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.
