A Thought to Ponder "I plan. 9 create. J tabe rab J bee my passion J em an ENTREPRENEUR.” —efronymos ce BE INFORMED Anna's interest in business started when she was a fourth-grade pupil. She helped hermotherin preparing their cookie products andselling them to their stall in the supermarket every day. When she graduated from senior high school, she learned to devise her own strategies in selling and to improve the ingredients of the cookies her mother taught her. In college, she managed to have her own coffee shop, which offers several kinds of desserts. Can we consider Anna as an entrepreneur? Is selling cookies and other desserts can be called entrepreneurship? Unit 1: ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ICT{ Entrepreneurship is a way of exchanging products or services. It can also be described as the task of managing a business to improve the life of an individual. This word coincides with different business activities, which can be in the form of producing or serving tangible or intangible products. An entrepreneur is a person who. plans, organizes, manages, supervises, and performs the functions of an owner who is directly related to the risks and uncertainties of a business or an enterprise for the purpose of having an income or profit. He or she acts as a visionary, an innovator, and a change agent. You can simply say that an entrepreneur plays the role of an actor while entrepreneurship is the act. The concept of entrepreneur is somewhat related to the concept of manager. However, it can differ in many areas. For instance, the income of an entrepreneur depends on the earning or progress of the company while a manager’s salary is fixed. To better distinguish the difference between an entrepreneur and a manager, look at the table below. Profit alary: Owner Employee Innovator Flexible income Implementer/Executioner ‘xed income tart a business HELE: Foundation of ite Sis 4 Render a serviceAnyone can sell products anytime, provided that he or she has all the necessary resources in order to achieve his or her immediate goal/s. However, not everyone can succeed in this field without having the basic knowledge on how to handle a business. Becoming an entrepreneur means overseeing the possible problems that may arise in the business. The concept of entrepreneurship started to develop before the colonization era begins. The people in a community were gathered ina certain place to trade goods. They trade products such as food, metals, fabrics, and animals. In the modern-day world, technology plays a big part in people's lives. The procedures or methods of traditional trading have changed and have become modernized over time. People no longer need to consume most of their time, effort, and resources in preparing, advertising, and selling their products or services. They can use modern-day resources to operate and produce products and services effortlessly. Due to these changes, the competitions among entrepreneurs became more challenging. Principles of Entrepreneurship The following are the principles that you need to consider before entering the world of entrepreneurs. 1. If there’s a will, there’s a way. Anything is possible to a person who has the will and determination to reach his or her goals. Your passion to start a business is one of the essential factors to stay in the business.

The most common types of businesses in the Philippines that entrepreneurs can choose from are the following: lis Sole proprietorship is the simplest among all other types of business. The business is owned and managed by a single person only. Proprietor is the term used referring to the owner of this type of business. He or she is fully accountable on the profits, liabilities, and legal issues of his or her business. Partnership consists of two or more persons. Each person contributes monetarily to the business fund. The profits earned will be divided among themselves depending on the terms they have agreed upon. When a member of the partnership suddenly leaves the business, the business may be dissolved. There are two kinds of partnership—general and limited. a. General partnership means that each member has an equal authority to manage and control the business and to make decisions regarding the business as well. The disadvantage of this partnership is that when a member in the partnership obtains debts which he or she could not pay, all the other members will also be liable. b. Limited partnership involves an agreement in which the members will have limited authority in managing and running the business. Most of the members act as an investor rather than an owner. Depending on the terms agreed upon, a member who has debts will not affect the other members of the partneship. Instead, he or she will lose his or her investment in the business. Corporation is a group of people who contributes to the business in the form of investments and capital. The people under corporation is called shareholders. Each shareholder has his or her own privileges and liabilities that are different from the other members. A corporation is required to obtain the filing of specific documents in the barangay, organizations, or government for the business license and permits. Unit 1: ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND ICTOcha 4. Cooperative is a nonprofit organization, which is operated by the members of the organization. It is a group of people who has the same mutual, social, economic, and cultural benefit, or common goal.
