What is It
Take a deep breath then you may start reading the lesson 1 and 2
below about the overview of entrepreneurship and its relevance to SHS
Students.

LessonOverview of Entrepreneurship
1
Meaning of Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneur
(www.investopedia.com, www.reference.com,
www.europeanentrepreneurship.com)
Entrepreneurship is…
• The act of creating a business or businesses while building and scaling it
to generate a profit.
• 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.
• About building a life on your own terms. No bosses. No restricting
 schedules. And no one holds you back.
An entrepreneur is…
• A person who sets up a business with the aim to make a profit and creates
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.
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 as simply one who forms and manages
business is apparent in government programs that attempt 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 business
establishments formed every year would generally show an increasing trend. They

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).
