_____________________________________________________________________________________
Welcome to Zamboanga City State Polytechnic College, the premier higher education
institution in Zamboanga Peninsula, one of the Centers of Development in Teacher
Education Institutions in the country and an ISO accredited institution as recognized by
the Commission on Higher Education. It is our pride and honor, that you choose ZCSPC
as your school of choice.
With the current situation under a NEW NORMAL condition due to COVID19 Pandemic,
our school is now trying to find ways and means to provide accessible and quality
tertiary education. It is for this reason that the administration has decided to offer
flexible learning education including the Flipped Learning modality through the school’s
S
portal as the Learning Management System. In as much as we limit that actual and
physical face-to-face mode of delivery, each college has decided to come up with
RE
printed module to cater those students who cannot avail online learning modalities.
This module has been prepared to guide you in your learning journey with the use of the
Guided and Self-directed learning activities prescribed to finish your course. Each
module includes reading materials that have been chosen to help you understand the
ideas and concepts introduced by the module.
CA
For this semester, your course which is Entrepreneurial Mind (Entrep 1), under the BS
Industrial Technology program, focuses on the basic knowledge of entrepreneurship
that will guide and enable you to become successful entrepreneurs. You will be
introduced to the concepts of entrepreneurial mind that will develop your enterprising
skills – such as: identifying and assessing opportunities, solving problems creatively,
communicating effectively, and impacting your community in conjunction to your
C
comprehension and apply the concepts that you have learned from this module. After
accomplishing all modules, you are expected to do the following:
1. Identify key characteristics of the entrepreneurial mind which include skills, values,
behaviors, and enterprising contexts.

The changing times and the current realities and challenges compel an institution to
innovate to attain excellence and to stay relevant in the delivery of educational services.
For ZCSPC to attain what it envisions “to become”, that is, to become the leading provider
SP
of globally competitive human resources, it has to cope with the demands of time. One
evidence of this is the institution’s move to address the delivery of educational services
with the so called “new normal” caused by the Covid19 pandemic through the design of its
own Learning Management System. This is a proof that ZCSPC is also true to its mission,
that is, to provide effective and efficient services through advance technological studies
ZC
Key concepts:
The following are the key concepts found in the ZCSPC Vision and Mission:
1. Leading provider – this phrase tells us that ZCSPC envisions itself to be the leader
among the providers of globally competitive human resources.
2. Globally competitive – is to have the competence in terms of skills, that sets you
ahead of the others not only in your own community but in an international context.

The Syllabus is your road-map and your contract in this course. It is your road-map
because it contains information about the course overview, course topics and course
schedule, requirements, and grading system. It will also guide you on what is expected
from you and the policies that you need to follow and abide. On the other hand, it is your
contract because it will serve as an agreement between you and your teacher. Hence, after
going through your syllabus you have to sign the student's acknowledgement portion as a
sign of your pledge of commitment and loyalty to ZCSPC's policies and values and to the
course.
DIRECTIONS:
1. Read the Course Syllabus. You may access it from your e-class portal; download it
from your email, or from the Group Chat in messenger.

blocks of the economy. These factors of production are categorized into four, namely:
land, labor, capital, and entrepreneurship. Among the four factors of production,

