CENTENNIAL BOOK ON UP ENTREPRENEURS OFF THE PRESS
 |
As its contribution to the UP Centennial, the Institute for Small Scale Industries, with the cooperation of the Small Enterprises Research and Development Foundation, has published Iskolar ng Bayan Gives Back, the Enterprising Way. This consists of stories of 25 University of the Philippines alumni who – after leaving the different campuses of their alma mater and places of their employ – finally took that leap of faith and nurtured and grew their respective enterprises.
Aside from its reputation of academic excellence and public service, U.P. has shown that it can produce its fair share of graduates with entrepreneurial bent and business acumen.
This fourth part of the Institute's series on Dreamers, Doers, Risk-takers will be available by November at selected branches of the National Book Store. This brings the total case stories to a hundred – after having released the first 25 in different industry sectors in 1998. This was followed by Couples in Business in 2004 and The Micros That Roared in 2006 |
Learning from Small Businesses (a casebook) - published by Anvil Publishing, Inc. and Small Enterprises Research and Development Foundation
 |
A compilation of 12 cases of Philippine small businesses trying to survive and grow, planning strategies, overcoming problems, seizing opportunities, and generally bringing to life otherwise “cold” management concepts and theories.
The casebook is a major contribution to the dearth of indigenous learning materials that capture the intricacies of doing business in the Philippines that limit the effectiveness of business courses today.
Available in National Bookstore branches nationwide.. |
Introduction to Entrepreneurship (2nd revised edition) – published by the UP ISSI and Small Enterprises Research and Development Foundation
 |
This is the first text and reference book on Entrepreneurship written in the context of the Philippine business environment. First published in 1989 as a joint project with the Philippine Association of Colleges and Schools of Business (PACSB) and the Small Enterprises Research and Development Foundation (SERDEF). it remains to be the most comprehensive resource and training material for students of entrepreneurship in the country.
The fundamental framework of the book has remained unchanged. It begins with the theoretical foundation for entrepreneurship, followed by a study of the entrepreneurial person and his/her distinct qualities and competencies, and then by a discussion of enterprising tasks and functions, with emphasis on practices of successful entrepreneurs.
At the moment, it is available in the UP ISSI offices only. Arrangements are being made to dstribute copies in bookstores and schools. |
