DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the discussion of the results of the study as well as the implications for

future research which are anchored on the results of the investigation.

EXPERIENCES OF GRADE 11 SECTION HUMSS AND TVL STUDENTS

For the first research question, there are three (3) major themes generated: Conduction without

background, A toxic member, and Burnt out.

Conduction without background

One of the themes in the study is the Conduction without background when students engage in

conducting a business plan. Most of the participants in the study have shared that without any

ides or experience in having business plan is difficult.

Every person working a 9-to-5 job with a small capital may eventually come across this dilemma: I want to start a

business but have no ideas. Perhaps you got your tax return or a bonus check, and want to put that money to good

use - but what should you do? We live in a world where opportunities are everywhere. The problem is that when you

have that many options, it may be difficult to narrw them down just to one. (Smery, 2023)

A toxic member

Another theme generated for the experiences is a toxic member. Most of the participants most of
the participants said that based on their experience as a team leader, conducting a business plan
cannot be done by only one person; it requires teamwork. To stand as a group leader, they must be
the first to initiate actions, followed by the members. Leaders are looking for responsible team
members to work together on a group task. It could be hard for the leaders to take on all the
responsibilities that belong to the members. The route forward is evident if you are the team leader.
You must be aware of what is taking place on the team and hold the toxic team member accountable
for their actions. You cannot put up with someone acting in a way that detracts from the team's
performance, results, technical skills, raw intelligence, or priceless experience.

Lately, we have been hearing a lot from our clients about “toxic” coworkers and teammates. This
issue isn’t new; there have been bad coworkers since the beginning of organized work. But these
days, their impact feels bigger and more destructive. Businesses need teamwork to function. And
teams need to be more collaborative, adaptable, and proactive than ever. The days of top-down
decision making are long gone in many companies and industries, as it’s replaced by grassroots
innovation that’s unleashed through coworkers openly networking and sharing information across
boundaries. Because of this new dynamic, dysfunctional teammates can damage the results of a
whole team in a way that was much harder to do in the old, siloed models of working.

The most common and destructive toxic behaviors we see include:

•backstabbing, criticizing, and blaming

•gossiping and spreading rumors

•agreeing in meetings, but not following through afterward

•hoarding information

•purposely undermining others

•caring only about personal agendas (over team and company goals)

Thus, one toxic team member is all it takes to destroy a high-performing team. (Chavez, 2018).

Burn out

Another term generated on the experiences is the Burnt out. Most of the participants
mentioned that they are drained and struggled which caused them to burn out. Burnt
out is kind of feeling, like you are empty, devoid of motivation, mentally exhausted, and etc. And
being burnt out is not easy because you are thinking negative, and your negative thoughts are
greater than the positive and you will lose hope of finishing something because you will lose the will
to finish what you are doing.

Being a business owner is exciting. But it also comes with some other not-so-exciting things, like the
dreaded burnout (aka, exhaustion). And if you’re not careful, burnout can kill your business. If you’re
starting to feel swamped and aren’t sure what to do to get back on track, I’m here to help you with a
few tips I’ve learned along the way. (Kappel, 2022)

Therefore, conducting business plan created burn out. It stresses everyone in the group especially
those who made all of the work in regard to the paper. Though business plan is the foundation of the
business you are going to create, it takes time to make and such an effort to build ideas and ways to
manage your business.
COPING MECHANISM OF GRADE 11 SECTION HUMSS AND TVL STUDENTS

On the other hand, there are three (3) major themes generated under research
question number two (2): Seek information about conducting business plan,
Teamwork and collaboration, Persistence during the conduction.

The following are the coping mechanisms drawn from the participants in order to
overcome the challenge of the said phenomenon.

Seek information about conducting business plan

One of the major themes generated on research question number two (2) is seek
information about conducting business plan. Most of the participants are asking for
help to gain ideas in conducting a business plan . Seeking information about how business
plan works by the help of people who already know the background and the steps of creating a
business plan is more helpful. In the help of experts many students who conduct their business plan
make it easy, they've encounter a lot of struggles but they can easily come up the problems. This
state that conducting business plan is easy by the help of experts and the help of internet.

When you approach someone, be realistic about what they can offer you. A busy CEO probably won’t
have time to help you draft a business plan, but they can review a draft and offer advice on a section,
for instance. Don’t ask for more guidance than a person can feasibly give you. “When it comes to
how to ask for help in business, make sure you accommodate the other person’s schedule, make
yourself accessible, and have everything they need to complete the task at hand,” wrote
entrepreneur Marcus Lemonis. CO—is committed to helping you start, run and grow your small
business. (Heaslip,2022)

Teamwork and collaboration

Another major theme generated for the second research question in coping mechanism is teamwork
and collaboration. Most of the participants said that their only way to survive is to help each other so
they can work together on tasks. Teammates refers to the group of people working together to
achieve a common goal. Consciously defining each person's role, their responsibilities and success
criteria within the team can have an instant positive impact. It ensures that: Everyone knows what
they're doing. It sounds simple, but when roles are clear, people know what's expected of them, how
to behave and what they need to accomplish. Collaboration improves the way your teammates work
together to finish the problem and to solves those challenges. This leads to more innovation,
efficient processes, increased success, and improved communication. Through listening to and
learning from team members, you can help each other reach your goals.

Tuckman’s Theory gives a solid idea of what most teams go through. If you are putting together a
team to work on a project then it can be helpful to have an idea of what to expect. By studying this
theory and being able to spot the stages in real life, you can prepare yourself for what lies ahead and
how best to tackle it. (Tuckman,2021)

Persistence during the conduction


Another major theme generated in coping mechanism is persistence during the conduction. Most of
the participants pushed themselves to be more productive and the perseverance in making up the
business planning.

