principles of an organization such
as rules, and norms or values that represents how to
avoid the wrong doings within the group. The
organization must be aware and conscious to
understand the principles.

Analysis
Is philosohpy really needed in doing business?

Answer:

Yes, philosophy one of the most important things that business need and philosophy has
a huge part for having a business since it deals how we manage to see the progression. The
philosophy help us to live better because it provides the tools for us to become a good thinkers
which is the very important in having a business.

Application
Create your own business rules following the set criteria ( realistic, workable,
attainable, achievable and practical ) and explain why it is attainable in the set criteria.

Criteria:

Realistic Focus to the outcome rather than to achieve.

Workable Perform the task eagerly with honestly, compassion, excellence and committed.

Attainable Motivation to achieve the goal.

Achievable Based on the current conditions and realities of the business climate.

Practical Truly to do their task and they tend to attain clearly valuable destinations with
 a more or less quick support.

REALISTIC

Realistic is more on focus the outcome rather than to achieve it. The team is well
organized by planning the possible thing that will happen in the business such as skill s, funding
and equipment. First, let us discuss about the skills that refers to the employees who are
suitable for the job, i.e. good in verbal and non verbal communication skills whether it is
intrapersonal and interpersonal skills, analytical skill which means a person knows how to
analyze that will impart their knowledge towards the team. Second is funding, let us try to
assess if the funds can provide the needs of its organization. Lastly, the equipment we used for
to make the things easily to improve our own business.

WORKABLE

Workable is a person who you can trust in the business that is hardworking, honest,
compassionate, excellent and committed towards his duty and co-workers. In a business, all
employees are required to do their assigned task. Learn to coordinate with one another
regarding with its concerns and new ideas for the good outcome.

ATTAINABLE

Attainable is positive thinking when you identify goals that are most important to you,
you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true. You develop the attitudes, abilities,
and skills to reach them. While goals should be lofty, employees must believe they’re
achievable. Make sure targets aren’t too ambitious.

For example, in pharmacy business you need to develop your ability specially your skills on how
you read the prescription as stated by the physician in order you to achieve that goal.

ACHIEVABLE

Achievable is base on the current conditions and realities of the business climate. It will
achieve this by staying focused, working hard, and proving and documenting the value.

PRACTICAL

Practical is just truly to do their task and they tend to attain clearly valuable destinations
with more or less quick support. Doing practical in any form by the action gives more values in
the presence of every challenge.
Lesson 4
Analysis
Based on your experienced do you think you have passed the paradigm shift? Why or why
not?

Yes, because when I was experiencing the tragedy of my work in the pharmacy, I passed the
paradigm shift through adapting the changes of what is wrong in the past that create a big
mistake in handling the business. Through these changes I remove all the bad impact which is
the causes why this business is failing, indeed I make more strategic move that makes the
business improve and most of all is to survive.

Application
Have you ever experience paradigm shifting your life? When and how: Discuss
thoroughly.

Yes, when I am 11 years old, I and my father was going to the ocean to catch a fish for our daily
consumption in our family. When we are in the middle of the ocean we start catching a fish, then it is 6
o’clock in the evening were suddenly the storm has come and it has a big wave that our boat might be
sinking by that time. I am so scared because that is my first time to encounter that very strong wind and
waves. Later on I prayed to god begging his presence despite our situation by that night, and suddenly
there will be a miracle that I’m me not expected, the strong wind and waves are suddenly calm, i am so
grateful by that time I am thankful to our god that he heard my prayers. My paradigm shift for my life is
that I am really believed, because we have a god that always heard our prayers when we need help from
him through that time I'm really changed my faithfulness to god that he is so powerful.
