This study determines the different difficulties encountered by Grade 12 Accountancy,

Business and Management (ABM) students of Mabini Colleges Inc.. It answered the following

questions: 1) What is the profile of respondents in terms of: a) Type of product, b)

Capitalization? 2) What are the difficulties they encountered during implementation in terms of
financial, production, marketing and human resources? 3) Is there a significant difference

between the difficulties encountered by the ABM students based on the profile of the

respondents? 4) What tips can be proposed to counter the possible different difficulties during

their business plan implementation?

This study used a descriptive-comparative research design and utilized the survey

questionnaire as research instrument to gathered the data of this study. This study also unutilized

frequency count, percentage, weighted mean and Anova Test as statistical tools to analyze and

interpret the results.

According to the investigation's findings, the result of the study shows that the profile of

respondents in terms of the type of product indicates that the majority of the students

choose convenient products for their small business. However, according to the findings,

students' choice of product has nothing to do with the difficulties they encountered during the

implementation of their businesses. Moreover, the findings of the study's for profile of

respondents in terms of capitalization reveals that half of the grade 12 ABM students have one

thousand pesos as their starting capital for their business. The majority of the groups with the

lowest starting capital used convenient products for their businesses. It demonstrates that selling

convenient products require less capital than selling other types of products. While the majority

of the groups that spent the most money used shopping products as their business. Thus, the

findings reveal that capitalization is associated with the difficulties encountered by grade 12

ABM students during implementation. That means lower capital equates to a lower risk of facing

difficulties, because high capital is associated with increases in financing and high risk that

causing difficulties. Furthermore, in order to provide solutions to the challenges that grade 12

ABM students face during the implementation of their business plans, the researchers decided to
create a guide booklet for business plan implementation that can be used as a teaching tool by

entrepreneurship teachers in Mabini Colleges to discuss the potential challenges they may face

during implementation. This research output can also be used as a guide for students as they

begin to implement their findings.

This study was conducted to know the various difficulties that Grade 12 Accountancy,

Business and Management (ABM) Students encounter during their business plan

implementation. Also, to know the importance of having enough knowledge of these difficulties

for future purposes. And to know these various difficulties according to their fields such as in

financial, marketing, production and human resources. Lastly, this study recommends on how to

avoid or handle those difficulties. Also, It recommends those future researchers to be more

knowledgeable enough to discuss their chosen topic for them to know what information and data

they should gather. And also, to have enough courage, patient and perseverance in conducting a

study and to hope and pray that the results will be in favor in you.

CHAPTER 1

The Problem

Introduction
According to the literature and regional studies on innovation, evaluating the innovation

of products and services becomes a relevant activity in organizations to develop competitive

advantages and achieve economic success (Kong et. al, 2019). The definition of innovation

emphasizes the close connection between innovation and invention, which are not similar.

Innovations involve the development of invention, the institutionalization of new production

methods, as well as the introduction of new products to the market have all been examples of

innovation.

Business innovation is a significant tool that marketing strategists utilize to gain

customers and markets through the production of sustainable competitive advantage, as it leads

to a process of change in organizations and their market offerings. Since business innovations

have something to do with people's needs and wants in the marketplace, it is also implemented as

a method for upgrading a product or service so that it remains relevant and will not get left

behind.

However, business innovation can mean a single major breakthrough – e.g., a completely

new product or service. Therefore, it can also be a series of minor incremental changes. Yet,

running a business innovation can result in a variety of failures (Nieminen, 2021). That is why

successful innovation should be part of a business plan, where one could nurture an innovative

culture and create room for creative thinking that leads an individual to be a good entrepreneur.

The students are now exposed to entrepreneurship. Students are already engaged in

different learning systems that teach them about entrepreneurship. Taking an entrepreneurial

education subject at Senior High School requires Grade 12 Accountancy, Business and

Management (ABM) students to create their own business plan for their proposed product or

service innovation. This entrepreneurship subject gives the students the opportunity to start their
own business while they are still studying and at the same time to perceive their skills to be an

entrepreneur.

Moreover, Grade 12 ABM students are required to put their intended business plan into

action. Business planning is an important part of establishing any type of business. In today's

environment, a business plan is an entrepreneur's most crucial business document. Without a

convincing business plan, no one will seriously consider your business idea. However, starting a

business innovation is not easy, many students experience difficulties during their product or

service implementation.

Entrepreneurship education is necessary for easing employment pressure, social

transformation, and the promotion of college students (Kong et. al, 2019). Early exposure to

entrepreneurship has a huge impact on young students that leads some of them to be capable of

running their own established businesses.

Therefore, the researchers conduct this study to discover the different difficulties

encountered by the ABM students during the implementation of their product and service

innovations. It also aims to discover what strategies they can use to avoid product and service

failures, and how these challenges affect the outcome of their proposed innovation. 

Statement of the Problem

  This study aims to discover the difficulties encountered by Grade 12 Accountancy,

Business, and Management (ABM) students of Mabini Colleges Inc. during the business plan

implementation of their product or service innovation.  

Specifically, it will seek answers to the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:


a. Type of product offered: and

b. Capitalization?

2. What are the difficulties they encountered during implementation in terms of financial,

production, marketing, and human resources?

3. Is there a significant difference between the difficulties encountered by the ABM students

based on the profile of the respondents?

4. What strategies can be proposed to improve their product and service implementation

strategies?

Hypothesis

There is no significant difference between the difficulties encountered by the

Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) students and their product and service

offerings.

Scope and Delimitation

This study aims to determine the different difficulties encountered by Accountancy,

Business, and Management (ABM) students in terms of financial, production, marketing, and

human resources. This study will also look for the strategies that may be used to subdue the

challenges that affect the outcomes of their product and service innovation.

