SELF ASSESSMENT/ARE YOU READY?
How do you perceive a social entrepreneur is? Are you ready to become one?
Yes, by working hard and having enough knowledge about growing the business,
learning about popular products, what people need, and having enough funds.
PRACTICE EXERCISE / TRY THIS
Try bartering or better yet do an enterprise for a week and state your experiences.
I tried to start a business. I sold lip tint for extra income. It was easy because I had
a lot of female friends who used it. I also had the courage to offer it to other
women to buy. But I also went bankrupt because it takes a long time for the
product to run out, so it also takes them a long time to buy it again. In business,
you have to be diligent to grow your investment.
ONLINE ACTIVITY / YOU CONNECT
Which of the topic interest you most? Do more research and write down your
observation.
The topic that caught my interest is the topic of entrepreneurs and how
technopreneurs are connected to it. I observed that entrepreneurs and
technopreneurs are similar in terms of their entrepreneurial skill and being
creative to create or innovate a product. But these two differ, the technopreneurs
are entrepreneurs who used the availability of technology to produce a new
product or service. While the entrepreneurs are entrepreneurs who only have an
idea of producing a product or service without the use of technology.
MAIN TASK/DO THIS
What is the best social enterprise for the civil engineer that could help the economy like
wise the society? Which social enterprise you listed will be most applicable to your
community?
The best social enterprise for the civil engineer that could help the economy and
the society itself are the following:
Construction company
Supplier of sand and gravel
Supplier of steel and woods
Cement manufacturers
The most applicable social enterprises are Construction company, Supplier of
sand and gravel, Supplier of steel and woods, Cement manufacturers I choose the
four (4) of them because these for civil engineers these four (4) are the basic
needs on construction and have a connection to civil engineers.
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED?
I have learned that entrepreneurs are persons who know the business and the ones who
produce an idea for a product or service. There is also what they called a technopreneur is
a person who also has a piece of knowledge or idea like entrepreneurs, and use
technology on producing an idea for a product or service. At the same time, I’ve learned
that social entrepreneurship is an approach or way of an individual, group, or company to
solve or implement solutions to social, cultural, and environmental issues that they can
encounter.
