Module 1 Introduction to Entrepreneurship
Often parents keep on reminding you of being a diligent student in school and working
hard so you can secure a reputable position in a private company or in the government,

every possibility and opportunity that this life may offer.
Nowadays, many Filipinos have paved their way to see another path to success –
Entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship has helped ordinary Filipinos into becoming
millionaires and giant tycoons. And some of the biggest corporations were initially
established as small start-up businesses.
This module will teach you the basics of Entrepreneurship and covers the
following lessons:

What is Entrepreneurship
It is the creation of an innovative

A venture is a business undertaking involving risk.
Creating a sound business plan, along with efficient and effective operation of the
business will not only benefit the entrepreneur but also the entire society and the

OPPORTUNITY
Many thousands of years ago, there were two important inventions, the wheel and the
sack. As a traveler, Mr. Sadow, had his eureka moment in 1970 as he lugged two heavy
suitcases through an airport while returning from a family vacation in Aruba. Waiting
at customs, he said, he observed a worker effortlessly rolling a heavy machine on a
wheeled skid. He said to his wife “You know, that what we need for luggage,” (referring
to wheeled skid). When he got back to work, he took casters off a wardrobe trunk and
mounted them on a big travel suitcase. He put a strap on the front and pulled it, and IT
WORKED.
“It was one of my best ideas,” Bernard D. Sadow claimed. Mr. Sadow, was the Vice
president Massachusetts company that made luggage and coats, is credited with
inventing rolling luggage.
Based on Mr. Sadow’s story, he has his own complaint about his heavy luggage,
afterwards he observed his surroundings and managed to spot an innovative and
practical solution. He grabbed it and transformed as a business opportunity.

Methods of generating ideas
1. Idea Stage- in this stage, the entrepreneur determines what are the feasible
products and /or services that will perfectly suit the opportunity. Usually, a
market evaluation is conducted by the entrepreneur to assess whether the new
product or service ideas will be accepted by the market using values and benefits
to consumers as metrics.
2. Concept Stage- once the acceptable product or service has already been
identified, it will go through in this stage. In this stage, the developed idea will
undergo a consumer acceptance test.
3. Product Development Stage- in this stage, the entrepreneur leverages on the
information generated from the prospective customers via the concept
stage. Actual reactions from prospective customers are determined.
4. Test marketing stage- This stage validates the work done from the first three
stages to measure success in the commercialization of the product or service.