The study is done through google form survey questionnaires, library research and usage

of search engines on the internet. The researchers will try to reach a minimum of 100 students

from the batch of School Year 2020-2021 graduates of ABM strand as respondents of the

proposed study as a result of the online sample size calculator.


Significance of the Study

This study is conducted to aid and discover the different difficulties that G12

Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) students face during business plan

implementation. The findings of this study will benefit the following:

Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) Students. The main beneficiaries of

this study are the current and upcoming ABM students. This study will serve as a guide to the

ABM students to achieve their desired outcome of their proposed product and service innovation

without being bothered by different difficulties that they may encounter during implementation.

Students will also gain knowledge through this study about decision-making. 

Entrepreneurship Teachers. The next most beneficiary of this study are the

entrepreneurship subject teachers. This study will help the entrepreneurship teachers to identify

the main source or main factors that affects the outcomes of their students’ products and services

innovation after implementation. Through this study the entrepreneurship teachers will have an

overview and idea which part of the implementation process the ABM students struggled.

Researchers, themselves. This will also benefit the researchers for it serves as the

foundation of knowledge, considering that they are also currently taking up an ABM strand.

Also, to learn new strategies and solutions that can help them to improve their business plan

implementation strategies that they can use to avoid making the same mistakes repeatedly and

hence that makes their product and service innovation successful.

Entrepreneurs. Another beneficiary of this study are the entrepreneurs who currently

operate a   business and also the aspiring entrepreneurs that want to start a business. 

Through this research the entrepreneurs will be given insight and information


about the challenges and difficulties  they might encounter during  business  plan 

implementation.  The given information of this study will guide them to solve the problems and

assist them to be more prepared so that they will only encounter minor errors in their business. 

Future Researchers. Furthermore, this study may be used as reference data for the

future researchers in conducting their new research or other related findings. As well, it will also

serve as their cross-reference to obtain ideas and information, so it can be their guide to improve

and widen their knowledge. For them to be aware of the challenges and struggles that may hinder

them.

Definition of Terms

In order to have an easy and better understanding for the readers, the researchers define

the following terminologies according to how it is used in this research: 

Business Innovation. The introduction of creating something new in a business. It is

when an organization introduces new processes, services, or products to affect positive change in

their business. This can include improving existing methods or practices, or starting from

scratch. In this study, it refers to the innovated products and services of the ABM Students of

Mabini Colleges.

Business Plan. It is an essential written document that provides a description and

overview of your company's future. The plan should explain your business strategy and your key

goals to get from where you are now to where you want to be in the future. Same concept and

definition were used in this research.

Product. It is the most famous type of innovation, and can be defined in different ways.

Product is the development or improvement of products in a way that tries to solve problems for
consumers, customers and society. In this study, it refers to the different kinds of product that the

ABM Students implemented.

Service. It is a new knowledge or technologies that companies incorporate into their

service offerings, which results for being valuable for both customers and businesses. In this

study, it refers to the various service innovations implemented by ABM Students.

Innovation. It is the act of innovating; a change in custom. It can refer to something new,

such as an invention, or the practice of developing and introducing new things. In this study, it

refers to the changes applied to an existing product or service implemented by the ABM

Students.

Business Plan Implementation. It is the process of moving the business plan into

execution, an idea from concept to reality. A result of implementing something; a finished

product, system, or device. It is the execution of the business plan into an actual product and

service.

CHAPTER 2

Review of Related Literature and Studies

This chapter provides an overview of previous research on knowledge sharing and

intranets. It introduces the framework for the study that comprises the main focus of the research

described in this research.

Related Literature

Innovation is the actual application of ideas that result in a variety of new kinds of new

offerings, including products, services, processes, and business models, with the goal of

improving or disrupting existing uses or developing new ones Talin (2021)

The term "novation" first appears in legal literature in the 13th century as a term for

renewing a contract. As a result, "novation" denotes "new," as in a new contract version. It

accumulated negative connotations in the 16th-century religious context, thrown at anyone who

attempted to modify sacred scriptures. Innovators were imprisoned and even executed. The idea

of innovation became connected with science, the production of new machines, and products

during the Industrial Revolution. Innovators were raised as positive contributors as governments

began to promote research labs and patents as a source of economic benefit. The change had

been a horrible thing in the past, yet nowadays it is a positive thing. In 1939, prominent
economist Joseph Schumpeter, probably the creator of the concepts that led to what we now refer

to as "entrepreneurship," made a key distinction. He claimed that invention entailed the

development of something new (such as a new product), whereas innovation entailed the

adoption of that new thing Krippendorff (2017)

According to the article of Rao (2019) with the title “Service Innovation and Design”, the

term “service innovation” has been defined in different ways of ways. McDonald’s has made

major restaurant and menu improvements in recent years, which seem to be examples of offering

innovation. In other circumstances, service innovation is associated with new internal service

processes that will increase a company’s effectiveness and competitiveness.

Typically, new product development is viewed as a means of fixing problems in existing

products, filling gaps, and catching up to competitors. But there is a lot more to it. Giving the

customer a unique experience should be the goal of New Product Development. It should imply

breaking through the clutter and distinguishing your products from the competition. Customer

needs are constantly changing today, shortening product lifecycles. It is not a simple task to

develop a product. The rate of success varies between 45 and 62 percent Dhargalkar (2016).

The innovation strategy establishes the long-term objectives, methods, and scope of how

innovations (products, processes, or organizations) will be employed to gain a competitive

advantage. It is not an easy or quick undertaking to establish innovation in a corporation. From

market analysis to development and process improvement, the capacity to successfully

implement new ideas requires a wide range of talents and skills. An effective strategy is to

demonstrate how to create the business's uniqueness so that it stands out among rival businesses

on the market Borowski (2021).


