TOPICS FOR DISCUSSION:
CONCEPT, RATIONALE , SITUATIONER
The Philippines rich in resources, but the people remain
poor as the saying goes. Poverty in the Philippines is still
pervasive and is predominantly a rural problem due to
landlessness, inequitable distribution of wealth and lack of
access to opportunities and resources.
Often times, even though there are opportunities and
resources in the locality, these are not maximized because of
lack of access to information, technology and government
support.
Hence the government and even non-government must
pursue various development programs to address rural
poverty. One way is to encourage people acquire knowledge
in the Concept and importance of Entrepreneurship as one
solution to poverty alleviation by way of Pro poor and Pro
4
market programs, such as Marketing Assistance, Production
Assistance. Financial Assistance, and Human Resource
Development.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
Entrepreneurship – the process of setting up a business. It is
the ability and readiness to develop, organize, and run a
business enterprise, along with any of its uncertainties in
order to make a profit. It involves combining innovation skills
and vision to develop. Simply, it is the act of starting a
business in the hope of earning profit. However, our modern
perception of entrepreneurship has evolved into recognizing
its ability to solve large scale problems and influence social
change. There must be an Entrepreneurial Spirit that runs
through anyone who is ever dreaming of starting their own
business.
IMPORTANCE OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurship is frequently credited as a, major driver of
economic growth spurring transformation, the creation of
new markets, innovation, and building wealth. Entrepreneurs
are often key to developing ideas and solutions to problems
while creating new products.
If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you must find
something you are passionate about to start a business
around. Firmly believing in your idea and pouring your heart

5
and soul into it. Embracing failure instead of fearing it – failure
is just a step towards greatness or success.
In economics, entrepreneurship connected with land, labor,
natural resources and capital can generate a profit. The
entrepreneurial vision is defined by discovery and risk-taking
and is an indispensable part of a nation’s capacity to succeed
in an ever changing and more competitive global market
place.
Entrepreneur - defined as someone who has the ability and
desire to establish, administer and succeed in a startup
venture along with risk entitled to it to make profits. They use
innovation, skills, and vision to develop new products,
services or ideas that meet market demand and create value
for a target clientele/customers. There must be an
entrepreneurial spirit that runs through anyone who is ever
dreaming of starting their own business.
Management – is simply defined as getting things done
through the efforts of others.
Leadership – is the ability of an individual to induce men into
action.
WHAT ARE THE FOUR TYPES OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP ?
Small Business Entrepreneurship – example of this business
are a hair dresser, grocery store, travel agent, consultant, etc.

6
These people run or own their business and hire family
members or local employee. For them , the profit would be
able to feed their family and not making millions.
Scalable Startup Entrepreneurship - starts a business knowing
that their vision can change the world. They attract investors
who think out of the box. The research focuses on a scalable
business and experimental models, so they hire the best and
brightest employees. They require more venture capital to
fuel and back their project or business.
Large Company Entrepreneurship – these huge companies
have defined life-cycle. Most of these companies grow and
sustain by offering new and innovative products that revolve
around their main products. The change in technology,
customer preferences, new competition etc. build pressure for
large companies to create an innovative product and sell it to
the new set of customers in the new market. To cope with the
rapid technological changes, the existing organizations either
buy innovation enterprises or attempt to construct the
product.
Social Entrepreneurship – this type of entrepreneurship
focuses on producing product and services that resolve social
needs and problems. Their only motto and goal is to work for
society and not make any profits

 CHARACTERISTICS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
There are definite characteristics that make entrepreneurship
successful;
 Vision * Leadership
 Risk Tolerance * Creativity
 Innovation * Attention to Details
 Discipline * Curiosity
 Self – Reliance * Passion
 Adaptability *Motivation
VISION – every venture starts with a vision, the desired
direction of the business. Stakeholders, including your
employees and investors look to you – and your vision for
guidance, motivation and decisive leadership, especially
when the going gets though. While your mission statement
defines your organization’s business objectives and how it
intends to reach them, you can also create vision statement to
declare your aspirational goals.
RISK TOLERANCE – NO RISK NO REWARD , that can be true
when launching any business venture. The primary reward of
starting a successful business may be profit or independence,
while the inherent risk is failure –and the personal and
financial setbacks this might entail.
Almost half of businesses fail by their fifth year. This is due to
a number of reasons: cash flow problems, supply chain issues,
high employee turnover, and even unforeseen events like

