Chapter I

The Problem and Its Background

The K-12 Program offers Accountancy, Business and Management

strand wherein this strand will unmask the different theories, perceptions,

and concepts in business. ABM Strand is inclined in business. This program

being organized is a practical economic education so that learners can

manage their own small scale businesses in the future.

Throughout the years of studying in the field of accountancy and

business management, important aspects of business are discussed and

specialized subjects are introduced. These specialized subjects became the

stepping stones in creating and managing a business, and they also had a

great impact on entrepreneurs' lives. There are different specialized subjects

offered in the ABM strand. The following are: Business Ethics, Organization

and Management, Business Finance, and Business Principles. First,

Organization and Management, it tackles the five main concepts in business

specifically planning, organizing, staffing, leading, and controlling as well as

the seven P’s (Product, Price, Packaging, Place, Promotion, People,

Positioning) of managing the business. Second, Business Ethics tackles

about the different ethics and ethical issues in business. Lastly, Business

Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) is an academic track

where they

study about the concepts of business. It is an integral preparatory program

for those who want to engage in entrepreneurship or other business-related

careers. The work immersion program plays a big role in every Senior High

School students since it is one of the major requirements of every student to

pass in their curriculum. Work immersion provides Senior High School learners

with opportunities to become familiar with the workplace, simulate employment,

and to apply their competencies in areas of specialization or applied subjects in

actual work environment to prepare learners for all curriculum exits.

ABM students has to undergo Work Immersion in a business industry

that directly relates to the student's post secondary goal. Through Work

Immersion, the students are exposed to and become familiar with work-

related environment related to their field of business to enhance their

competence in business management.

Work immersion can be community based or school based. The

assigned work immersion activity of ABM 12 students is business

simulation where the students establish their own business.

The ABM-12 students are expected to apply the different theories from

their specialized subjects to know the effectiveness of the theories and to let

the students experience it on-hand. The level of application and level of

effectiveness of general theories in specialized subjects of ABM-12 can be

seen if their established business goes well or became successful.

The purpose of this study is to investigate whether the general

theories acquired in specialized subjects can be applied to the work

immersion program. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of

applying theoretical concepts in practice in the context of work immersion.

Conceptual Framework

The K–12 Basic Education Program aims to help students acquire the

skills, work ethic, and values necessary for continuing their education or

entering the workforce. According to the DepEd Order No. 30, Series 2017,

work immersion is an obligatory subject

in order to better align the nation's development goals with the fundamental

education being provided. This course will give students the chance to

practice job simulations, get a feel for the workplace, and to put their skills

in their areas of expertise/applied studies to use in real-world job settings.

Experiential education is very important and it broadly refers to a

philosophical process that directs the creation of structured and useful

learning experiences, attends to the ethics of knowledge, and establishes the

overarching requirements for learning settings. Moreover, experiential

learning is thought to be a representation of the precise methods or

mechanisms that a person might use to learn new things or achieve learning

objectives. By the use of work-integrated learning, which is a general phrase

that refers to a variety of learning opportunities focused on the fusion of

theoretical knowledge and real-world application in a chosen work setting,

experiential learning can be enhanced in higher education (Roberts, 2021).

The idea above underlines very clearly that work immersion is a

subject that demands students to expand and enhance their talents utilizing

the lessons and theories that they have acquired in their specialized

subjects. There are four specialized subjects in the Accounting, Business,

and Management (ABM) strand: Organization and Management, Business

Finance, Business Ethics, and Principles of Marketing. When creating and

running their own businesses, the students are required to put business

principles into practice. Their exposure to and learning from a real

workplace will function as their training in this way.

Through work immersion, the students will perform varied duties

assigned to them and the level of application and level of effectiveness of

general theories in specialized subjects of ABM-12 will be evaluated by their

partners or work immersion teacher. In this case, students will contribute

fresh thinking and innovation to business.

Significance of the Study

The study is believed by the researchers that it can give significance to

the following:

As the prospective Senior High School learners in the future, the

findings of this study would benefit and inspire the ABM-12 students to

formulate and act upon on their career plans in the future. As the ones who

have a huge part in the teaching-learning process, this study would help the

specialized subject teachers they will know the level of application and

effectiveness of the general theories and it would be a basis for them to what

they do in the future. This study would also enable the school

administrators to gain insights into the quality of education that they

currently offer to the K-12 students. This study would also benefit the

parents the income generated by the learners in their business simulation

can be given to them. Lastly, as future instructors of the K-12 curriculum,

this study will greatly help and inspire the future researchers to be more

innovative and carry out the programs of Department of Education (DepEd)

that will be beneficial to both the learners and teachers.

