An entrepreneur is comprehensively defined by Zimmerer & Scarborough (2005) as
someone who “creates a new business in the face of risk and uncertainty for the purpose of
achieving profit and growth by identifying significant opportunities and assembling the
necessary resources to capitalize on them”. They are the ones who act on their business ideas.

content of the lesson on who is an Entrepreneur?
Four basic aspects of being an entrepreneur?
1. Creation of something value- This means entrepreneurs create products or
services that can be offered for a price.
2. Devotion of necessary time and effort- Entrepreneurs devote their time and
effort towards the attainment of their personal goals. In business, some of these
goals are to earn profits, to make products/services available in the community,
to provide employment and income for their family and other reasons.
3. Assumption of necessary risks- In the pursuit of their goals, entrepreneurs
assume risks on the possibility of losing whatever they put in. in business there

7
 is the possibility to fail and lose everything. But the possibility of earning big is
even greater.
4. Getting rewards- Many entrepreneurs reap the rewards of their efforts through
the generation of profits and business expansion. Moreover, the prestige of being
a business owner provides intrinsic satisfaction.

Who is an Entrepreneur?

An Entrepreneur is a person who starts and or or operates a business. An

entrepreneur is creative and innovative.
 He is a person who starts something new. An entrepreneur may be male of
female, young or old, professionals, college graduate or school dropout,
comes from A, B C, D or E economic group. He is an owner-manager who is
willing to take risks. Usually he is someone not willing to work for others.
Instead he wants others to work for him. Usually , also his kind of business is
single proprietorship because he does everything from production to selling.
Role of Entrepreneurs in the Economy
Entrepreneurs are vital in the economic development of the country. They
provide employment and income moves in the economy forward, as shown in
the vicious cycle of development below.

Employment and Income

Entrepreneurs Investment

Savings and Taxes

Figure 1-1. Vicious Cycle of Development

Thus, the cycle results to economic development as more people are employed and
enjoy an income through the investment of an entrepreneur. The government likewise benefits
in the process because entrepreneurs, as businessmen, pay taxes, hence, the government has
the funds to provide service to the people.
It should be remember that the activity of one entrepreneur provides a multiplier effect.
For example – Jose decided to manufacture T-shirts and buys his materials from Mr. Santos.
Hence, Mr. Santos hires workers to meet the requirements of Jose and Jose hires workers to
produce the T-shirts. If Jose will close his business, eventually, Mr. Santos will also close his
shop unless he has a lot of customers. This cycle, is the opposite of the cycle above, called the
cycle of regression.
The previous cycle also shows that entrepreneurs are:

8
 Mobilizers
of capital

Service providers Tax payers

Employers Suppliers of products

1. Mobilizers of Capital. Entrepreneurs sometimes use their own savings as capital for
their business ventures. However, if they do not have the capital, money can be
borrowed from banks to finance their intended business.
2. Service providers. Business ventures of entrepreneurs could be along the line of service
like parlor, spas or coffee shops.
3. Employers. Usually, entrepreneurs hire people to help them in their business. A
restaurant owner, for example, will hire cooks and kitchen helpers while he, the owner,
does the purchasing and attending the customers.
4. Tax payers . Business establishments pay taxes to the government. Thus , more business
would mean more taxes and better government services.
5. Suppliers of products. Products and services are available through the efforts of the
entrepreneurs. Without them, a scarcity of certain products and services will be felt.