8
global pandemic. Successful entrepreneurs have some level of
risk tolerance including the ability to make calculated
decisions. Many entrepreneurs take steps to actively manage
their risks and protect their business. IT must be noted that no
business is guaranteed to succeed, so risk tolerance must be
one of your characteristics.
INNOVATION- Innovation drives entrepreneurship, and bold
new ideas propel successful startups into households names.
With big companies dominating crowded markets, new
founders need to find new innovative opportunities to break
in. Make an existing product better or develop something
totally new.
DISCIPLINE – when running a new venture, we sometimes get
tired or run low on self motivation. Entrepreneurs need the
discipline to move forward and do the work – even when they
don’t feel like it. Being disciplined can be especially helpful if
you’re developing an entirely new business concept. :Part of
what makes a leader successful is the ability to see failures as
opportunities to learn and grow.
SELF – RELIANCE – having self-reliance means you’re deft at
problem solving to get things done. You have to do everything
of your own but should realize that you need to ask for help
sometimes.
ADAPTABILITY –while being prepared for every scenario is
nearly impossible, the best entrepreneurs adjust to change
with a positive attitudes. Adaptability is an essential
9
personality trait in a world of evolving business practices and
changing consumer trends. Versatile leaders are comfortable
with failure and have the resilience to overcome challenges
quickly.
LEADERSHIP - is the ability to influence or induce others into
action or to do the job or work whether small team or large
company. Good leaders share their vision, develop well-
rounded teams that complement their abilities, and have
confidence in themselves and what they sell- skills that apply
to every type of business.
CREATIVITY – creativity encompasses more than proficiency in
a specific art form. Creative entrepreneurs find inspiration or
use their imaginations to solve problems often with limited
resources. You can develop creative skills by discovering what
inspires you, reading and learning some of the best
entrepreneur books and forming habits that supports
creativity.
ATTENTION TO DETAIL –attention to details is important
especially if you are entering a saturated market. How can
your idea solve a problem? What unique details and features
help you stand out from the competition? How do you
anticipate customer needs? A market research is therefore a
must.
CURIOSITY- being curios to your business undertaking, critical
thinking is a must.

10
PASSION - many successful entrepreneurs start their own
business from a passion. Whether that’s a profitable hobby, a
unique idea or a drive to make change, passion drives
entrepreneurship. Passion keeps the entrepreneurial spirit
alive through challenge.
MOTIVATION – is critical for few entrepreneurs, as it drives
you forward through the ups and downs of your business.
Understand what motivates you and tie that into your
business goals. Motivation is also important for leaders-
keeping your team motivated to bring your dream to life can
be more challenging. “There has to be a level of authenticity
and transparency from the leader.”
The characteristics mentioned above is only the first step. If
you are planning to start a business, there are concrete steps
you can take to help you become successful entrepreneur.

1. Understand your target market
2. Develop a strong brand
3. Build relationship with customers and clients
4. Make a budget and stick to it
5. Set goals

TARGET MARKET – is the group of customers most likely to

buy your goods or services. Once you define this core group,
11
market research can help you what they need, want, like and
dislike. This understanding will help you follow the right
business opportunities.
DEVELOP A STRONG BRAND – your branding goes beyond
visual identity. It can also position you as the go-to business in
your industry. To develop a strong brand, understand your
competition, determine your primary clients, develop a
compelling story and build brand strategy. Investing in brand
identity can help your company grow and succeed at scale.
BUILD RELATIONSHIP WITH CUSTOMERS AND CLIENTS –
regardless of the type of business you build, your reputation
with your clients and customers is important. Building solid
customer relationship is rewarding in itself, but it can also
help you earn repeat customers, gain valuable word of mouth
referrals, and increase sales.
MAKE A BUDGET AND STICK TO IT – a detailed and realistic
budget can help you reduce some of the risks that comes with
launching a business. The basic of a solid budget include
estimates of your available capital, regular expenditures,
anticipated revenue and areas where you can cut costs. Being
a disciplined entrepreneur and sticking to a budget puts you in
a better position to make your money work for you.
SET GOALS – goals can give you a clear focus and help
motivate your team. Some leaders create goals using the
SMART method: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant
and Time-Based goal setting. This framework can help you
12
clarify your ideas and focus your efforts. As an entrepreneur,
numerous goal-setting tools are available to help you stay on
track while attending to day- to- day operations. Social skills

 Strategic orientation

24
The entrepreneurs born with these management skills come
from a rare breed of people with intelligence, great heart, and
creative skills. They are visionary and self-confident, good
communicators, with unlimited energy and have a strong
passion for what they do. But for those who are not born
blessed with these skills running through their blood, these
critical skills can be learned.
Entrepreneurs are directly involved in the dynamic, and very
complex interrelationship between financial management and
business strategy. This is the significant difference that sets
entrepreneurial management apart from all business
management practices. In almost all cases , the person making
the decision has personal risk at stake.
We define Entrepreneurial Management as the practice of
taking entrepreneurial knowledge and utilizing it for
increasing the effectiveness of new business venturing as well
as small and medium sized businesses.
The heart of entrepreneurial management is continually
juggling these vital management issues:
 What is the venture about? ( mission and values
statement )
 Where should it go?( goals and objectives )
 How will it get there? ( growth strategy )
 What does it need to get there? ( people and resources )
 What structure is best? ( organizational capabilities )

