University of Iloilo, February 1, 2014
AM Actitivies:
I just learned early this morning for the the Chinese New Year, City Kim Chu was the guest for for the parade and program. I learned too that the team of Chevrolet Execs who were in town to inaugurate the new Iloilo showroom in Jaro Iloilo were in the place of cousin of Terence, and the lady whom I engaged in a conversation about the 4x4 was an Executive Director of Chevrolet Philippines, Ms. Seline Yu.
Our AM activities consisted of only 2 activities: SR by Christian on Sun Tzu. and SR by Terence on Purple Cow by Seith Godin. Since there was a lot of things to be emphasized on this subject, I had to make a lot of comments and annotation on the report. Seith Godin supports the idea that the business concept has to be unique, differentiated, enchanting. Sun Tzu which is and was a required reading before in MBA at AGSB, needed a lot of explaining in view of generic strategies being taught in Strama. Sun Tzu treastise would be more comprehensive.
Business Plan
Then I lectured on Business Plan preparation which is 25% of the total semestral grade. I went through the powerpoint on Slideshare, and went through each of the element one by one. I related this to the Spentrep grades I gave last semester, and what they missed, their weaknesses, and why they got low grades.