Risk and its impact on innovation. (n.d.). States that throughout the whole innovation

process, every innovation is exposed to a significant amount of risk. The time component is

important since risk is proportional to the length of the innovation process/project. More risk

components may emerge and more things can go wrong as time passes between the idea, its

development, and the final launch.

In the article entitled “4 Reasons Why Innovations Fail” by Hengsberger. (n.d.) states

that a new product can fail on the market if it fails to provide actual value and therefore fails to

attract buyers. However, a new product may fail internally due to flaws in development,

implementation, and marketing. The idea may be excellent, but if the innovation process fails, it

will fade. On the other contrary, an innovation can be poor but can become a remarkable

innovation if it is developed and sold with maximum dedication and love.

Staff, G. (n.d.) discussed that entrepreneurship plays many important roles in a dynamic

economy, perhaps none more important than innovation, where new products and services are

introduced to customers. Ideally, innovative entrepreneurship can improve peoples’ quality of

life, but it can also serve other important functions such as testing if customers are willing to pay

for a new product or service (price discovery) or to “disrupt” an inefficient business model.

The article entitled “Problems with the Implementation of Industry 4.0 in Enterprises

from the SME Sector” by Ingaldi, (2019) stated that in a business, old equipment is primarily a

problem from a production and cost perspective. Old machines frequently break down, require

extensive restoration, are wasteful, and frequently cause staff incompatibilities, as well as being

dangerous to operate. This has an impact on the operation costs of the business, particularly the

cost of maintenance, resulting in high product pricing.


According to Harvard Business School, 90 percent of businesses fail to carry out their

strategic objectives efficiently. A lack of objectives for employees, improper resource allocation,

a lack of structure and leadership, and a lack of communication are all consequences of poorly

executed strategies. That is why executing it correctly is so important Dalum (2021).

Related Study

Product and service innovation is defined as the creation of new products and services,

modifications to existing products and services, or the replacement of one product or service

with another Elsevier (2018).

Kogabayev (2017) cited Urabe (1988) discuss that Innovation is hardly a one-time

phenomenon, but rather a prolonged and cumulative process involving a large number of

organizational decision-making processes, involving the production of new concepts to their

implementation. The perception of a new customers’ demands or a new method to create is

referred to as a fresh idea. It develops from a long-term process of knowledge gathering

combined with an ever-evolving entrepreneurial vision. The new idea is developed and marketed

into a new marketable product or a new process during the implementation process, resulting in

cost savings and greater productivity.

According to the study “Difficulties Faced by College Students in Innovation and

Entrepreneurship and Its Countermeasures” by Kong et. al (2019), a lot of college students going
into business with the advantages that come with becoming a college student, such as youth and

passion, but they will certainly encounter many difficulties along the process of establishing a

business. To begin with, college students' psychological preparedness may not entirely fulfil the

requirements of entrepreneurship. Although many college students aspire to be entrepreneurs,

only a small percentage of them succeed.

“Linking National Culture and Product Innovation Performance” (2016) revealed that

successful innovation management requires a deep grasp of the impact of culture on the design

and implementation of innovation strategies, as well as product innovation performance. The

goal of this work is to shed light on the amount and direction of culture’s impact on product

innovation performance using a mix of two research approaches: KJ analysis and formal survey.

The findings suggest that, while the current cultural structure has a negative impact on

performance, the magnitude of that impact can be reduced by implementing task-oriented

leadership practices.

The majority of people in the FMCG industry, especially in the food industry, agrees that

the failure rate of new product launches is far too high. They came to the conclusion that 76% of

the sales did not endure a year. What is more alarming is that 45% did not last the entire 26

weeks, based on their findings. According to an older survey, only 53.3% of new products in the

United States meet their financial targets. Nonetheless, in FMCG, most people would take a far

higher percentage, anywhere between 50% and 75%. Certain people appear to believe that these

failure levels represent a law of nature, although they are not. Instead, they serve as a sobering

reminder that most new product developers are investing a significant amount of time and money

into projects that should have exposed problems from the start or throughout the early phases of

development Dijksterhuis (2016).


In the study "Implementing New Business Model: What challenges Lie Ahead" (2018), it

examines the creation of numerous new business model innovations to address the question,

"What strategic choices do business executives make when deploying new business models?"

They discover that during the implementation of their business model innovation process,

Executive managers face four strategic tradeoffs, pertaining to two main opposing organizational

goals: the requirement for efficiency (to obtain economies of scales) and the need for exploration

(adapt concept in response to changing organizational priorities, markets, and technologies).

Each of the axis's extremes favors either exploratory (independence, discovery approach,

challenging status quo, flexible logic) or exploitative (dependency, planned approach, sustaining

status quo, fixed logic) techniques, each of which has its own set of (dis)advantages.

According to the “Theory of New Product Development and Its Applications” by Gurbuz

(2018) developing and innovating new products is a difficult task, especially for small and

medium-sized businesses, because the New Product Development process is filled with risks.

The product life cycle is shortening, putting more pressure on businesses to be the first to market

with new products. A greater vulnerability to risk is associated with fewer resources and

structural traits. According to a survey done in the United Kingdom, most SMEs find it difficult

to adopt a new product development process due to constraints such as a lack of well-defined

product requirements. The study found that the process was slowed down by a lack of

understanding of customer needs and a lack of knowledge of the product's technology and

market. Because small firms are severely constrained by limited human and financial resources,

the same assumption cannot be made for the success of developing new products in small firms

compared to large firms. Because of their low equity ratio, they are vulnerable to external

factors. SMEs have poor financial foundations and limited access to resources when compared to
larger businesses. This shows that when it comes to controlling NPD, SMEs are more easily

affected and exposed to risks.

