Superb Entrep classes at GSB

Every generation needs a revolution - an entrepreneurial revolution

This is a self praise.  No one has praised the hard work this post did at a GSB (probably contributed to high enrollment then).  Had courses in Cebu, Subic, Clark and the main campus in Makati.  This post taught for a decade plus

There was a lot of work for the students:

Topics subjects covered:

     1.  Self improvement:   speeches, self affirmation

     2.   Opportunties - scanning

     3.  Innovation

     4.  Business operations:   accounting, finance, marketing

     5.  Leadership

Individual:

    1.  Book report, videos on self affirmation

    2.  Making a 2 minute speech in class

    3.  Electronic assignments and submission

    4.  Preparing and submitting business plan

    5.  Serependity walk -  listing as many as possible business opportunities for an assigned area

Group:

    1.  Innovation (dry cooking)

    2.  Inviting an entrepreneur in class to tell stories about themselves to inspire tudents

    3.  Group report on a resto or food stall at Mercato or Makati Av.

When the management of the school decided to have grades submitted on time (that meant no time to submit a business plan) this post quit teaching.  This post believed that preparing a business plan is an essential gtaduation skill for an Entrep graduate

This class on three  occasions sponsored  talks that involved the whole GSB:    that of Dr. Belo, the head of BCDA on social entrepreneurship, and a famous motivator.   This was an entrep class project, not even that of the Management Department or the GSB

Thankfully the GSB sent me and several others to Bangkok and Seoul to advance my knowledge on the subject matter.  We attended lectures and workshop by Stanford University and Denver Colorado U.  

If this will be revived, I may teach again.

Why am I using cooking for Creativity Exercises in Entrepreneurship

#cooking, #creativity, #entrepreneurship

From LInked on by Andrew Zolli

Well Filipino love to cook.  There are male students who actually love/know how to cook.

It is fun to eat what you have prepared.  At H de la Costa the canteen does not have much to sell and it is a welcome thing to have food prepared.

The iron chef shows and many best chef contest are everywhere and hence many students would be familiar on what to do.  This is essentially a learning to do thing

It is also very easy to be creative with food preparation.  it is ideal to have a 3 d printer or Fab Labs but the school can not afford.  Beside this subject is just an elective, but would have a great impact on the psyche of the MBA graduate.
