Poll: Confidence in Pre-Need Plans and Pre-Need Companies
Polls
Friday, 06 February 2009

My wife asked if it's time to withdraw from our pre-need plan as a result of the recent barrage of news about the problems faced by pre-need companies. This is not the first time that pre-need companies are in the hot seat. Years back, the College Assurance Plan (CAP) and Pacific Plans, Inc. (PPI) suffered a financial problem which prompted them to seek shelter under the rules on corporate rehabilitation. Lately, member-companies of the Legacy Group (Legacy Consolidated Plans, Scholarship Plan Philippines, All Asia Plans) closed shop. First, let's define some concepts.

Characterizing Entrepreneurship: Who are Pinoy Entrepreneurs?
Entrepreneurship
Monday, 26 January 2009
 
There are problems with this title. First, it might be interpreted to refer to a particular person. While we have a category on (and some lists of) successful and inspiring Pinoy Entrepreneurs, the thrust of this article is not to identify any particular Pinoy Entrepreneur, but to characterize an entrepreneur. Having a characterization would make it much easier to identify specific Pinoy Entrepreneurs. This may be of particular interest considering that an overwhelming majority are not cowed with the current recession in other countries and would still try business in 2009.

Poll: Business as Usual in 2009?
Polls
Monday, 05 January 2009
 
Two successive polls at the Front Page is unusual. It hasn't been done before. But we're doing it now because this isn't an ordinary time in business and in the financial lives of everyone. We all know that there's a financial crisis affecting the world, the Philippines not excluded. It arguably started in the United States, which is now in a recession. We can't say, not yet anyway, that there's a global recession, but we can say that there's a global financial problem.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship (Peter Drucker)
Books
Friday, 12 December 2008
 
The entrepreneur, according to Peter F. Drucker (Innovation and Entrepreneurship, HarperBusiness [1985], 277 pages), “always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.” An entrepreneur acknowledges change as normal and welcomes it. He went on to quote J.B. Say that the entrepreneur “shifts economic resources out of an area of lower and into an area of higher productivity and greater yield.”

Pinoy Entrepreneurs
Thursday, 11 December 2008
 
Looking at the success (and failure) of others is important for Pinoy Entrepreneurs. We learn a lot from learning about the business experience of entrepreneurs who've made it (and, equally, the lessons of those who failed). Thus, it's interesting to know the 10 Outstanding Entrepreneurs of 2008 list, released by Entrepreneur Philippines magazine in its December 2008 issue.
