What is Entrepreneurship?
Entrepreneurship is considered to be vital component in the process of economic growth and
development for various reasons. It is a mechanism by which society converts technological information
into products and services.
The modern entrepreneurship definition is also about transforming the world by solving big
problems. Like initiating social change, creating an innovative product or presenting a new life-changing
solution.
What is an Entrepreneur?
Are the creators and builders of new ventures that not only fulfill their own dreams, bring them huge
fortune but also make a strong impact on the society and improve the lives of people.
“An entrepreneur is not an innovation but an organization builder or one who has the skill to build an
organization and who must not be able to harness the new ideas of different innovators to the best of the
organization”. ~Essentials of Entrepreneurship (3G Elearning, 2016)
“Entrepreneur as one who always searches for change, responds to it and exploits it as an opportunity.
Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an
opportunity for a different business or service”.~ Peter F. Drucker
A simple definition of leadership is that leadership is the art of motivating a group of people to act towards
achieving a common goal.
Entrepreneurial leadership as "organizing a group of people to achieve a common goal using proactive
entrepreneurial behavior by optimising risk, innovating to take advantage of opportunities, taking personal
responsibility and managing change within a dynamic environment for the benefit of an organization“
~Roebuck, Chris (2011-12-22)
Entrepreneurial leadership is effectively using the skills associated with successful individual
entrepreneurs and applying those within the environment of a larger organisation. This especially means
within an organisation where those skills have been lost and replaced with a "corporate" mindset that
focuses on process, systems and risk minimisation rather than on entrepreneurial behaviour. ~Roebuck,
Chris (2011-12-22)

business delivering sand and gravel for construction companies in Las Piñas.
Villar took out a seven-year loan from a rural bank offering low interest rates. From the loan, he
kick-started building and selling homes at his first project, Camella Homes Phase 1 and 2 in Las
Piñas, initially with 160 units and would have resulted to be the country's largest home building
company, with an emphasis on low-priced mass housing.
The number of homes built by Villar's companies totaled to over 200,000 units.
In 1984, he founded Golden Haven Memorial Park, a chain of cemeteries in the Philippines,
started with its first branch in Las Pinas and expanded in Cebu, Cagayan De Oro, Zamboanga,
Bulacan, and Iloilo. It will also expanded into the businesses of memorial chapel, crematorium
and columbariumIn 2015, the MB Villar Group formed another company, Vitacare Healthgroup,
Inc., a group that will build chain of hospitals nationwide. Its first project Vitacare Unimed Hospital
& Medical Center (in partnership with Unimed) will be located in Vista City, Las Pinas will be fully

Manny Villar also ventured into coffee shop business, Coffee Project (formerly The Coffee
Project) which has now 31 stores across the country.

hardware stores. My dream then was to own and operate a small grocery store,” Tan says
The young Andrew studied accounting and graduated with honors at the University of the East,
often preferring to walk to school instead of riding public jeepneys in order to save money.
Engineer Conrado Acedillo, himself a self-made man in the air-conditioning business, recalls that
he and the younger Tan used to be employees of Taipan Leonardo Ty of Union Hitachi,
Ajinomoto and other businesses. He remembers Andrew Tan as one of the most hardworking
and conscientious employees of the late Leonardo Ty.
One of the amazing accomplishments of the self-made businessman is his unexpected success
in making his homegrown Emperador Brandy into the world’s largest-selling brandy in terms of
total number of bottles sold in 2006.
