PREPARATION:
1. This lesson discusses the roles of technopreneur in job creation and in the National economy, its importance and its definition.
2. Understand the meaning of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs
3. This lesson will help learners to assess their potential for becoming future technopreneurs.
PRACTICE:
1. Group the class into 3 groups by picking one candy from a box. They will group themselves according to the color of their candy wrappers. Each group will portray the actual situation:
Group 1: The father is not employed and the family has no other resources
Group 2: A newly graduate that is seeking job but does not pass the required job requirement such as pleasing personality.
Group 3 : A person currently employed but not satisfied with its present salary and benefits
2. Assign the situation for each group. Give them 10 minutes to conceptualize each situation assigned to the group. Then let each group to role play the situation. (5 min each group)
3. Ask the student to reflect the lessons they have learned from the role playing, let them share it to the group.
PRESENTATION:
1. Ask the student what is the importance of technopreneurship based on the role playing they have just witness.
2. Record their answers on the board.
3. Show to them your power point presentation about the importance of the technopreneurship. Then discuss the following concepts about importance of technopreneur:
a. Employment creation – Entrepreneurs create employment for themselves and other people. They are employers, and hence assist in solving the unemployment problem in the country.
b. Local resources – When entrepreneurs utilize local resources, the value of these resources increases.
c. Decentralization and diversification of business – Entrepreneurs are able to identify business opportunities and locate these businesses in suitable areas, including rural areas.
d. Promotion of technology – By being creative, entrepreneurs are able to contribute to the utilization and development of technology.
e. Capital formation – Entrepreneurship increases capital formation and investment.
f. Promotion of an entrepreneurial culture – By projecting successful images, entrepreneurs become models than can be copied by young people.
4. After discussing the importance of technopreneurship, let the student now think of the definition for a technop4. After discussing the importance of technopreneurship, let the student now think of the definition for a technopreneurship.
5. Reinforce your student about the definition of student and compare it with their own definition.
6. State also some of the basic facts about a technopreneur and technopreneurship.
Technopreneurship is entrepreneurship in the field of technology.
How can one be pioneering in the field of technology? The mindset of a person should always be looking out for innovation.
A technopreneur needs to think “out of the box”. The box is the logic of an industry, business or product. Logic answers why people are buying that product, why is the entrepreneur using that kind of raw material, etc. Thus, an entrepreneur has to look at the box and find something that is different. He or she doesn’t just copy what is currently available in the industry/business.
Logic is the foundation to start thinking out of the box. Logic topped with creativity results to innovation.
Logic answers “why?” Creativity answers “why not?”
To the teacher: Make sure that you install the FLV player.
Ask the students: Do you know the meaning of technopreneurship?
Let them write down their answers on the board.
+Play the What is the definition of technopreneurship? video
Teacher gives the definition of technopreneurship:
Technopreneurship is entrepreneurship in the field of high technology. (Teacher needs to expound on this. He/she might say that we use technology in managing business operations, or the like.)
Ask the students: How can one be pioneering in the field of technology?
Answer: The mindset of a person should always be looking out for innovation.

He or she doesn’t just copy what is currently available in the industry/business.
PRESENTATION:
Ask the students: “Do you know the meaning of an entrepreneur?”
Write on the board their answers.
Present to the student your definition of entrepreneur and compare it with the definition they have given. From that point reinforce the students understanding by giving different practical examples.
After understanding the definition of entrepreneur, toss a ball to a student asking the difference of entrepreneur from technopreneur.
Present the difference of technopreneur to entrepreneur. And provide them with some basic facts about an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneurs are people who enter into new and pioneering ventures. They do not copy another’s idea. He or she may find an existing idea to be good but he/she brings improvements on it before introducing it to the market.
Most entrepreneurs start at being self-employed but eventually hire other people to help them in the business.
Entrepreneurship entails employing people.