Sopjani (2019), analyzes the entrepreneurship environment through specifically focusing

on startups and innovation infrastructure in Kosovo in the research study “Challenges and

Opportunities for Startup Innovation and Entrepreneurship as tools towards a knowledge-based

economy: The Case of Kosovo,” it investigated that there are 3 main chapters, each of which

addresses and analyzes different aspects of Kosovo’s innovation, startup, and business culture.

The first section, titled overview of literature, provides a critical review of current

entrepreneurship knowledge by including substantive discoveries as well as theoretical and

methodological contributions relevant to this topic. It defined and clarified the key concepts that

will be used or inferred throughout the project. The second section contains a mix of primary and

secondary data that is used to support the points and ideas presented in each section. They all

accentuate the importance of nurturing an entrepreneurship ecosystem as an economic

imperative to restructure the way of doing business in Kosovo in order to revolutionize and build

sustainable solutions for various sectors. From the findings, it can be concluded that although

there are numerous policies in place and objectives to be achieved by the government, such

concepts only exist on paper since they will never be executed. Due to a lack of monitoring

methods, even the small proportion of effective policies or any conducted activity for the benefit

of the startup is not recognized or examined. There are also other challenges with startups, such

as gender disparities, youth potential, level of education, lack of incentive and training programs,

access to capital, and political framework. The quantitative data collected from the survey

questions was used to discuss the last two in greater depth. It was determined that access to

financing is partially problematic, and that governmental actions are insufficient or ineffective
not work in favor of new businesses. Such a problem could be overcome by encouraging and

motivating people promoting a more active startup culture.

In the study entitled "Business Model Innovation for Sustainability: Towards a Unified

Perspective for Creation of Sustainable Business Models" conducted by Evan (2017), it stated in

the study that because there aren't enough case studies, it's difficult for businesses to figure out

how to innovate their business models, identify and design alternatives, then evaluate and choose

the best one. When considering business model innovations for sustainability, the complexity of

determining how to assess the impact of the sustainability innovations and understanding their

effects on the entire business network increases. The goal of the paper is to present a unified

perspective for SBM innovation that leads to improved organizational economic, environmental,

and social performance. The paper proposes a conceptual foundation for experimentation and

highlights the advantages of using simulation to design and evaluate business model innovation

alternatives.

Synthesis of the State-Of-The-Art

The study of Urabe (1988) that cited in the study of Kogabayev (2017) tack uiled that the

new customers perception of demands is a new strategy to generate a fresh idea that can use to

develop marketable product or new process during implementation.

The study “Linking National Culture and Product Innovation Performance” (2016)

proved that culture has a big impact regarding to a successful innovation and its design

implementation that affects product and service innovation performance. That is why innovators
should implement task-oriented leadership practices to reduce the negative impact of cultural

structure.

Dijksterhuis (2016) states in his study that majority of people in the FMCG and food

industry agrees that failure rate of new product launches is too far high. Some people concluded

that the result failures represent a law of nature although it is not. Rather, counsel's innovators to

invest enough time and funds in their project that initially shows up a problem during the start of

development.

The study “Implementing New Business Model: What challenges Lies Ahead” (2018)

answered the question “What strategic choices do business executives make when deploying new

business models?”. To answer that, during their innovation process they discover that there are

some strategic tradeoffs, these are: the requirement for efficiency, and the need for exploration.

According to the study of “Theory of New Product Development and Its Applications”

by Gurbuz (2018) states that developing and innovating new products is a difficult task,

especially for small and medium-sized businesses. A greater vulnerability to risk is associated

with fewer resources and structural traits. SMEs have poor financial foundations and limited

access to resources when compared to larger businesses.

The study of Elsevier (2018) mentioned that product and service innovation is the

creation of new product and services, or the replacement of one product or service with another.

According to the study “Difficulties Faced by College Students in Innovation and

Entrepreneurship and Its Countermeasures” by Kong et. al (2019), college students'

psychological preparedness may not entirely fulfil the requirements of being an entrepreneurship.

Although many college students aspire to become an entrepreneur, they will surely encounter
many difficulties along the process in establishing a business, therefore only a small percentage

succeed in becoming a business owner.

In the study of Sopjani (2019), it analyzes the entrepreneurship environment through

specifically focusing on startups and innovation infrastructure in Kosovo. It comes out that

access to financing is partially problematic, and that governmental actions are insufficient or

ineffective to work in favor of new businesses. But other problems could be overcome by

encouraging and motivating people in promoting a more active startup culture.

The study "Business Model Innovation for Sustainability: Towards a Unified Perspective

for Creation of Sustainable Business Models" by Evan (2017) concluded that there aren't enough

case studies, therefore it's difficult for businesses to figure out how to innovate, identify, then

evaluate their business models and choose the best one. The goal of the study is to present a mix

perspective of SBM innovation; therefore, the study proposes a conceptual foundation to

experiment and highlight the advantages of using different designs and evaluation for business

model.

Gap Bridge by the Study

Through a literature review, the researchers have already discovered the importance of

innovation and the difficulties that they may encounter during implementation. However, in the

previous literature studies, they haven’t mentioned any data about implementing innovation

success rate. They are unsure whether the product is marketable and will last for a long period of

time or whether it will last right after the submission of requirements in the entrepreneurship

subject. This research will also look for the; need and wants of the customers factors, demand

factor, and competitiveness of the product factor. And now, based on the researcher's evaluation
of related literature, the questionnaire survey that the researchers will conduct will act as the

bridge from our previous study to the latest study.

