C. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Through the years, the emergence of young student entrepreneurs all around the
world is not anymore surprising. Student entrepreneurs are students using “classrooms
and labs as platforms, resources, and subsidies to construct marketable products,
processes, or services” (Mars, Slaughter, & Rhoades, 2008 cited in Hermens &
Marchand, 2015). They are everywhere and can be found in any school under different
institutions, a fact supported by Santander University UK (n.d., cited in O'Neill, 2015),
which revealed that twenty-four percent of university students run a business venture
of some sort. In addition, these student entrepreneur’s propensity to start a business is
influenced by different contexts. One good example are student entrepreneurs whose
families have business backgrounds.
A survey conducted by Sieger, Fueglistaller, & Zellweger (2016) shows that 17.5%
among the students from different countries engaged in business activities have
parents who are self-employed or own a private business. Furthermore, Sieger et al.
(2016) also recognized the influences student entrepreneurs acquire in the university
context. The survey states that “the more intensive the students’ involvement in
entrepreneurial activities and offerings are, the stronger their entrepreneurial intentions
are.” Therefore, continuous interaction and involvement with related activities may also
influence an ordinary student’s entrepreneurial interest.

In the Philippines, around 45 percent of those engaged in early stage
entrepreneurship belong to the group of 18-34 years old, with high school graduates
dominating the start-up phase (Reyes, 2015). In addition, various well-known and
successful business establishments in the country are owned by individuals who started
their business when they were in their early 20’s, with some starting at the age of 17,
without necessarily having specific entrepreneurial backgrounds (Concepcion, 2011).
Correspondingly, Malolos (2017) states that not all successful entrepreneurs have
entrepreneurship or business degrees. Oftentimes, these individuals have inherent
entrepreneurial skills, which they hone overtime to propel their business to success.
Factors such as leadership skills, creativity and problem-solving skills contribute
effectively to students’ entrepreneurial capabilities (Ramos, 2014).
Surigao Del Norte National Highschool, a school known for producing excellent
business-inclined individuals, is not an exception to this trend. We, the researchers,
transact with these student entrepreneurs on a daily basis and as a result, they have
become the subject of interest for this particular study. As students ourselves, we know
how stressful it is to manage academics alone. Hence, this reality of student life has
made us question how these particular student entrepreneurs balance their business
and personal lives. Management is defined as the judicious use of means to accomplish
an end (Merriam-Webster.com, 2018). Thus, it is this study’s purpose to investigate the
practices that student entrepreneurs from Surigao Del Norte National High school do
to control and coordinate their resources productively.
This study identified the different management practices and level of consistency
among student entrepreneurs on running their business as well as handling the varying
factors that they encounter from time to time. The coping practices of student
entrepreneurs were also highlighted in this study. This research was conducted to
identify and to analyze the different skill-related dimensions and practices of student
entrepreneurs among the selected SHS students in Surigao Del Norte National
Highschool Through qualitative inquiry, this study followed the phenomenological

design by gathering information on the lived experiences of seven student
entrepreneurs from the senior high school.
In line with this, we would also like to investigate the various aspects that student
entrepreneurs consider to effectively manage their business and other activities.
Through qualitative inquiry, we will gather all the necessary information, particularly on
the student entrepreneurs’ time management and academic management, as well as
the consistency of being a student entrepreneur. In addition, we also aim to inquire on
the management skills and techniques of student entrepreneurs who have no
entrepreneurial backgrounds, such as students belonging to other strands other than
Accountancy, Business and Management. We, the researchers, hope that the
information gathered from this study will create an impact on our lives not just in terms
of business but also in other aspects.