An entrepreneur is whole-brained, meaning he/she uses both the left brain (logical) and right brain (creative).
Innovation is the process of idea generation, incubation and implementation. This is a cycle. Idea generation has to use a little of logic and a lot of creativity. Incubation has to use the same amount of logic and creativity (incubation answers are there people buying? Will it make a profit?) Implementation has to use a lot of logic and a little of creativity.
An entrepreneur should not be content at being different. He or she has to make a difference in his/her innovation
Present to the class the course model called SEED, where:
S = Self Mastery
E = Environment Mastery
E = Enterprise Mastery
D = Development of a Business Plan
The teacher can click each durian to go through each phase.
Teacher gives an overview of self-mastery.
The technopreneur has to have a mastery of himself/herself in order to be successful in the business. This goes beyond knowing one’s Intellectual Quotient (IQ) but rather emphasizes on one’s Emotional Quotient (EQ) and Adversity Quotient (AQ). When one has achieved a mastery of himself, he can use the appropriate leadership style required to handle any situation in business.
Say the following:
For an entrepreneur, Intellectual Quotient (IQ) does not have to be very high. But if it is high, this will be beneficial to him or her.
Emotional Quotient (EQ) should be high. This is the ability for an entrepreneur to connect to other people and be able to feel others’ emotions easily.
Adversity Quotient (AQ) should be high as well. AQ is the ability to rise up after a failure and to go against the norm.
A self-mastered person is a performer, epicure (enthusiast), and a boss. He can shift to different personality traits according to the need of the moment.
A technopreneur is whole-brained, meaning he/she uses both the left brain (logical) and right brain (creative). Self-mastery says “I can shift from left to right and vice versa on command.”
Teacher explains what is environment mastery.
The possibility of generating ideas are most likely be found through:
serendipity walks: Have you ever taken a walk and stumbled upon something completely unexpected?
Crisis: There is opportunity in crisis.
Trends: Opportunities and innovative ideas can be found in current fads and fashion.
Others: Hobbies/Interests, Personal skills and Experiences

Teacher will say:
The objective of this is to understand the importance of understanding every aspect of an enterprise, such as marketing, operations, finance and human resource in order to be master of running a business.
Enterprise mastery is how to run a business.
When you start a venture, start with Marketing. Marketing is creating a promise.
Operations is the next aspect that one has to look into. Operations is keeping the promise and how to make the perception a reality.
Next is Financial Management. The best way to protect your invention or technology is to put only a small margin on your product. This way, copycats will not waste their time replicating your invention because they know margin is very low.
Risk Management is important. Being a technopreneur involves some risks. Technopreneurs have the ability to take measured or calculated risks. Such risks involve working out the likely costs and gains, the chance of success and the belief in oneself to make the risk pay off.
The teacher will say:
An enterprise-mastered person brings about changes to the business from planning to execution, analyzing every implication of your decision.
He/She is accountable for the organization, leads and inspires them to generate ideas that will lead to innovation and changing the rules of the game at a speed that is faster than the ability of the competition to copy.

The last part of the SEED model is for you, as team, to write, present and defend your business plans.
Do a presentation about the different types of entrepreneurship.
a.) Incremental - Routine business, modest novelty (new coffee shop, new BPO)
b.) Imitative - Imitation of venture, same business model and template (new regional branch, franchised operations)
- Definition from Dorf & Byers
c.) Rent-seeking -Business that utilizes standards, regulations and laws to share in value of enterprise (licensing of patented ideas, products or trade secrets - Coca Cola Export)
d.) Innovative - Business based on innovation (new cure for infectious diseases, new production method to bring down drug cost, new DVD format, new memory chip, ICT-enhanced home appliance) (Dorf & Byers)
1. Hard Working: running a business requires a lot of energy and drive. This involves the ability to work for long hours when necessary, to work intensely in spurts and to cope with less than a normal amount of sleep.