Theoretical Framework

The researchers use the theory of “Schumpeter’s Innovation Theory of Profit” by

Schumpeter to support this study. According to this theory innovation refers to any new strategy

that an entrepreneur implements in order to decrease overall production costs or increase

demands for its products. Moreover, entrepreneurs can make profit by introducing successful

innovations. In other words, the innovation theory of profit asserts that an entrepreneur's primary

function is to introduce innovations, and that profit is given in the form of a reward for their

efforts.

However, innovation can be divided into two categories: the first includes all operations

that reduce overall production costs, such as the introduction of a new method or technique of

production, the introduction of new equipment, new techniques of business development, and so

on. All operations that increase the demand for a product are included in the second category of

innovation. Launching new commodities or high-quality items, developing, or creating a new

market, discovering new raw material sources, introducing a new product variety or design, and

so on.

Products are introduced to the market to meet consumer wants that is always changing,

but consumer needs stay constant. A product, whether it is a real object or a service, should be

functional and add value to the customer's life. It should also be offered in a preferred manner by
the customer. The success of the newly produced product would be determined by the

effectiveness of the planning and implementation of the new product lunch.

Furthermore, if an entrepreneur's innovation is successful in decreasing the overall cost of

production or increasing demand for his product, he can gain a profit. Unfortunately, Profits are

often earned in a shorter period as competitors copy the innovation, causing the innovation to

lose its uniqueness. For example, the entrepreneur had a monopoly on the market because his

innovation was limited to himself, resulting in higher earnings. However, when others imitated

the idea, the profits began to decrease. If a law allows an entrepreneur to patent his innovation,

the entrepreneur can avoid other competitors imitating his idea so that he can earn higher profits

for longer period.

In connection to the study, Schumpeter’s Theory proves that innovation is not that easy to

implement and that an entrepreneurs will still face challenges and will undergo through

processes to achieve their desired goals for them. This theory provide knowledge about the

importance of innovation to fulfill the wants of consumers. In this theory, it plays a huge part in

the implementation to make it functional and for the business to survive in the market, which is

the theory of profit that focuses on the gains of the business.

This IV- DV framework model illustrates the overview and summary of ideas of this

study. It holds together the ideas comprising a broad concept.

The first part of this framework classifies the two innovation variables, which are the

product and service. This two variables is connected to the business plan followed by

implementation where the financial, production, marketing, and human resources variables are

combined to be linked into the different difficulties encountered during business plan

implementation by grade 12 Accountancy Business and Management variable. The last part is

consists of the quality outcome of the products or services that the students implemented after

they encountered the different difficulties during the whole process of their business plan

implementation.

CHAPTER 3

Research Design and Methodology

This chapter will discuss the methods that we used to gather data for the research

problems. The research methodology is organized into following sections; research design,

source of data, respondents of the study, research instrument, data gathering procedure, and the

statistical tools.

Research Design

In this study, the researchers will use a descriptive comparative research design using a

survey questionnaire. Descriptive research design is the method use to describes the

characteristics of the variables under a study McCombes (2020). While the comparative research

design is use to compare two groups of people in order to identify and analyze similarities and

differences between groups Richardson (2018). The descriptive method will use to identify the

type of innovation of the respondents, product, and service classification, as well as to identify

the level of difficultness experienced by 12 Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM)

students of batch S.Y. 2019-2020 during their implementation of business plan.

Source of Data

Primary and secondary data sources will be used in this study. The result from the

questionnaire prepared by the researchers conducted through survey will be the primary source

of data. On the contrary, the e-journals, articles, and websites that the researchers presented in

related literature and studies will serve as the second data source of this study.
Respondents of the Study

The researchers considered the total population of Grade 12 Accountancy, Business, and

Management (ABM) strand graduates of S.Y 2020-2021 in Mabini Colleges Inc. as the

respondents of this study. The researchers had come up with a total population of the selected

students who have already gone through the difficulties of developing a business plan and

putting it into action will be used.

Research Instrument

The researchers utilized the survey questionnaire as the main data gathering instrument of

this study. The survey questionnaire for the respondents is composed of classification, and Likert

scale questions that will help the researchers discover the different difficulties faced by Grade 12

ABM students.

The questionnaire is divided into two (2) parts. The first part seeks for the classification

of the respondent's proposed innovation. The last part was made to reveal which part of the

implementation process the respondents struggled with. In this part the researchers use a 5 points

Likert scale that will be used to discover the different difficulties during implementation in terms

of financial, production, marketing, and human resources. Varying from 1= Never, 2= Rarely,

3=Sometimes, 4= Often, and 5= Always.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researcher created a few questions for our pre-selected respondents. The questions

are constructed using the Likert scale, which is a five-point scale. The choices range from never

to always. The questionnaire is distributed to our valuable respondents after our research adviser
has examined and approved the questionnaire to be distributed. The 100 respondents will be the

Accountancy, Business, and Management students of Mabini College's school year 2020-2021.

After collecting all the data, the researchers tabulated the data gathered from the

questionnaire, and the result will serve as the primary source of data. On the other hand, articles

and e-journals that are related to this topic serve as a secondary source of data. But before using

those papers and e-journals, the researchers made sure they were relevant.

Statistical Tools

To tabulate the data acquired, that researchers will apply the following quantitative

statistic method:

Frequency Count. also known as tally, is a method of determining how many people fall

into a certain group or how many times a particular trait happens. Both absolute (actual number)

and relative (%) totals are used to make this computation. The table displays the rate or count of

comparing the level within a certain group or range. It will be utilize to determine and compare

the gathered data.

Percentage. According to the article “Encyclopedia of Survey Research Methods”

(2010) percentage are represented by % and are calculated by dividing the frequency in the

category by the total number of participants and multiplying by 100 percent. This will use to the

first research question which is about the respondents' demographic.

Weighted Mean. This is calculated by multiplying each data point in a set by a value

given by some feature of whatever contributed to the data item. When given a series of effect

sizes, the researcher could weight each one according to the sample size for that particular study.
This type of averaging is especially useful when dealing with demographics and population size.