25
  How much money does it need and when? ( financing
strategy )
 How will it recognize the final destination? ( vision of
success )
Uncertainty means that decision makers do not have sufficient
information about environmental factors, which increases the
risk of failure. RISK is the degree of certainty or uncertainty as
to the realization of expected future financial returns in a
business venture.e
RISK SPECIFIC TO ENTREPRENEURIAL CAPITALISM
Risk- taking is essential to capitalism. Without risk the free enterprise
system cannot function. Not all risks and challenges can be
anticipated, but once identified, they can be manage by lead
entrepreneurs, executives, and boards working together
SPECIFIC RISKS THAT CAN BE MANAGE BY ENTREPRENEURIAL
MANAGEMENT
ECONOMIC RISKS – These includes geopolitical threats, economic
cycles, interest rates, and governmental regulations.
PEOPLE RISK - What about the venture team? How did they come
together? Have they worked together before? Can they make through
the growth stage? Or will there be too many cooks in the kitchen.
MARKET RISK –How are the dynamics of this industry sector? Is there
going to be room for growth in this market? What about the risks of
other competitors?

26
TECHNICAL RISK - Does the product work? What about some
technology coming along in the future that will make this
product/technology worthless like a buggy whip?
STRATEGIC RISK – Is there a sustainable competitive advantage?
Includes sharing the risk with strategic alliances and finding the right
operations strategy with a viable business model.
FINANCIAL RISK – Can this venture or activity get funded now? What
about later rounds of financing, when growth kicks in and it needs
more cash?
PERSONAL RISK –Can the lead entrepreneurs truly commit? There are
many sacrifices, as other priorities in life, like family, friends and
vacations that will have to come second.
Left unmanaged, these risks get tightly wound into a knot. When it is
wound so tight, management skills, expert advice, and even hope are
passed up as humans go into the survival mode. In fact the human
organism can tolerate anything except uncertainty, which causes so
much stress that people are no longer capable of thinking in cognitive,
creative manner. They focus on survival. What makes this “ knot of
uncertainty “ so difficult to deal with is that all the entrepreneurial
risks interact with each other.
THE STRATEGY FOR DEALING WITH RISK AND UNCERTAINTY
INCLUDES THREE KEY POINTS:
1. The business plan is the heading that provides guidance
even in the roughest seas.
2. Entrepreneurial knowledge is knowing where the rocks
(or risks ) are at sea.

the rocks.

PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY

WHAT IS FEASIBILITY STUDY AND ITS PURPOSE?

42
 A feasibility study is an assessment that determines the likelihood of
a proposed project being successful. It is a way to evaluate whether or
not a planned project could be successful. The study analyzes the
project’s relevant factors, such as technical, economic, and legal
considerations, to assess whether the project is worth an investment.
WHY IS PROJECT FEASIBILITY IMPORTANT?
Feasibility studies can identify the logistical, financial, and market
challenges of a proposed project by evaluating the needed fund for
the project, if it will offer an ROI from the target market of the
proposed product or service.
Simply, a project study is just to see if a potential project is possible
and will be profitable or worth pursuing.. The importance of FS is
based on organizational desire to “ get it right ‘ before committing
resources, time and budget.
KEY BENEFITS OF CONDUCTING A FEASIBILITY STUDY

 Improves teams’ focus

 Identifies new opportunities
 Provides valuable information for a “ go/no go “
decision
 Narrows the business alternatives
 Identifies a valid reason to undertake the project
 Enhances the success rate by evaluating multiple
parameters
 Aids decision making on the project
 Identifies reason not to proceed

43
FIVE MAJOR COMPONENTS OF A FEASIBILITY STUDY
 Economic
 Marketing
 Technical
 Financial
 Management Feasibility
A project proposal and a project feasibility study are both
critical documents in project management, but they serve
different purposes and focus on different aspects of a project.
Their differences can be breakdown as follows:
PROJECT PROPOSAL - A project proposal assumes a doable
project and explains how it will or should be conducted.
 Purpose – a project proposal is a document that outlines
a plan to address a specific problem or opportunity. It is
often used to persuade stakeholders , such as clients or
investors to approve or fund the project.
 Content – It typically includes:
 Project Objectives – What the project aims to achieve.
 Scope – The boundaries of the project, including what is
included and excluded.
 Methodology – How the project will be
implemented/executed
 Timeline – An estimated schedule for project
milestones.
 Budget – A preliminary estimate of costs