Charles Swab, Bill Gates, Walt Disney, and Andrew Carnegie are just a few names listed in
The 10 Greatest Entrepreneurs.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Below is an article on The 10 Greatest Entrepreneurs who are examples of starting small
but are able to turn their ventures into a business empire.
As you go through all the names in the list, you must be asking yourself what does it takes
to become an entrepreneur like them, and, further wonder, whether every person
possesses that ability to become one. Going over the list, it is also worth noticing their
significant contribution to society.
S
times, the vast majority of small businesses fail. In this article, we'll look at
ten entrepreneurs who not only succeeded but built vast business empires.
RE
KEY TAKEAWAYS
Here are the ten greatest entrepreneurs who built business empires, like John D.
Rockefeller of Standard Oil and steel-magnate Andrew Carnegie.
CA
Thomas Edison founded General Electric (GE), while Henry Ford revolutionized
manufacturing bringing cars to the masses.
Sam Walton started Walmart and modernized distribution, while Walt Disney
created the largest media company on earth.
Bill Gates of Microsoft and Steve Jobs of Apple also made the list, among others.
C
John D. Rockefeller
John D. Rockefeller was the richest man in history by most measures.
He made his fortune by squeezing out efficiencies
SP
and devoted the rest of his life to philanthropy. More than 80 years after his death,
Rockefeller remains one of the great figures of Wall Street.
Andrew Carnegie
Andrew Carnegie loved efficiency. From his start in steel, Carnegie's
mills were always on the leading edge of technology. Carnegie
combined his superior processes with an excellent sense of timing,
snapping up steel assets in every market downturn. Like Rockefeller,
Carnegie spent his golden years giving away the fortune he spent most
of his life building (though not as well-remembered as some of his
contemporaries, Andrew Carnegie's legacy is strong and moralistic).
Thomas Edison
There is no doubt that Edison was brilliant, but it's his business sense, not his talent as an
inventor, that clearly shows his intelligence. Edison took innovation and made it the
process now known as research and development. He sold his services to many other
companies before striking out on his own to create most of the electrical power
infrastructure of the United States. While Edison is a founder of General Electric (GE),
15 | P a g e
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Henry Ford
Henry Ford did not invent the automobile. He was one of a group
working on motorcars and, arguably, not even the best of them.
However, these competitors were selling their cars for a price that
made the car a luxury of the rich. Ford put America–not just the
rich–on wheels, and unleashed the power of mass production. His
Ford Model T was the first car to cater to most Americans. Ford's
progressive labor policies and his constant drive to make each car
better, faster, and cheaper made certain that his workers and everyday
Americans would think Ford (F) when they shopped for a car.
S
Charles Merrill
Charles E. Merrill brought high finance to the middle class. After the
1929 crash, the general public had sworn off stocks and anything
RE
more financial than a savings account. Merrill changed that by using
a supermarket approach by sacrificing high commissions to serve
more people, making up his money on the larger volume. Merrill
worked hard to "bring Wall Street to Main Street," educating his
clients through free classes, publishing rules of conduct for his firm,
and always looking out for the interests of his customers first.
CA
Sam Walton
Sam Walton picked a market no one wanted and then instituted a
distribution system no one had tried in retail. By building warehouses
between several of his Wal-Mart (WMT) stores, Walton was able to
save on shipping and deliver goods to busy stores much faster. Add a
state-of-the-art inventory control system, and Walton was lowering his
C
Charles Schwab
Charles Schwab, usually known as "Chuck," took Merrill's love of the little guy and belief in
ZC
volume over price into the internet age. When May Day opened the doors for negotiated
fees–all broker trades had previously been the same price–Schwab was
among the first to offer a discount brokerage for the individual
investor.2 To do this, he trimmed the research staff, analysts, and
advisors, and excepted investors to empower themselves when making
an order. From a bare-bones base, Schwab then added services that
mattered to his customers, like 24-hour service and more branch
locations. Merrill brought the individual investors back to the market, but
Chuck Schwab made it cheap enough for them to stay.
Walt Disney
The 1920s found Walt Disney on the verge of creating a cultural
juggernaut. A gifted animator for an advertising company, Disney
began creating his own animated shorts in a studio garage. Disney
created a character inspired by the mice that roamed his office,
Mickey Mouse, and made him the hero of "Steamboat Willie" in 1928.
The commercial success of Mickey Mouse allowed Disney to create a
cartoon factory with teams of animators, musicians, and artists.
16 | P a g e
_____________________________________________________________________________________
Bill Gates
When people describe Bill Gates, they usually come up with "rich",
"competitive" and "smart." Of the three traits, it's Gates' competitive
nature that has carved out his fortune. Not only did he fight and win
the operating system (OS) and internet browser wars, but Gates stored
up the profits that came with the victories–and Microsoft's
dominance–to fund future fights and ventures. The Xbox is just one of
the many sideline businesses that the massive war chest has funded.
The fact is that Microsoft's cash and Gates' reluctance to pay it out is
S
a big part of what saw the company through hard times and funded
expansion in good times.
RE
Steve Jobs
Steve Jobs co-founded Apple (AAPL), one of the only tech
companies to offer a significant challenge to Microsoft's
dominance. In contrast to Gates' methodical expansion, Jobs'
influence on Apple was one of creative bursts. Apple was a
CA
computer company when Jobs returned to it. Now, the iPod, the
iPhone, and the iPad are the engines of growth that have pushed
Apple past the once unassailable Microsoft. In 2010, Apple
surpassed Microsoft's market cap for the first time. As of 2019, there are more than 500
million Apple customers worldwide.
These ten entrepreneurs succeeded by giving the customer something better, faster, and
cheaper than their nearest competitors. No doubt, some like Rockefeller will always be on
SP
these lists, but there is plenty of room for the right person to find their place among the
entrepreneur's pantheon.