This will be use to ensure that the end product reflects a more balanced and equal interpretation.

Anova Test. This stands for analysis of variance (ANOVA). It is an analysis tool used in

statistics that tests the relationship between a categorical and numerical variable by testing the

difference between two or more means. It is used in the study to test the difference of hardship

encountered between the students who implement product or service. The test determined if the

relationship of the two is significant or not.

Difficulties Encountered by Grade 12 Accountancy, Business and Management Students

During Business Plan Implementation

Results and Discussion

This chapter present the findings and their interpretation based on the main objectives of

the study which were to find out what are the different difficulties encountered by Grade 12

Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) Students during business plan implementation

and propose measures to avoid possible difficulties that upcoming ABM students might

encounter in the future.

Profile of Respondents Based on Product Offerings

This table present the data of the profile of respondents, it was recognized based on the

respondents’ type of product offerings, and capitalization.

Table 1
Distribution of Respondents based on Types of Product Offered

Type of Product Frequency Count Percentage (%)


Convenience Goods 64 80
Shopping Goods 16 20
Total 80 100%

The data gathered in table 1 showed the profile of the respondents which is divided into

two classifications, the product type and the capitalization. There are 80 Grade 12 Accountancy

business and management students who responded. In the product type, 64 of the respondents

implement convenient products. 16 of them implement shopping goods.

The results showed that most of the respondents used convenient product in their

Implementation. The reason could be it is easier to produce and it is inexpensive product that

requires a minimum amount of effort on the part of the consumer in order to select and purchase

it. While the shopping goods require more thought and planning before purchasing it than the

convenient products.

Convenience products are items that buyers want to purchase with the least amount of

effort, that is, as conveniently as possible. Most are non-durable products of low value that are

frequently purchased in small quantities “Consumer and Business Products.” (2022) According

to Elsevier (2019), Shopping products required much more than communication. It requires

much more planning than a regular convenient product.

Profile of Respondents Based on Capitalization

Table 2

Distribution of Respondents based on Capitalization


Starting Capital Frequency Count Percentage (%)
1000 below 40 50
1001 - 2000 24 30
2001 - 3000 11 14
More than 3000 5 6
Total 80 100%

The gathered data in table 2 revealed the profile of respondents based on their business

starting capital. Table 2 shows that 50% of the respondents or total of 40 students has 1,000

pesos below as their starting capital for their business. While, 30% of them with the total of 24

students started their business with estimated capital of 1,001 to 2000 pesos. Followed by 2,001

to 3,000 pesos with total of 11 responses with 14% percent rate, and the last is the more than

3,000 pesos with the total of 5 responses and 6% rate.

The table further revealed that half of the respondents starts their business with 1,000

pesos below as their starting capital. Most of the groups who spent least of capital used

convenient goods. Selling convenient goods could be has lower capitalization than the other type

of product. While most of the groups who spent higher capital used shopping goods in their

product implementation.

(J Hohler) 2021, In their model, they assume that only high risks but also low market

capitalization and high book-to-market values are associated with higher return.

Table 3 shows the data gathered of the difficulties encountered of students in

implementing their business in terms of financial. All indicators range from 2.50 to 3.90

weighted mean. The average weighted mean is 2.50 interpret as often in verbal interpretation.
As presented by the table, it shows that indicator number 6 and 10 which are the

Allocating Funds and Mixing Personal and Business funds with 3.78 weighted mean and has a

verbal interpretation of Often rated with the highest weighted among all of the indicator. While,

indicator number 9 which is Liquidity with 3.05 weighted mean and interpret as Sometimes rated

with the lowest weighted mean among all of the indicators. These shows that most of the

students often encounters difficulties in terms of allocation of their funds and mixing their

personal into their business funds. However, based on the result of the table, it reveals that

students are often encounter different difficulties in terms of financial. This means students are

struggling on handling their finances.

Commingling business and personal funds is a risky practice that makes it difficult to

monitor cash flow and could ultimately damage the value of a company. Auditors, whether from

the government or an internal audit, will see this as a big red flag Beaver (2020). As stated to

Beers (2020) Budgeting helps the business owners to determine if they still have enough money

so personal and business funds won’t mix.

Table 4 illustrates the difficulties encountered by the ABM students in terms of

production. According to the respondents, the 1st indicator was often encountered by the

respondents and had a weighted mean of 3.43. The 2nd indicator has a weighted mean of 3.71

and is often encountered. The 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th, indicators are sometimes encountered by the

respondents that range from the weighted mean of 3.08 to 3.80. The 7th indicator is sometimes

encountered and has the highest weighted mean of 3.83. The 7 th and 8th indicators are sometimes

encountered and have the weighted mean of 3.51 and 3.58. while the 10 th indicator is often

encountered and has a weighted mean of 3.34.

According to the data revealed, more than half of the respondents sometimes encountered

these difficulties in terms of production. That was revealed in the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, and

9th indicators, while the 1st, 2nd, and 10th indicators were often encountered. The 7th Indicator

has the highest weighted mean, which is time management in terms of production. Since there

are still some school activities that need to be submitted, their implementation time will also be

consumed and will lessen. There are also times that some of the members will not be present

when creating the product, and it can affect the production since there will be a lack of

manpower. On the other hand, the lowest weighted mean is 5 th Indicator, which represents

Acquiring quality production packaging. Acquiring quality production packaging is not that

difficult. It is very simple. Simple packaging is enough. It does not need to be flashy as long as

the product is safe.