44
  Benefits – The anticipated advantages or outcomes of
the project
 Audience - Mainly aimed at decision makers who need
to approve or fund the project
PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY
 Purpose - A project feasibility study assesses the
viability of a proposed project. It determines whether
the project is practical and worth pursuing based on
various criteria.
 Content – It typically includes:
 Technical Feasibility – Evaluates if the product can be
completed with the available technology and resources
 Economic Feasibility – Analyzes the cost/benefits
effectiveness and financial implications of the project
 Legal Feasibility – Check if there are any legal
constraints or regulations that could impact/affect the
project
 Operational Feasibility – Assesses whether the
organization has the capacity to implement and sustain
the project
 Environmental Feasibility – Whether the Project will not
affect the environment or violate existing
environmental laws
 Schedule Feasibility – Estimates the time required to
complete the project and whether it aligns with
organizational timelines.

45
  Audience – Primarily for project managers,
stakeholders, and decision-makers who need to
understand the practicality of the project before
committing the resources.

SUJMMARY- In summary a project t proposal is about

selling an idea and securing approval, while a feasibility
study is about analyzing the practicality and viability of
that idea. Both documents are essential, but they serve
distinct roles in the project lifecycle.

STEPS TO CONDUCT A PROJECT FEASIBILITY STUDY

1. Complete a Preliminary Analysis – This stage requires
that you outline both your plans any potential obstacles
2. Description of the Project – What are the important
details of the project? Define the scope of the project.
The scope should contain the ff:
 Objectives
 Deliverables
 Quality
 Customer needs and wants
 Schedule
The project feasibility study should start with the basic
details of the project and provide a purpose or goal for
the project.

46
 A project description must include a detailed description
of the project scope and what the project will do and
how it will be done. It must also include information
regarding stakeholders, those who have vested interest
in the project or will be imparted by the project. It should
contain a relatively timeline and task breakdown,
including what will be done , when and by whom,
including the end result of the project. What will the
project produce or create for the company.
3. Market Feasibility – Does anyone need this product or
service. Will anybody use it. Is there a similar
product/service currently available that will prevent
project success. This portion of the study delivers more
information about the demand and volume, interest in
your product, market competitors and market fit.
This will include study of the ff:
 Demand and volume of the product needed . It will also
determine your production capacity to meet the
demand and your target sales.
 Demographics – Population data. Ages, Job Titles ,
Educational Background and other typical information
as go how to design, and distribute your product.
 Market Share - How much of the market will your
product or
Depending on your finding, you can develop a market
positioning strategy that places your product in the best

47
 possible position whenever you begin marketing and
selling it.
 Assess Financial Details - This is the core of your project
together with the operational details. Some methods
that are useful for digging into those critical details:
 Break-even Analysis – Analyze the costs incurred and
consider how long will those costs be regain.
 Potential Profitability – At what point does
additional revenue become profit. Is there enough
profit ?
 Budget or Balance Sheet – With the financial
information gathered, prepare a budget or opening
balance sheet. This should reflect your needs for the
entire project. And thereafter, determine how much
financial resources is still needed.
 Identify Potential Roadblocks and Alternative Solutions
– Determining the potential roadblocks early and
finding solutions ahead of time is essential. This may be
the possible roadblocks:
 Resources > Schedules
 Team
 Re- assess Feasibility Study Results – this phase, you
must review your finding and make sure they are
accurate to the best of your available research and
knowledge. Check your numbers and make sure your
financial assessment is complete.

48
  Come To A Final Decision – Determine whether the
project is feasible and practical. Consider if it will be
successful. Does the potential ROI justify the expense,
time , and use of resources? Are the potential
roadblocks insurmountable? Do any risks outweighs the
benefits.
WITH YOUR GATHERED ASSESSMENT, YOU CAN NOW DECIDE
INTO A YES OR NO DECISION AND SHARE YOUR FINDINGS
WITH YOUR TEAM.
Aside from the approaches to feasibility study listed above,
some projects also require other constraints to be analyzed:
 Internal Projects Constraints:
Technical, Technology, Budget, Resources etc.
 Internal Corporate Constraints:
Financial, Marketing, Export , etc.
 External Constraints:
Logistics, Environment, Laws , and Regulations, etc.

WHAT IS AN ACTION PLAN TEMPLATE?

An action plan template is a pre- structured document that
gives you a framework for crafting your new action plan.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
 Action plan templates are efficient in speeding up
strategic planning process.

51
  Action plan templates are consistent – it makes it easier
for the team members to interpret and understand the
plan because they are familiar with the format. The result
is an organized, professional appearance.
 Action plan templates aid in effective planning – by
offering pre defined categories and columns, reducing the
chance of human error or omitting information from an
action plan.
 Action plan templates helps in tracking action plan easy.