Entrepreneurial persistence is demonstrated by an entrepreneur’s continued positive maintenance


of entrepreneurial motivation and constantly renewed active engagement in a new business venture
despite counterforces or enticing alternatives. It thus is a crucial factor for entrepreneurs when
pursuing and exploiting their business opportunities and in realizing potential economic gains and
benefits. (Caliendo, 2019)

INSIGHT OF GRADE 11 SECTION HUMSS AND TVL STUDENTS

Research question number three (3) highlighted the insights gained from the
phenomenon. There are three (3) major themes emerged under insights namely:
Amateur’s hindrances, Risk taking, Possibilities in the future.

Amateur’s hindrances

One of the major theme generated in the insight is Amateur’s hindrances. Most of the
participant are having a hard time on working because its their first time to conduct a
business plan.

Being an entrepreneur is a dream to which many people aspire, and a worthwhile financial goal. Still,
many first-time business owners, and even experienced pros, can sabotage their best efforts through
typical mistakes. When you're ready to roll-up your sleeves and start your own business, keep your
eyes open for these four issues. Though they might sound simple, these have been make-or-break
issues for the fortunes of countless aspiring entrepreneurs. (Alvarez, 2020)

Risk taking

Another theme generated is risk taking. Risk taking is any consciously or non-consciously
controlled behavior with a perceived uncertainty about its outcome, and/or about its possible
benefits or costs for the physical, economic or psycho-social well-being of oneself or others. Failed
risks aren't always negative. Sometimes, they provide the most valuable business lessons an
entrepreneur can learn. Failure helps shape future business strategies and can eventually lead to
business growth.

Every entrepreneur and small business owner has a different reason for wanting to start their own
business. That means that you and every other entrepreneur are deciding to take different risks
specific to your idea. However, the actual reason why entrepreneurs decide to take risks can be
narrowed down to the following five reasons.

1. You will never know unless you try Nobody can really be sure if risks will pay off, no matter how
calculated they may be. But this should not stop you from taking risks. If you want your business to
succeed, risks are necessary. According to a quote by Frederick Wilcox, “Progress always involves
risks. You can’t steal second base and keep your foot on first.”
2. You learn from taking risks Some risks may not pay off, but an optimistic risk-taker will always look
at failure as an opportunity to learn. Social Media Examiner owner Michael Stelzner writes that the
willingness to experiment with new ideas is key to business growth. As he puts it, “nothing ventured,
nothing gained.” (Genever, 2021)

Possibilities in the future

Another theme generated for coping mechanism is possibilities in the future. Even if you are
currently a student and uncertain about your future career path, developing a business plan can still
be valuable. It allows you to explore your entrepreneurial potential, refine your ideas, and gain a
deeper understanding of various business aspects. It can also serve as a valuable learning
experience, helping you develop skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, and strategic planning,
which are applicable in many professional contexts. conducting a business plan is a proactive step
that can provide to us with a structured framework for success, regardless of whether you decide to
pursue a business venture in the future or utilize the skills and knowledge gained in other areas of
your life.

We were so caught up in the daily operation of our business. Yet, we also realized the need for
dedicated time to think more deeply about our futures. Thinking about the future of your business in
an organized manner is essential to growing your small business. Although it won’t allow you to
predict the future, it empowers you to shape your future. (Synnovatia,2023)

Therefore, creating a successful and effective business plan will open new possibilities and chances in
the future. By fully knowing how to make a plan that will be the reason for the growth of your
business plan, it will open more possibilities and opportunities.

Implications

The purpose of planning is to develop a blueprint for growing a business. The management team
creates a vision for a larger, more profitable company. The heart of the planning process is
envisioning the actions that must be taken, and the expenditures that must be made, to accelerate
the company’s growth. Effective planning requires an attitude of never being satisfied with the
company’s current performance. A basic principle of planning is that a company’s future is to a great
extent in its own hands.

Discovering Opportunities Businesses grow by uncovering opportunities to acquire additional


customers and increase market share. Planning encourages creative strategic thinking, a mindset of
continually seeking out emerging markets for the company’s existing products and services. Planning
also encourages innovation, finding new products or services that the company could offer to the
marketplace.

Resource Management Growing a business requires deploying resources in a manner that maximizes
revenues. Planning involves making decisions about the best possible uses for the company’s
resources, which include people, capital, productive capacity and brand recognition. Companies do
not have unlimited resources. Planning provides the information the management team needs to
prioritize expenditures. Planning also helps a company avoid making poor strategic choices, such as
wasting resources on entering markets where competitors have an insurmountable advantage.
Conclusion

This study explored the experiences of HUMSS and TVL students specifically in cookery in conducting
business plan. Participants share their experiences and insight about it, and what their ways to cope
up the problems that they could encounter in the midst of creating business plan. In this statement
we gathered a lot of information about how they manage the situations and how the cooperation
works in every members of the groups.

This study attempted to explore the experiences of HUMSS/TVL using the Qualitative Study of

seven Senior High School students at Carmen National High School. Findings revealed that the

section HUMSS/TVL have experience hurdles in conducting business plan. However, their coping

mechanism to their experience is to instill discipline and get help from others who has idea or

knowledge regarding the conduction of business plan. Furthermore, are the insights of the

students on how their experience help them or affect them in the future situations.

One of the themes in the study is the Conduction without background when students engage in

conducting a business plan. Most of the participants in the study have shared that without any