2. Self-Confident: to succeed, entrepreneurs have to believe in themselves and in their ability to achieve the goals they have set for themselves. This is often shown by a belief that “if you want something badly enough and are prepared to work at it, you’ll usually get it”.
3. Builds for the Future: the goal for most successful business people is to build a secure job and income for themselves which is based on their own abilities. This means entrepreneurs understand that it may take several years to build up business income to a reasonable standard.
4. Profit-Oriented: interest in generating money is a clear indicator of an entrepreneur’s suitability for being a business owner. This means recognizing that the business comes first. Once profits are generated, the entrepreneur can make decisions about how the profits can be used – to expand the enterprise or for personal use.
5. Goal-Oriented: success in business depends upon being able to set realistic goals or targets and to work with determination to achieve them. This ability to set goals (for things the person thinks are worthwhile) and to work to achieve them is fundamental to being an entrepreneur.
6. Persistent: all businesses have their problems and disappointments. Being persistent in solving a problem is one of the keys to being a successful entrepreneur.
7. Copes with Failure: all business ventures inevitably contain disappointments and failures as well as successes. Coping with failures involves recognizing these failures, learning from them and seeking new opportunities. Without this characteristic, early failures may end a person’s attempt at self-employment.
8. Responds to Feedback: entrepreneurs are concerned to know how well they are doing and to keep track of their performance. Obtaining useful feedback and advice from others is another important characteristic of entrepreneurs.
9. Demonstrates Initiative: research shows that successful entrepreneurs take the initiative and put themselves in positions where they are personally responsible for success or failure.
10. Willing to Listen: the successful entrepreneur is not an inward looking person that never uses outside resources. Self-reliance does not exclude the ability to ask for help when needed from such people as bank officials, accountants and business advisers. Being able to listen to the advice of others is a key characteristic of an entrepreneur.
11. Sets Own Standards: setting standards of performance and then working to achieve them is another indicator of a successful entrepreneur. These standards can be income, quality, sales or product turnover. Most entrepreneurs want to do better each year, to set and achieve higher standards from year to year.
12. Copes with Uncertainty: being an entrepreneur is much more uncertain than employment. This uncertainty is about sales and turnover, but it often also exists in other areas such as material delivery and prices, and bank support. An ability to cope with this uncertainty without becoming too stressed is a necessary trait of being an entrepreneur.
13. Committed: starting and running an enterprise demands total commitment by the entrepreneur in terms of time, money and lifestyle. It has to be a major priority in the entrepreneur’s life.
14. Builds on Strengths: successful business people base their work upon the strength(s) they have, such as manual skills, interpersonal skills, selling skills, organizational skills, writing skills, knowledge of a particular product or service, knowledge of people in a trade and ability to make and use a network of contacts.
15. Reliable and Has Integrity: the qualities of honesty, fair dealing and reliability in terms of doing what one has promised to do are essential traits of an entrepreneur.
16. Risk-Taker: being an entrepreneur involves some risks. Entrepreneurs have the ability to take measured or calculated risks. Such risks involve working out the likely costs and gains, the chance of success and the belief in oneself to make the risk pay off. Entrepreneurs may be considered risk avoiders when they reduce their risks by having others assume part of the risk. Those who assume the entrepreneur’s risk may be bankers, suppliers and customers.
PRACTICES:
Divide the class into two groups. Each group is given set of company, company logos, company trademarks, clips and etc.
Let the students classify whether each company, company logos, company trademarks, clips & etc belongs to technopreneurship or entrepreneurship.
Ask the student point of view why the company, company logos, trademarks, clips and etc belong to either technopreneur or entrepreneur.
Validate their answer after doing the presentation.
Before the session end, give them the hand out about a “YOUTUBE” online success stories with a guide questions as their assignment. The next meeting, discuss the case study then relate it to the next topics
Present to the class some technology ventures, after presentation group them into 3 group, ask them what technological ventures you have in mind in addition to what I have presented.
