ESSAY. Answer the following questions.

1. In your own words, give an example of each domain of Entrepreneurship and

explain how it affects entrepreneurs.
Finance - Banks (Metrobank). Since financial knowledge is needed in busin
ess in order for it to be successful, people and tools or machineries can hel
p the entrepreneurs big time. Just like the people in the bank, they provide f
inancial knowledge to the entrepreneurs before, during and after their busin
ess launch.

Culture - law. Cultural domain is the environment where the attributes, mind
sets and attitudes of entrepreneurs are developed. Law is one of the examp
les since in law, there are specific republic acts that are applied for busines
s and it can help develop the attitude of the entrepreneur on how he manag
e his business and on how he will treat his employees and customers.

Supports - amazon.com. Support domain is the one who provides informati

on, answer questions by the customers, in short provides a customer supp
ort. An example to that is the amazon.com customer support, they answer c
ustomer queries efficiently.

Human Capital - Communication Skills. This includes skilled and unskilled

workers. In human capital domain, talent is the requested most than the tra
ditional employment. Communication skills is a talent and is much needed i
n a business. Good communication skills can bring more capital and custo
mer in a business.

Markets - geographical. Market domain is targeting and meeting the particul

ar business and customer need in a marketplace. For example is the geogra
phical domain, from the word geography which means the climate and natu
ral resources of the land. Will your business suit the location on where you
plan to build your business? Does the people in that area will buy your pro
duct?
2. After learning the advantages, disadvantages, similarities and differences of a
n Entrepreneur and Intrapreneur? Which one would you rather be? Why?
- I would rather choose Entrepreneur over the latter. I am a person who valu
es my freedom so much and being an entrepreneur suits it. I prefer entrepre
neur better than intrapreneur. I am a kind of person that wants to be respon
sible for anything I do. For example, if I fail my entrepreneurial business, I w
ould take the responsibility for it. I don’t want to blame other person and I d
on’t want to be blame by other person. I always base my choice with my atti
tude and personality since I will be the main character in my decisions and
choices.