According to the study of Asif iqbal malik and biswajit Sarkar(2020), Disruption in

production systems can happen at any point during the production process. Without a plan in

place to recover from such disruptions, the company could suffer significant financial and

reputational damage. Furthermore, defective manufacturing lines are widespread in the real

world and have a significant impact on a company's profit and loss.

Table 5 presents the data gathered, taken from the respondent’s responses to the

questionnaire. Its shows the difficulties encountered by ABM students in terms of marketing. To

elaborate, the first and second indicators show that the respondents sometimes encountered these

difficulties with their weighted mean of 2.80 and 3.34. The 3rd and 4th indicators were often

encountered by the respondents with their weighted mean of 3.65 and 3.81. The fifth indicator

was sometimes encountered with its weighted mean of 2.85. The 6th indicator was the

difficulties that were often encountered by the respondents, with a weighted mean of 3.70. The

7th, 8th, and 9th indicators were the difficulties that were sometimes encountered by the

respondents' and had a weighted mean of 3.55, 2.74, and 3.51. And the 10th indicator was often

encountered with its weighted mean of 3.66. The weighted mean is 3.36, and when it comes to

verbal interpretation, we can see that most of the answers are sometimes.

Based on the results from the data gathered, it shows that most of the respondents

sometimes encountered these difficulties but not often in terms of marketing, which is shown in

the 1st, 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th, and 9th indicators, which all of the respondents answered sometimes.

While the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 10th indicators indicated that these are the difficulties that are often

encountered by the respondents. The indicator with the highest weighted mean is the fourth

indicator, which is the execution of the strategy. This is because most respondents have a great

plan or strategy in their business plan, but when it comes to execution, this is where the problems

occur. While the 8th indicator, which deals with customer behavior, has the lowest weighted

mean, respondents had less difficulty dealing with their customers' behavior. This conclusion is

based on the high average of responses from the survey. This could be interpreted to mean that

the difficulties encountered by the respondents in terms of marketing were not often compared to

other business functions. Marketing is crucial for many businesses to sell products or services
and obtain new clients. If you have a business or want to start one, it's a good idea to think about

the challenges you might face.

Marketing is an important part of business; it is an excellent strategy that helps businesses

thrive. Customer interaction is at the heart of any successful business. An organization must use

marketing strategies and concepts to maintain long relationships with customers and deliver on

the organization's promise to customers (Auh et al.,2012). Also, companies use the marketing

concept to acquire information from customers in order to make strategic decisions about what

products to market, where to market them, and how to get them to market, at what price, as well

as how to connect with customers. (Marshall & Johnston, Relationship Selling and Sales

Management, 2005).

Table 6 shows the data gathered from the respondent’s responses to the survey

questionnaire. This indicates the difficulties encountered by the ABM students in human

resources. To elaborate, the 2nd and the 7th indicators are the difficulties that are often

encountered by the respondents with their weighted mean 3.60 and 3.55. The 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th,

6th, 8th, 9th and 10th are the problems that are sometimes encountered by the respondents with

their weighted mean of 3.34, 3.16, 2.89, 3.48, 2.79, 3.43, 3.00, 2.68 and 3.19.

Based on the gathered data, it indicates that most of the problems in human resources are

sometimes encountered except for the 2nd and 7th indicators which are labeled as often

experienced. Which means the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th and 10 th were sometimes

encountered.

According to Robert Half, human resources have a wide range of responsibilities and

charge with handling all types of personnel issues. Human resources provide foundation for a

well-staffed and smartly managed company. there is less struggle here compared to other

resources for it bases on the employees to be hired and their skills.

The type of product of the students has no significant affects with the difficulties that

they encountered during their business plan implementation F(1,6) = 0.63, p = 0.45.

Therefore, it didn’t reject the null hypothesis. This means that the type of products of the

students has nothing to do with the difficulties they encountered.

Product classification organizes products into four categories based mostly on consumer

buying behavior, similarity to competing brands, and price range. Classifying products helps

marketable develop strategies that target consumers specific needs Tylo (2019).

`Table 8 shows the summary result of Anova testing for the type of product. This table

presented on this table, it shows that Row 1 has the highest average of 3.4328125 rate while Row

2 has the lowest average rate of 3.3470588.

Therefore, the data gathered in this table reveals that majority of respondents employed a

convenient product in their implementation. The reason could be that it is easier to create and a

low-cost product that requires little effort on the side of the consumer to pick and acquire. While

shopping items necessitate more thought and planning before purchase than convenient products.

Convenience products are items that buyers want to purchase with the least a mount of

effort, that is, as conveniently as possible. Most are non-durable products of low value that are

frequently purchased in small quantities “Consumer and Business Products.” (2022) According

to Elsevier (2019), Shopping products required much more than communication. It requires

much more planning than a regular convenient product.

The Anova testing result for capitalization reveals that the capitalization of students had

significant affect with the difficulties they encountered during their business plan

implementation F(3,12) = 5.55, p = 0.012.

Therefore, it rejected the null hypothesis and we accept the alternative hypothesis that

there is a significant difference between the difficulties encountered by students based on the

profile of respondents in terms of capitalization.

Adam Smith, David Ricardo, Karl Marx defined capital as value that brings added value.

K. Marx noted that capital is a tool, and raw materials and material products, and a

certain amount of goods and livelihoods. In addition, he wrote that capital is not a thing, but a

production relation, and therefore considered it as an instrument of exploitation of hired labor

Pronko (2021).

Table 10 shows the summary result of Anova testing for the capitalization. This table

contains the four indicators which are the Row 1, Row 2, Row, 3, and Row 4. Based on the data

presented in this table, it shows that Row 2 has the highest average of 3.4229167 while Row 1

has the lowest average of 3.38375. However, Row 3 has almost the same average with Row 2,

with the average of 3.1863636.