Chapter II

Review of Related Studies and Literature

This chapter reviews related literatures and studies in general theories

learned in specialized subjects on the work immersion starting with factors

that affects the sales and profit.

Foreign Literature

Most small and medium enterprises have sharpened their learnings in

their specialized subjects as a mechanism to guarantee the success of their

business in the future. The challenge thus facing the small and medium

enterprises is the need for diversification of their products to meet the needs

and development of the country. For while the small and medium

enterprises can play a very significant and critical role in a nation’s

developmental process, the challenge currently being faced is how small and

medium enterprises marketers respond by creatively introducing small and

medium enterprises policies, instruments and marketing techniques to serve

as a basis for the country’s sustained economic development (Njoroge,

2015).

Foreign Studies

Work Immersion of ABM Students - Business Simulation

According to Nico Van Mervwe (2015), the subject of professional skills

is among the most hotly discussed ones in the literature on accounting

education currently available. It seems that many academic institutions

are not adequately preparing their graduates with the fundamental

professional abilities needed in the industry. The case study method and

business simulations are two complementary teaching and learning

techniques that have been effective in fostering the development and

evaluation of professional skills in accounting; however, very few current

cases or simulations appear to be integrated across the discipline areas

within accountancy. The results indicate that the assignment's most

obvious advantages relate to the perceived level of learning that occurs,

exposure to actual accountancy practice, and the perceived contribution to

the development of various professional abilities. Business simulations are

creative instructional models for hands-on or group work. With the ongoing

initiatives to improve employability skills in undergraduate and graduate

courses, we examine the social constructionist foundations of these

educational models in this research. On the basis of a worldwide survey of

students' impressions of soft skill development during business

simulations, we analyze the role of business simulations in developing soft

skills in more detail. Testing if business simulations aid in the students'

development of soft skills is our goal (Sandu & Coulmont et al., 2016).

Business Principles

Marketing strategy is an important sword or instrument for any

business organization to stay competitive and stronger (Gbolagade,

Adesola, & Oyewale, 2017). In addition, Juneja (2015) also said that

marketing strategies is a way in explaining how an organization reaches its

predetermined objectives. In the result of the study conducted by Fanaei,

Dehnavi and Sadeghian(2016) it showed that marketing strategy really

influenced sustainable competitive advantage in which they states that

marketing strategy affects the image of the organization, both on the value

of the brand and the organization itself. All the elements in the marketing

mix have a notable impact on achieving competitive advantage (Al badi,

2018). Strategies are the game plan that every company or businesses

chooses in order to get the largest growth and profits with the lowest risk

(Lombardo, 2015). Marketing concepts are the strategies where it leads to

our business position with our customers, differentiate our products from

our competitors, and create a strong and effective marketing plan (Raju,

2021).

The development of your business strategy may lead to success or

failure of your operation that is why it is very important to have a

marketing strategies whatever kind of business we have (Frederiksen,

2022). According to Ponsawat (2016), the factors composting the marketing

strategies are the product, price, place, promotion, people, process and

physical evidence. On the result of his research, product factor highlights

the image of the product as well as its quality. Price factor on the other

hand states that cost must be suitable for its quality. Place factor

emphasizes that business should be located where transportation is simple

and easy. Promotion factor mostly advertise using media. People factor give

significance on the proper treatment of the employees. Fastening of service

procedures is a process factor and physical evidence aims for a nice and

clean atmosphere. On the other side Jain (2016) defined the different

elements of marketing mix as the following: Product is all important

components and elements to do a service which create or give value for

customer. Price is all about giving the perfect match of the cost of the

product equal to its quality and also making sure to gain profit. Place

refers to administrative decisions about where customers should receive

services, which can encompass both electronic and physical routes.

Personnel or people are one of the main players of the business; they

provide the customer with the service. Procedure is where the management

ensures a balance between the supply and demand. Physical Assets refers

to the facilities where the businesses were conducted. Promotion the way

businessmen market their products to the market.

