Review on Financial Management at Sentrep last February 26, 2013
Room 402 APS, H de la Costa Campus February 26, 2013
Our schedule last night included: SR, Case Analysis of Red Crab, and Review of Financial Management. We were able to do the SR: "Go Negosyo " by Athens Cruz and "Creativity" by Jaypee Eugenio.
Special reports
Go Negosyo, of which ProfJorge is a part of, is not involved in financing but is involved in changing mindset and or creating entrepreneurial mindset among Filipinos. Take note that our FDI is practically nil; yet Philippines is a hotbed of economic growth. Why - because many locals are taking risks; many are betting with their own money to start their projects/businesses. And this is entrepreneurship in action. The Negosyo efforts paid off, in a way. The 7.1% economic growth, the PHL as no 6 in the world's fastest growing economy is a dividend, a pay off.
The creativity report mentioned so many books on creativity and many relevant information from Edward de Bono to Einstein, George Bernard Shaw, etc. and many contemporary businesmen and creative people: Steve Jobs among them. (Be crazy; make a dent in the universe.) Ideas and application of the idea are essential parts of creativity (thus those who fail to apply fail to get their NU 12 posted.
Financial Management
I mentioned some truism on financial management:
l. " The numbers will set you free" - Harold Geneen
2. Cash is king.
3. "You can make a lot of mistakes, and running out of cash is not one of them."
4. The determination of the bottom line isnt accurate. The company policy on recognition of income and expenses can vary the outcome. Some company comptrollers are sometimes cooks or doctors.
5. The concepts: cash flow statement, balance sheet, income statement, funds flow were discussed in a whiteboard infographic. A template shall be sent the students to study and apply.

What pisses you off at the school list getting longer and unacted upon
One of the NU 12 topics required of the Entrep students is what pisses them off: at the mall, at the neighborhood, office. Creativity is driven when there is a problem, or adversity. After all, a new product is a new solution to a problem.
Among those that are reported are those that piss them off the school. I ask the student to disguise their names so as not to offend anyone. They are graded accordingly but the list gets longer and the inaction remains. The posts/publications are not read. This means this is just an academic exercise and good management is just words at MBA.
I brought the complaints to those who can act on them and to no avail. The cap ex, structural problem is apparently being controlled by those who do not see/or aware of the problem. So much for creativity and change lessons

Our 3rd session (actual 2nd) for MBA Sentrep - not the typical MBA class
We opened the class with you tubes rendition of Tanging Yaman.
We did the following:
l. Lecture on introduction to entrepreneurship (from this blog and slideshare link) What were emphasized: creating something new, innovation, new products, it is magic (from Walt Disney - Larry Farrel. It is creating something from practicality nothing.
2. At the mention of creating products, we did a re invention/redesign of the school id on a paired discussion. The mock up and the new id concept will be presented by next Tuesday, December l8. (Athens proposed a mini Christmas party)
3. Then we did a mind mapping of three concepts: entrepreneurship, innovation, creativity. For most, it is their first encounter of mind maps.
4. The last part was the application of 3R from green innovation: reuse, recycle, reduce. How to create new product/or product from the waste/trash at 4f of AGSB Salcedo. And they were able in 45 minutes able to come up with new notable products. The product prototypes were the actualization of mind maps.
We said entrepreneurship is not a spectators sports; it is about taking action and creating new products/services. And we did just that.