Role of Entrepreneurship in Economic Growth

Micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are a vital component of the economy.
Microbusiness,small and medium enterprises provide employment for 70 percent of the
Philippine labor force. According to the 2001 National Statistics (NSO), of the total business
enterprises of 811, 589 the MSMEs provide jobs to 69.1 percent of the employed Filipino with
their economic output at 32 percent. It is important for the economy to increasethe output of
the MSMEs to help the economy moving and growing. To attain this, MSMEs should have more
access to (1) credit, (2) better sources of raw materials, (3) modern technology and (4) more
marketing information. The government has three strategies to help MSMEs.
They are:
 Provide credit , technology and marketing support to new enterprises from 24 billion
Pesos in 2004 to 309.98 billion pesos in 2010.
 Tap overseas Filipino workers to invest their earning in MSMEs.
 Promote greater involvement of local government unit (LGUs) in promoting small
business activities by providing them information on business opportunities, available
sources of funds, and the latest product design.
In November 2002, RA 9178 was signed into Law. RA 9178 or the Barangay Micro Business
Enterprises (BMBEs) Act of 2002 or provides five incentives and benefits. These incentives and
benefits are:
 Exempts BMBEs from income tax and encourages LGUs to exempt or reduce local taxes
imposed on BMBEs.
 Exempts BMBEs from coverage of the minimum wage law.
 Improves credit delivery to BMBEs.

9
  Provides for technology transfer, production and management training and marketing
assistance to BMBEs.
 Provides trade and investment promotion to BMBEs.

Entrepreneurs in Small and Medium Industries

Entrepreneurs are engaged in either small or medium business. This is because
basically the establishments of business are dependent upon the amount of capital that
you can put in ad the number of employees that you hire. Many business started small
and then moved on towards big business.
Small and medium scale businesses are important in the country because of the
following reasons:
1. They help provide the supply of products to customers. For example, a
family needs only a can of milk per week and this need in met by the
nearby store in the community.
2. They help provide personal services. For example, you need a haircut,
this service is provided by the neighbourhood barber shop.
3. Small and medium scale business serves as a means of earning to an
umemployed individual. For example, the service of Juan dela Cruz, a
factory worker, was terminated. From the separation pay he received,
Mr. Juan dela Cruz started a repair shop and earns in the process.
4. The small and medium scale businesses also provide employment to
other people. In our example under #3, Mr. Juan dela Cruz also hired
workers to help him in the process of providing repair services to his
customers. Thus, unemployment in the country is reduced.
5. Small and medium scale entrepreneurs also pay taxes to the government
and such payment allows the government to provide services to the
people. Some of these services are education, sanitation, peace and
order, electricity, health and others.
The small and medium entrepreneurs cannot be underestimated. Financially, they
provide purchasing power to their workers; psychologically, they enjoy prestige and
satisfaction because they own their business and economically they add to the supply ans
demand of goods and services.
Entrepreneurs are found practically in every community. For example, the producers of
rags sold along the busy city streets, the scissors makers in the provinces, the candle makers,
vegetable growers and , many others. These people boost the economy and make their country
proud of their industriousness.

Topic 2:

Defining Consumer
ENTREPRENEURIAL COMPETENCIES

Entrepreneurs are ambitious. They have strong desire to succeed. They are motivated
by their personal mission and vision. They are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. They
take risks and sometimes at a higher level than most other people. They are ready to take the
road less travelled. They are confident they will succeed. They have no one to answer to; they
are their own bosses. The risk-taking quality of an entrepreneur is not the same as that of a
gambler. The entrepreneur has a way of controlling the outcome. The outcome is not left to
chance.

Learning Outcomes
At the end of this topic, you must be able to:

1. Identify entrepreneurial competencies.

2. Give importance of the reminders to the new Entrepreneur.

To give you substance understanding of the topic, we will explore the topic more. Read the
content of the lesson on Entrepreneurial Competencies.
Characteristics of Entrepreneurs:
 They have a strong desire to succeed
 They are risk-takers
 They are creative
 They take responsibility for their activities
 They have a high level of confidence.
For one wanting to be in business, he should test himself against the above competencies. The
benefits of entrepreneurship in the succeeding sections will help in making decision on which
course of action take.
The rewards of entrepreneurship are:
1. Money or material return of profit
2. Freedom
3. Psychological rewards
Profit generally comes in the form of money or cash. This is the material income or
rewards from running a business. Profit is left after deducting the cost and expenses from the
selling price of products and services. Thus,
Selling Price—Cost and Expenses+ Profit
The entrepreneur has freedom to do what he feels is fit in his business. The products
may be those he bought for sale, those he bought and converted to other products or those
services he renders to others. Freedom includes what products to sell, where to sell and when to
sell. This is what is referred to as being one’s own boss.

