What kind of global businesses, that with Filipino heritage are involved with? Are we there yet?
Question:
Answer:
What the business schools teach are theories, theories and theories...and yes, we do have excellent schools that offer business management courses. And thankfully too, we are well-known for being resourceful (matinik sa bolahan...not an exact translation but that's what I want to say) and so we do make good entrepreneurs. We do have smart business sense, esp. if our strong familial affinity would not get in the way - no hiring of relatives just because. And yes, given the capital, we can compete with the best of them, globally!
yes, i think so. (lol) to which? i don't know.
yes I think so, there are lots of Filipino entrepreneurs that are now venturing to international markets, the likes of Nix Nolledo, he is presently the CEO of Xurpas Inc, one of the largest value added service providers in the Philippines. He is also the co-founder and majority shareholder of Starfish Mobile International; he studied in Ateneo De Manila Univ.
Romeo Munoz Cachola is a politician and entrepreneur in Hawaii, he studied in Quezon University (i think that is not the name of the school now) and in case you haven´t heard there are also some filipino fashion designers and business entrepreneurs making their way through the US market. So I guess we´re not so outdated!^^
You gave me a headache...:(
But in the desire to place a hit with an answer,
1. Entrepreneurship is quite a broad term that is made broader today due to the accessibility of technology...online marketing, internet, etc.the Philippines produces a lot of sme's and entrepreneurs today that continually invites more people to actually start their own businesses.
2. Schools provide the foundations while experience and exposure provides the much needed platform for any entrepreneur to grow.
3. Have you heard of the "Barter" system? our ancestors used this to do businesses with each other as well as with foreigners during their times - commerce, not matter how simplistic its form may be, is still commerce and is quite inherent in any community...
2.
yes they are
