Description
INTRODUCTION The woman entrepreneur in our story is of Asian origin. Why does the origin of the entrepreneur matter? Family dynamics, flexibility and continuous improvement (Schutte, Ciarlante, 1998) seem among other Asian behavioral practices the most relevant to explain her entrepreneurship. She is a 42 year old Filipina, born and raised on an island in Micronesia. Her mother was her inspiration, and the entrepreneur inherited her mother's drive and pugnacious temperament. Her mother was an entrepreneur at an early age, her entrepreneurship was born from the necessity to support her large family. Her mother was the oldest daughter of eight of a very poor family in the Philippines. She picked flowers at 4:00am and sewed them to make lei's. She then went to the bus station to sell them to vacationers and tourists so as to pay for her bus ride up to the mountains. There she sold more lei's enough to buy food and pay for her ticket back home. She continued this "business" until she got married and moved to an island in Micronesia. To support her family while living on the island, she worked in the bar at night as a bartendress and made food and sold it at a hotdog stand during the day. She rarely slept more than four hours per night. She died at the age of 49.
