Inspiration for Tiendesitas at Ortigas Property

Tiendensitas is a collection of small stores started by Chief Rex Drilon of Ortigas Company Limited Partnership in 2005.  It occupies some 3 hectare of the 18.5 hectare of prime property reclaimed by Ortigas from the Rizal Provincial Govt which failed to develop the donated property.  It is along C5  and has parking for 300 vehicles.

It is Maranao and bahay kubo inspired which served as anchor development for the 18.5 ha property.  Call center buildings, a church, Motorcity, hypermart and other prime tenants occupied most of the property.  It used to be a driving range. (not much value added)

It is patterned from Chatuchak of Thailand

Everything Mobile including vegies and fruits



Mobile business does not refer to communications alone.  It refers to mobile vendors and everything that is delivered to your doorstep.

One such thing is mobile vegie vendor.  You do not have to go to the store or market.  These mobile vendors stop at your doorstep.  They may even sell to you on credit

What are the purposes of the Special Reports?

The Special Reports are worth 10 points in our grading system.  The student makes the report in the class and I ask for comments, discussion.  Then they upload this at Slideshare for sharing with the class primarily.  The other students do not have to take notes and later on they will remember, in the Slideshare archive, what we did in class.  Lasting memories, eh.

1.  The SR is any of the following general classification:   self mastery, mastery of the environment/opportunity, and mastery of the enterprise.  This goes back to our debate on the first day.

2. The SR trains the student to be special (unique, differentiated, noticed), as with the inspirational video.  Every entrepreneur must have a compelling very noticeable, differentiated (not with diprensiya!) business to survive, flourish in the marketplace.

3.  At least the student must have remembered one thing in this entrep class - his special report, permanently archived at Slideshare.

4.  Posting at slideshare publicize the student.  Slideshare presentations are viral and places the students name and the topic at the top of Google Page Search.  Slideshare is owned by Linked In, a search engine for professionals.  It makes you visible to head hunters, recruiters, and other senior executives.  You will not be unemployed for a long time

So what are the following special reports all about?  self mastery, mastery of the opportunity, or the enterprise  (still about nature, nurture, and swerti)?

      1.  John Gokongwei?

      2.  Business and the Bible

      3.  Blue Ocean Strategy

      4.  Sun Tzu  (this is tricky)

      5. Confucianism
