Techno2: Assignment 1

Your reflection/learning's on Technopreneurship 1 (at least 2000 words) 


When I heard Tecgnopreneurship,lot of things that comes in my mind. The two things that really comes in my mind were business and money. From the word itself, techno means technology and entrepreneurship means business. It means a business that using technology as their business model. An entrepreneur is the one who is willing to own and operate and take the risk of operating any business. Technopreneurs are entrepreneurs who are into the core businesses involving technology-based industries. They make use of technology to come out with new or innovative products through a process of commercialisation. The businesses are generally marked with high growth potential and high leverage of knowledge and intellectual property. Technopreneurs must be equipped with both technical and business skills. I was so excited in this course because I really love business. I love business. I love money. I love to work. And that's the one thing that I really want to know why. All I know is I love those things and I need it. And I know this course can help in the future. As far as I remembered, our instructor told us that if some of you will not be an IT professional, there's an option. The option is to become a Technopreneur someday. When our professor told that, I was happy. I don't know why I felt that.

There were many activities that we discussed in this course. One of them was the story of Steve Jobs. We learned lot of things about his life, how he really cares about business and how he handle his life. I am inspired of what he is, especially I am an Information Technology Students. I have the opportunity to do the same like Steve Job. I can be like him. But I don't want to follow his bad attitude. I don't like the way he treated his employee's as I watched the movie, Job is very strict with his employee's. Jobs regularly misses appointments. He acts without thinking and with bad judgement. He does not give credit where due. Jobs often reacts ad hominem. He makes absurd and wasteful decisions by trying to be paternal. He interrupts and doesn’t listen. He does not keep promises or meet commitments. He makes decisions. For Jobs, innovation has little to do with the amount of investment and capital you have available to finance new research and development. He works hard to get people to “buy in” to his vision. He does this by arguing and debating everything the company does, from new product designs to new looks for its software. They go backwards and forwards until everyone is convinced the idea (or design, or interface) is a good one. After they “buy in,” to the idea, they’ll defend it to death. Jobs once used to throw substandard work in people's faces and call it "shit" until it was done right. In short, Jobs's ceaseless pursuit of perfection has become its own process that is used throughout the company and will continue to be, no matter who is in charge.
Jobs is a powerhouse right now because he studied Gates' ability to embrace and extend and has successfully coupled that with his trademark sense of style that Gates himself admits to wishing he had.


We took some tests in this course. All those tests really help us in starting or putting-up a business. In my experienced, when I took the tests you should concentrate yourself. In order to answer all the questions truly. And in a solemn place. The tests are the following: Personal traits, Emotional Quotient, Intelligence Quotient, and Adversity Test. The personal traits test can determine who you really are. It's like knowing yourself. If you really understand all those questions, you also determine yourself. The result of my personal trait test is very important because it reflects my own self. I was curious about the questions. My percentage is 66. Wow, I got a high score, but not as high. High scorers tend to be nervous, high-strung, insecure, worrying--- this result is some kinda real. I have to admit it. But I hate it. 
Neuroticism is a fundamental personality trait in the study of psychology. It is an enduring tendency to experience negative emotional states. Individuals who score high on neuroticism are more likely than the average to experience such feelings as anxiety, anger, guilt, and depressed mood. Yeah, it;s true. I can feel this. Even this time. To be in this kind of situation is very hard. I can't really express here why I feel this way now. The second test was the Emotional Quotient, in this test it deals with your emotion. And can show who you are when it comes to feelings. Some of us are sensitive. As I answered all the questions, I really appreciated all my answers. I that test, I can say that I am a moody person. The next test that I took was The Intelligence Quotient, this test is testing your capability of what you have learned or knowledge. This test is very challenging. Logic questions. The last was Adversity test. This test is giving you a situation of how you handle things in an unexpected things. Of how you deal things in your surroundings. All this tests really help us in knowing our own self. This test really help us. To be able to know our self. I think the more experiences we have, the more we know our self. There's a variety of experiences that we will encounter or will happen to us. We also have the activity in our class to determine what we Love, what we Like and what we Hate the most. The purpose of this activity is to show what are the things that can help us in starting a business or proposing a business. Once a person decides what kind of business they want to be in then it is time for them to start there job of getting everything in order such as the advertising,what products they are going to promote and what kind of place they need to have to do this and get all there work force in place with everyone knowing what there job is and how they are suppose to carry it out and then and then only they will start to profit and make money.


In dealing with business there are some factors that you have to consider. The most important is money. No money, no business. I think that's the rule. And there are some tips to consider Be a life-long learner.I truly believe that we become better people as we learn. Take time throughout your life to grow and learn and become a better person. Take time off. Life isn't just about work. There is so much else to experience here in this life, and unfortunately, too little time to enjoy it. Have the commitments. We live this life based on commitments we make toward one another. his is a key to a successful life. hose who honor those commitments are those who will be respected and trusted by others. Be an open-minded person. If you have that characteristic then it's good. Vision: An open mind and the ability to put new twists on old techniques was one of the key distinguishing factors. For me, you have to think first if you really want to have a business, also what will be your business and to have a good understanding about business matters. But the one important factor is the money. Business involves money. Yea right! You should know how to handle money. And starting a business is an exciting but demanding task. In our lessons. We also discussed some tips in starting a business: you need to assess your understanding of the business as well as your readiness and ability to manage the proposed venture. 
It is important to possess the following: 
a. Some previous work experience or skills appropriate to your business.
b. Knowledge of your products/service and the market for it.
c. Understanding of the relationship between product knowledge of technological goods and the disciplines of marketing, production, finance and administration.Courage: After being diagnosed with cancer and facing the threat of death, must kept his eyes and ears open and had the courage to seize new opportunities as they came along. Whether risky or outright foolish, Jobs was from then on out determined to follow his intuition in guiding his business decisions. 



Before the last semester ends, we have to think our business plans. Our group have a lots of business plans. The first proposal was the on-line customization of shirts. But suddenly our proposal failed. Our professor told us that our business proposal was so easy. Yea we know that sir hehe. It is so hard to think a proposal that can apply to everyone and can help in daily life. Many many proposals that we proposed but it was always failed. And we think and think again. (Higher-Order-Thinking-Skills) Atlast, at the last day of proposing a business plan, our proposal was very successful. Approved! In this kind of situation is an example of being an entrepreneur. You have to be focus on everything and to think deeply. At first you want to give-up but if you really want it then fight for it. The secret of success is doing things that you like. And doing things that you really love. You have to follow your dreams. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. In the long run, we only hit what we aim at. And most of all never never give up. You must be very sure of what you want and what you like.