12
 The third benefit of entrepreneurship is the good feeling of being of service to others. The
entrepreneur is able to satisfy customers need, to give work or employment to others, to pay
taxes to government and support the community.
Problems of Entrepreneurship
Just as there are benefits in entrepreneurship, there are also some problems. The
problems are:
1) Entrepreneurship demand hard work
2) Entrepreneurship demands long working hours
3) Entrepreneurship may cause emotional stress.
The desire to succeed in terms of profit, satisfying customers’ needs and sustaining the
company make the entrepreneur work harder than the others who are employees. The
entrepreneurs may lose his capital, may lose his credit or may lose face if he is not able to make
profit or when he is not able to produce the needed cash. If capital and cash is not enough, he
may keep on looking for sources to fill in his need for money. He may lose his face and money
even be charged in court for bouncing checks. Some entrepreneurs end up going back to
employment or becoming employees again. This is after experiencing both being an employee
and being an entrepreneur. Generally, the employees stop thinking of their work-related
problem when they leave their work places. Entrepreneurs think of their own business
wherever they go.

Strengths and Weaknesses

What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses? These two questions will guide you in
your self-evaluation with regards to entrepreneurship. Skills, knowledge, health, interest, the
desire to grow are strengths that will push a person to be an entrepreneur. Weaknesses, like
lack of self-confidence or inability to speak well and convince people are temporary and can be
improved by going to the beauty salon, a visit to the dentist or the dermatologist for skin
problems. A change in wardrobe, diet and exercise can do wonders to improve self-confidence.

Reminder to the new Entrepreneur

A starting business entrepreneur, bear in mind that you would start business by yourself or
with a small group of people. It is important to stick to the basics of running a business, such as;
1. Make sure you get things done.
2. Be close to the customers.
3. Innovative. Be open to new ideas.
4. Produce through people. Trust them.
5. Be hands-on running your business.
6. Be clear with your values.
7. Know your expertise. Continue doing it. Stick to what you know best.
8. Keep things simple.
9. Keep a lean staff.
10. Keep firm on directions but at the same time give your people autonomy. Be good at
balancing the two.

Entrepreneurial Qualities and Self- Assessment

In the Philippines, extensive research by the Small Enterprise Research and

Development Foundation at the Department of Trade and Industry reveals 10 Personal
Entrepreneurial Characteristics (PECs) that lead to success. These are grouped into what are
called the Achievement Cluster, the Planning Cluster, and the Power Cluster.

_________________

To give you substance understanding of the topic, we will explore the topic more. Read the
content of the lesson on Personal Entrepreneurial Characteristics.

Achievement Cluster
This pertains to the desire of the individual to fulfil or to realize something. This desire
is strong to an entrepreneur who will not stop at any obstacle but take such obstacles as
challenges. Hence, the following characteristics are dominant in him.

15
1. Opportunity- Seeker
a. Perceives and acts on new business opportunities
b. Seizes unusual opportunities to obtain financing, equipment, land, work, work,
space or assistance.
2. Persistent
a. Takes repeated or different actions to overcome obstacles
b. Makes sacrifices or expends extraordinary effort to complete a task
c. Sticks to own judgement in the face of opposition or disappointment
3. Committed
a. Accepts full responsibility for problems encountered
b. Helps own employees to get the job done
c. Seeks to satisfy the customers.
4. Risk-Taker
a. Takes moderate risks.
b. Prefers situations involving moderate risks
5. Values Efficiency and Quality Oriented
a. Always strives to raise standards and aims for excellence
b. Strives to do things better, faster, and at a lower at cost.