(QR Code - Why Entrepreneurs Are Important for the Economy)
Video Transcript:
Why are entrepreneurs important for the Economy? For starters, entrepreneurs create new
CA
business; they invent goods and services resulting in employment which then results in
more and more development. For example a few IT companies found in the Indian IT
industry in the 1990s businesses and associated industries then flourished. Entrepreneurs
also add to national income. Existing businesses may remain confined to their markets and
hit a glass ceiling when it comes to go deeper, but new products or technologies create
new markets and new wealth and increase employment and higher earnings contribute to a
nation's taxes and spending. Further, entrepreneurs create social change. They break
tradition with unique inventions that reduce dependence on obsolete systems.
C
Smartphones and their apps, for example, have revolutionized work and play across the
globe. Finally, entrepreneurs can invest in community projects and help charities and other
good causes; further developing ventures beyond their own. Bill Gates, for example, used
SP
According to Medina (2014, p.2), as long as all the requirements in a capitalist economy
are in place, the entrepreneur can assume his assigned role in the development of the
ZC
economy. A review of the contributions of entrepreneurs will reveal that no business, big or
small, started without the hand of the entrepreneur. Even if many of these businesses
failed to survive, still a sizable number developed and proceeded to make the capitalist
economy a viable concern. This is made possible because the surviving enterprises are
responsible for providing the following:

To overcome boredom, one of the things that people do during the imposed quarantine
SP
period is movie marathon. One popular internet site where people go is Netflix. The site
offers a variety of movie genre. What is amazing, movies that did not do well in cinemas
years back, ranked Top 1 in the list on Netflix. One classic example is the movie “Through
Night and Day” starred by Alessandra de Rossi and Paulo Contis. In 2018, when the movie
opened in cinemas, it was pulled out three days after it was shown because nobody was
ZC
watching (Panaligan, 2020). In other words, the movie was a flop! Amazingly though,
through NETFLIX, it ranked number #1, and it became a trending movie in the entire
Philippines.
Looking at the movie, there were no changes made about the movie, nor was it updated
neither was it promoted again to the public. In fact, it was not even re-launched. However,
the producers or those who are handling the movie changed the approach used in
marketing the movie; not to mention the patience in waiting for the right timing.

RE
Innovation and the Entrepreneur
According to Kuratko and Hodgetts (2007, p.155), there are three things that must be
remembered in the innovation process:
1. Most innovations are the result of a conscious and purposeful search for new
ZC
2. Most successful innovations are simple and focused. The product is clear, specific,
and carefully designed. As a result, new customers and new markets are created.
An example to this is the camera on cell phones. These cameras are easy and
convenient to use, yet they are highly sophisticated and quite appealing to people
who are into photography.
3. Innovation involves more work than genius. Thomas Edison had put it accurately:
“1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”.

1. Gatekeepers – these people collect and channel information about changes in the
technical environment. They stay current with events and ideas through personal
contacts, professional meetings, and the news media. When gatekeepers find
relevant information, they send it to the appropriate person or unit for follow-up.
C
2. Idea Generators – this role involves analysis of information about new technologies,
SP
products, or procedures in order to yield new idea for the company. The fresh idea
may be an innovative solution to an existing problem in product or business
development or the identification of a new marketplace opportunity.
ZC
3. Champions – champions advocate and push for the new idea. This role involves
obtaining and applying the resources and staff to demonstrate the idea’s feasibility.
Champions are concerned about results, not risk, and do not spend time studying
the consequences of failure. Their mission is to remove obstacles.
5. Coaches – this function addresses the technical and interpersonal aspects of the
work in the innovation process. Coaches provide technical training related to new
developments, and help people work together to return an idea into a tangible result.

It is observed that during this pandemic, lots of businesses were greatly affected
because they have to stop operating. The construction industry is just one of those that
suffered. This resulted to income loss due to decrease in sales and as a result loss of
jobs among construction workers. The Contractors Guild and the Association of
Architects and Draftsmen in Zamboanga City, will be conducting a virtual meeting to
seek ideas on how to keep the construction industry relevant during this pandemic. As a
graduate of Architectural Drafting, and a young entrepreneur, you were chosen by your
fellow draftsmen to represent your group. Your task is to come up with an idea for an
alternative business that will still make use of your drafting skills. The idea will be
presented to the contractors, architects and your fellow draftsmen during the virtual