Therefore, the data clearly shows that respondents with a small business starting capital

of 1001-2000 to 2001–3000 thousand pesos are the ones who frequently face implementation

challenges. Respondents with a beginning capital of more than 3000 thousand pesos are next.

While the majority of respondents who indicated 1000 thousand or less as their starting capital

are the ones that rarely experience difficulties during implementation. It means that a lower

starting capital equates to a lower risk of facing difficulties.

(J Hohler) 2021, It was said in the study that high capital and high market price are

associated with increases in financing costs and high risk. They assume that not only high risks

but also low market capitalization and high book to market values are associated with higher

return.
Research Output

According to the research in titled “’Difficulties Encountered by Grade 12 Accountancy,

Business and Management Students During Business Plan Implementation” ABM students

struggles during implementation of their business with some specific situation in terms of

Financial, Production, Marketing, and Human Resources.

The researchers will be making a booklet for Grade12 Accountancy, Business and

Management (ABM) students of Mabini Colleges INC., that will serve as the research output of

this study. The booklet will guide the ABM students to avoid possible difficulties that they may

encounter during their business plan implementation in the future. This booklet will make you

prepared and organized to handle those possible difficulties during your actual implementation.

This will provide you some tips and solutions on how to deal with those difficulties.

If you were an upcoming Grade 12 ABM student then you should take time to read this

even more to be aware of those possible difficulties during business plan implementation and

learn the ways to counter those difficulties.

The materials that will be used to produce this research output will be contributed by the

researchers such as planning, booklet making and printing.


CHAPTER 5
Summary, Findings, Conclusion and Recommendations

This chapter contains the discussion of the findings of the study, as well as the

conclusions gleaned from them. Recommendations are likewise forwarded herein, towards the

application of said findings.

Summary

The primary objective of this research was to identify the different difficulties that Grade

12 Accountancy, Business, and Management students commonly encountered during business

plan implementation. This study used the descriptive comparative research design and utilized

the survey questionnaire for data gathering. This tool used to collect the data of the total

population of the respondents. The total population of Grade 12 ABM students of School Year.

2021-2022 was the respondents of this study. This study was conducted during the school year of

2021-2022.

Findings

Analysis of the data gathered from Grade 12 Accountancy, Business and Management

produced the following findings:

A. Type of product offered

Out of the 80 Grade 12 Accountancy business and management students who responded,

64 of them implement convenient products. 16 of the respondents implement shopping goods.


B. Capitalization

In the 80 students who responded, 40 students answered 1 which is equivalent to 1000

pesos and below capital used in their implementation. 24 students who responded 2, equivalent

to 1001 to 2000 pesos capital. Followed by the 11 students who answered 2001 to 3000 pesos

capital . And lastly the 5 students who answered 3000 pesos and above capital.

C. Financial

In terms of finances, the majority of the respondents answered that allocating funds and

mixing personal and business funds were the most frequent difficulties they encountered, which

is consistent with the verbal interpretation. This indicates that ABM students are having

difficulty with it.

D. Production

Most of the respondents answered they sometimes encounter these difficulties in terms of

production and have the highest weighted mean which is consistency of product quality and time

management in terms of production. The rest have an average of 3.08 to 3.58. On the other hand,

there are three difficulties often encountered: purchasing raw material, meeting the product

standard quality, and managing production crew/staff.

E. Marketing

According to the respondents, the most commonly encountered difficulty is the execution

of the strategy, which has the highest weighted mean and is often encountered, while the 3 rd, 6th,

and 10th indicators are also often encountered. On the other hand, 1 st, 2nd, 5th, 7th, 8th, and 9th

indicators are sometimes encountered that have an average weighted mean of 2.74 to 3.55. This
could be interpreted to mean that the difficulties encountered by the respondents in terms of

marketing were not often compared to other business functions. Marketing is crucial for many

businesses to sell products or services and obtain new clients.

F. Resources

The respondents said that dealing with workload pressure and workload are the most

often difficulties they encounter and have a weighted mean of 3.60 and 3.55. The rest are

sometimes encountered.

based on the profile of the respondents??

There is no significant difference between the difficulties encountered by the

Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) students and their product and service

offerings.

Conclusions

Based on the Findings, the following conclusions were reached:

According to the statistics gathered on the respondent’s profile. The respondent’s

responses that they sometimes encounter difficulties in terms of production, which is in

consistency in quality and time management in production. ABM students less struggle in

dealing with human resources and only find it difficult to deal with workload pressure but the

rest indicators were rated as sometimes. Most of the difficult they encountered was in execution

of the strategy which is in Marketing. In terms of Financial Resources, the difficulties here is

allocating funds and mixing personal and business funds. Capitalization as well is not an
exemption for it is essential to implement the chosen business idea, it is difficult and important to

have a fund to start a business.

Recommendations

The researchers make the following recommendations for Grade 12 ABM students of

Mabini Colleges, Inc. who are experiencing difficulties during business plan implementation:

Identify the problems that could hinder the business plan's implementation. Examine

the outcomes and performances, both successful and failures, of previous implementation. This

would help the Grade 12 ABM students to determine the difficulties that they might face and

find the best alternative ways that could help with their business implementation. Use previous

experience to identify what success looks like. Problems can thus be avoided and solved sooner.

This will help to make the outcome of their implementation successful.

Use the SMART method when developing implementation tasks. SMART is an

acronym that stands for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound. This

recommendation could help the grade 12 ABM students when creating an implementation plan.

Using this method ensures that they outline realistic tasks and time frames for implementing a

business strategy.

Set clear goals. Grade 12 ABM students must set goals or objectives for their business

plan for its implementation to be successful. It can be difficult to implement the business plan for
getting there if you don't have a clear picture of what you're trying to achieve. The better

prepared you are, the easier it will be to implement.