Planning Cluster
An entrepreneur is clear on what he wants to achieve. He plans his every move because
he knows that eliminated resources will be used. To make sure that the resources
(money, material, machinery, etc.) are efficiently used, he makes his move tentatively on
paper, hence, the plan. A plan is a blue print of the project that he wants to establish.
Such quality of an entrepreneur demands that he be a:

6. Goal –Seeker
a. Sets clear and specific short-term objectives.
b. Sets clear and long-term goals
7. Information-Seeker
a. Personally seeks information on clients, suppliers and competitors
b. Seeks experts to render business or technical advise
c. Uses contacts or information networks to obtain information
8. Systematic in planning and Monitoring
a. Develops logical, step-by-step plans to reach goals
b. Looks into alternatives
c. Monitors progress and switches lo alternative strategies when necessary to
achieve goals,
Power Cluster
Power does not mean bossing around. This means the power to lead; to convince
people of your ideas; the power to make people believe in you, or the power to persuade
others especially those with negative perceptions. Therefore, an entrepreneur must:
9. Be Persuasive and Good in Networking
a. Uses deliberate strategies to influence or persuade others
b. Uses business and personal contacts to accomplish objectives
10. Possess Strong Self-Confidence
a. Believes in self
b. Expresses confidence in Own ability to complete a difficult task or to meet a
challenge.
Other Factors to Consider

16
 After studying the personal entrepreneurial characteristics (PECs), the entrepreneur determines those
characteristics he already possesses, those where improvements are necessary and environmental
factors. These are:
1. Personal Interest. The personal interest of the individual is a deciding factor in getting into
business. His personal interest will drive him to engage into something that will give him
satisfaction. lf you look around, usually restaurant Owners love to cook.
2. Knowledge / Talents. The skills or talents or knowledge of an individual serve as his best
asset in venturing into something that will earn him an income. People who are good in
computer technology eventually establish internet stations or internet cafes.
3. Training/Work Experience. The kind of training or experience of an individual influences
his desire to go into business. Children of entrepreneurs eventually become entrepreneurs
themselves. Those whose family was engaged in the manufacturing of, say, shoes, ultimately
become shoe manufacturers themselves. In the same manner, those who have worked in a
beauty salon tor quite some time, sooner or later, put up their own salons.

4. Government Support/Assistance Programs. The goal of any government is economic

development. It is done through investment, business and employment. Thus, support is
available in terms of technology, marketing or training. So, check this out in your community.

5. Rate of Growth of Business. There is no profit in venturing into business where the rate of
growth is negative. Check government and industry reports to have a glimpse of the future of
the business you have in mind.

6. Other Considerations. Consider the rate of return of the capital you will put into the
business. Would you earn higher returns by putting your money in the money market
compared to the potential profits if you put up a business? Would you earn more in terms or
salary as employee compared to operating a business? Answers to these questions will
determine your next move.

The Entrepreneurial Personality

Given the characteristics and other considerations in entrepreneurship, the list of
entrepreneurial personality therefore can be lumped into three (3), namely:
1. High need for achievement. Here lies the strong desire of an individual to pursue his
dream, a dream that could be long-range or immediate. His dream keeps on flashing in his mind until
he makes a move for it to be realized.
2. Strong belief that they can control their destiny: William Jennings Bryan said
"Destiny is a not a matter of change, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a
thing to be achieved." Indeed, it is!
3. Risk-taker. Risk is present in eve3y activity, but it can be lessened. Business risk can be
learned or avoided by careful planning, insurance and being alert of what t is happening around.
Poultry farm pest, for example, can be avoided by vaccination or selling the entire herd in case of
epidemic in a nearby farm.
In spite of the risk involved in business, entrepreneurs establish their business because they
prefer to be independent, to be personally responsible for solving problems, setting goals and reaching
goals through their own efforts. They prefer to take calculated risks. They usually are not likely to be
contented in a corporate or government employment.
