Entrepreneurship means achieving objectives with resources that the entrepreneur has no control of?

Entrepreneuralism

Makati City    |  February 2013

I discussed the definition of a Harvard Professor of entrepreneurship "achieving something with resources that the entrepreneurs has no control of" in both the MBAH and Standard Entrep class.

On one hand, this looks very positive.  It speaks of the resourcefulness and the passion of the entrepreneur to have his goal/dream become a reality, even though he does not have the money or other key resources.  This is very unlike a corporate man who has to have budget/lots of cash, and large staff (Corporate men do it with large staff;  entrepreneurs with big interest....!Green eh?)

This reminds us the of the mavericks of Skunkworks of Lockheed who made great planes from parts of other planes not being used (literally from junk of other divisions)

On the other hand we are reminded of the Pirates of the Silicon valley:  having an MS DOS that one does not have, inventing a Windows program from  GUI invented by Apple.  We are reminded of the alpha and beta testing being done at the same time (shortcuts of some entrepreneurs that allow them to speed of product launch) Or the smoke and mirrors strategy of some of the great hardware vendors -  they announce new product that has not been invented or done yet.

Will you do the same given the opportunity?

Is this morally right?  Is it allowed at Ethics subject?

Resourcefulness and entrepreneurship go hand in hand

                                    Nelle's silverware was borrowed by Joseph and co

Joseph admitted, (and his group was observed to be such) that his group was very resourceful:

l.  He borrowed an oven toaster from the Cafeteria canteen (at the second floor) to bake their pizza which was very tasty;

2.  The group borrowed kitchenware from Nelles group;  in turn they asked for cheese from Joseph's group;

3.  They asked for parsley from Nelles group

The JenLo group went down to the cafeteria to have some of their ingredients baked;   they brought some of the fruit salad already prepared.

Alvin said that they did not have a menu in mind when they came:   they observed what others were doing.

In the pitch portion, I noted the groups excelled in:

l.  Branding

2. Making outlandish stories about their creation  (about singapore esplanade cum mango.....)

                                Very bad for my blood sugar

                                       Hmm it is good tasting;  Jenlo likes what she prepared

                               Preparing the strawberry org...

                                   The Mango Singapore esplanade

                                    Joseph's group making the pitch

                                 Nelle, with the cook, Evan who was a UAAP MVP

                                 Arlo, Jenlo and Cam making their pitch for their delicious dish

                                               Joseph's group,  their pizza tastes great

                                    Sweet and delicious,  the ham treat tastes great

                            The red orgasmic treat (will make you wet?) and paella con chili

Thank you guys for your enthusiasm and cooperation.  Congratulations for great job.  Bravo zulu

N.B.  We are still awaiting the judging by Ms. Athens Cruz.  She must be having a hard time deciding. I hope she can decide soon
