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).

Improving standard of living - this means that entrepreneurship can lift up the economic status of an individual. 4.

Concept of Entrepreneurship Entrepreneurship is one of the resources economists categorize as integral to production; the three resources are land/natural resources, labor and capital. An entrepreneur combines these three to manufacture goods or provide services. They typically create a business plan, hire labor, acquire resources and financing, and provide leadership and management for the business (www.investopedia.com). The word “entrepreneur” was derived from the French verb enterprendre, which means “to undertake.” This is pinpointing to those who “undertake” the risk of enterprise. The enterprise is created by an entrepreneur and the process is called “Entrepreneurship.” Entrepreneurs are innovators, willing to take risks and generate new ideas to make it unique and profitable solutions to the present-day problems. Factors Affecting Entrepreneurship 1. Personality Factors which includes: a. Initiative – It means doing things even before being told. b. Proactive - Means he can classify opportunities and seize it. c. Problem Solver - It means he can retain good relations with other people. d. Perseverance - Meaning he will pursue things to get done regardless of challenges. Module in Entrepreneurship by Leila C. Magno and Pinky A. Oligo 4 MODULE 1| INTRODUCTION TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP e. Persuasion - means that he can entice people to buy even if they don’t. f. A Planner - meaning he makes plan before doing things and do not fail to monitor it. g. Risk-taker - which means that he is willing to gamble but he will calculate it first. 2. Environmental Factors - Include political, climate, legal system, economic and social conditions and market situations. Are entrepreneurs born or made? This question has long been debated with little agreement. However, as cited by Longenecker, J.G., et.al. (2016), Stephen Spinelli and Robert Adams described entrepreneurs as having and exhibiting “desirable and acquirable attitudes and behaviors” such as commitment and determination, leadership, opportunity obsession, risk-takers, motivation to excel, creativity, self-reliance, and adaptability. According to (www.ideasforleaders.com), competencies such as risk seeking, assertiveness and vision are considered typical of a successful entrepreneur. But these are innate predispositions or aspects of temperament; by using them as yardstick, it is wrongly concluded that only certain types of people make good entrepreneurs or are capable of worthwhile innovations. Is there such a thing as a ‘natural-born entrepreneur’? Accordingly there is not. Specific techniques and habits must be practiced and developed by all wouldbe entrepreneurs. Aside from business competencies, entrepreneurs need interpersonal and self-leadership skills too; however, these are often overlooked. Entrepreneurial behavior‟ can be learned and developed (www.ideasforleaders.com). The question is not who entrepreneurs are, but what they do, and more important than business skills can be other competencies that provide a foundation for those business skills (www.ideasforleaders.com). Furthermore, according to www.ideasforleaders.com, there are three levels of competencies, which all entrepreneurs need: 1. Personal competencies – These are your abilities to ground yourself so that you are secure and selfassured in whatever situation you may find yourself. (www.free-management-ebooks.com). Ex. creativity, determination, integrity, self-criticism. 2. Interpersonal competencies – These are your ability to lead, influence, communicate, supervise, negotiate, and control people at all levels. It is the ability to get along with people and motivate people to perform jobs. Entrepreneurs must effectively manage people (baseread.com). Ex. communication, engagement, delegation 3. Business competencies – These are set of particular abilities and knowledge that sets a company apart from its competitors (yourbusiness.azcentral.com). It also refers to the key characteristics that successful entrepreneurs should have in order to be successful (www.mustangbols.com). Ex. business vision, financial management, networking Core vs. Common Competencies in Entrepreneurship Competencies in entrepreneurship play a leading role in making entrepreneurs successful (baseread.com). Entrepreneurial competencies facilitate opportunity recognition, help adapt rapidly to changes, enhances business performance, strengthen the firm‟s competitive position and stir the achievement of organizational success. It is the sum total of the personality, skills and knowledge that the entrepreneur possesses, which are necessary to effectively perform their functions and responsibilities (Edralin, D. M., 2016). Competence is an underlying personal characteristic which leads to superior performance. It is a combination of knowledge, skills, attitudes, and motives (baseread.com).