Marketing mix theory is still used today to make important decisions

that lead to the execution of a marketing plan. The idea of a marketing mix

theory is to organize all aspects of the marketing plan around the habits,

desires and psychology of the target market (Gronroos, 2016). The theory of

push and pull is applied in today’s market; pushing solutions is sometimes

seen by the customer as intrusive or overlooked by the customer as the

solution gets lost due to information overload. Pulling solutions has always

been a part of most organizations.

Promotion strategy is the process of advertising, sales promotion,

selling the products relating to the public, giving product ideas and

availability and direct marketing in promoting organizational products

(Czinkota and Ronkainen, 2017). According to Brrassington and Pettitt

(2016), promotion is simply a direct way of communicating the company to

target customers in dealing with the products or services. Kotler and

Armstrong (2016) gives views on promotion as all activities that involve

promoting the products or services to target and potential market.

Business Ethics

Many people who are interested in business ethics hold the opinion

that students should be exposed to ethical awareness and ethical reasoning

in business ethics and courses of this type, and that this instruction should

be complemented by discussions of these subjects in other business courses

like accounting, finance, marketing, and others. This study documents the

outcomes of adding a corporate ethics unit to eleven accounting courses at

two universities. A method for quantifying the impact of ethical integration

into accounting and other business courses is given, and the effect of ethics

integration on accounting students is evaluated. According to the findings,

ethics integration had an impact on the guiding concepts that students used

to guide their moral judgments. The transparency rule, the golden rule, and

the professional ethic were relied upon more by students after ethical

integration (Hiltebeitel K. & Jones S., 2017)

McCartan-Quinn and Carson (2015) concluded that the marketing

practices of small companies are informal, intuitive, and focused on sales.

This situation has required considerable effort on behalf of researchers to

understand the effects of marketing on financial performance in these

small enterprises. According to (Mohamed et al., 2015) a marketing

strategy is a process that can allow an organization to concentrate its

limited resources on the greatest opportunities to increase sales.

Marketing is helpful to gain costumers loyalty. It is useful to increase

sales and earn product branding (Marketing Strategies, 2019). Every local

marketing strategy has a goal of planning and implementing it efficiently. A

local marketing strategy ensures that you are targeting a client that might

patronize your business (Uzialko, 2021).

Local Studies

Impact of Work Immersion on ABM students

The Senior High School (SHS) curriculum includes work immersion as

a significant subject that is taught in various ways and for varying lengths

of time depending on the needs of the SHS students. In order to determine

how well the Grade 12 students at San Isidro High School and Subic

National High School in Zambales, the Philippines, performed during their

work immersion, a study was done. Data showed that student-trainees did

extremely well throughout their work immersion, displaying good work

ethics and personalities suited for a future employee in any organization

they wished to apply to (Alcobendas J., 2022).

The Department of Education thought to offer pre-university

entrepreneurship education, during which students are expected to

develop the competencies and mindset necessary to spark among students

the desire to set up a business in the future. The students' education or

experience in business and entrepreneurship may also be considered. It is

suggested that educational institutions put a higher priority on experience-

based learning by boosting project-based outputs, and that students who

intend to start their own business should select ABM as their senior high

school strand (Dela Paz & Manuel et al. , 2022).

The study anchored by Edward Santos (2018), assessed the ABM

students’ entrepreneurial intentions, its influencing factors, motivators, and

obstacles. It was then concluded that (1) rather than working as an

employee in a corporation, student–respondents want to start their own

business and be their own boss; and the course they attended had an effect

on their self-efficacy in making professional selections;(2) they looked up to

their family for advice on how to become an entrepreneur one day, which

could be because their family has a business experience;(3) motivation

factors show that student–respondent do not dwell on focusing personal

gaining of status they will achieve then they become entrepreneurs as they

are motivated to give support for potential entrepreneurs, use their creative

talent, and take risk; and (4) to establish a business, one needs have

sufficient savings to employ as capital, as well as entrepreneurial skills. It is

also crucial to have the right mindset while starting a business because

there are dangers and uncertainties to consider.

The purpose of this research is to incorporate corporate social

responsibility (CSR) learning active approach into management accounting

education. Given that they will act as change agents for CSR, future

managers must effectively integrate CSR into their training as a result of the

connections between sustainable management and management

accounting. As a result, business-minded students must learn about

corporate social responsibility for their future businesses or companies
