ENTREP In The Time Of A Pandemic! (BEY) by Marion Kynan C. Del Rosario https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi Entrep discussion board#1 en-us 2020-10-11 11:53:03 UTC 2020-10-17 07:41:22 UTC hello@padlet.com Guide Questions: mkdelrosario https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/819578140 1. Which businesses do you think will succeed during the Pandemic?

2. What are the possible keys to success for existing businesses to survive during this Pandemic?]]> 2020-10-11 11:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/819578140 Online-Based Products and Quick-Thinking | Niño Valeriano https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827124513 I think that the online-based businesses such as group call/meeting services and streaming services are the two most successful businesses during the pandemic. These two types of businesses satisfy two very different needs. Group meeting services allow some form of social interaction and a platform to safely conduct work-from-home and online learning, while streaming services provide access to media such as film and music that gives people entertainment during an otherwise boring time at home. In my opinion, the first key to success in the pandemic is the ability to operate online. The two business types I mentioned remove the worry for safety when purchasing because they do not even need to physically interact with anyone to obtain their products. The second key to success for me is the ability to notice what people want or need during the pandemic, and acting extremely fast to be the first or most popular business to offer desired products. Analyzing the current problems, or even just the slight discomforts of consumers, creates a chance to offer a "solution" through your product.]]> 2020-10-14 01:28:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827124513 Technology and Innovation | Pia Cruz PiaCruz https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827139272 1. I think that technology will be the biggest winner in this pandemic. While it was growing steadily pre-pandemic, the new normal has highlighted how important technological advances are to help not only people, but businesses to adapt.
2. In line with my previous answer, the keys to success for a business in this pandemic are innovation, adaptability, and creativity. Technology provides an avenue by which many businesses may creatively innovate and adapt by transitioning to a more online approach to reach their consumers. The ability of a business to come up with novel ideas that help them reach customers despite physical distance.]]> 2020-10-14 01:36:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827139272 Delivery Services and Techonology kylelopez3 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827143898 2020-10-14 01:38:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827143898 Couriers and Technology | Alexandra Co (CN14) alexandraco1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827163411 1. I think couriers such as Grab, Lalamove, and Mr. Speedy are doing well in this pandemic due to the rising number of online businesses especially in the food sector . These online businesses are typically small and do not have their own same day delivery service so they heavily rely on couriers to deliver their items to the customers.

Technology is unsurprisingly also doing well in this pandemic. Video conferencing platforms, Internet providers have experienced an increasing demand over the time of the pandemic. This is because   important activities such as classes and meetings have transitioned to being held online.  


2. One key to success for businesses in this pandemic is online accessibility. This is because a lot of people still refuse to go out and do different kinds of shopping online. Many physical businesses have also made their businesses available online in order to adapt to this trend. Another one would be focusing on being able to address problems in this pandemic . A business should be able to think of new ways and solutions to solve various challenges that this pandemic has brought forth.]]> 2020-10-14 01:47:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827163411 Optical Companies | Meynard Campanilla meynardcampanilla1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827173143
  • As the vast majority of the population began working from home, the demand of technological equipment has increased as well. Most workers and students have been sitting in front of screens for long periods of time, leading to eye strains and other difficulties. Eye products and services will most probably be in demand for the purpose of providing aid and assistance for those who are having eye complications.

    1. I believe, in order for a company to be successful amidst the pandemic, one must have the values of preparedness and innovation. In times where rules upon rules of virus prevention surface in all public utilities, a company must earn the trust of its clients. This can be done by setting internal rules for your own company such as social distancing protocols, product disinfection, and client management. 
    ]]>     2020-10-14 01:52:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827173143     Tech based companies | Nico Siasoco enricosiasoco1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827180702 1. I do believe that the new normal brings many new opportunities for companies to grow and one of them is technologically and a lot of restaurants are resorting to grab delivery or food panda to be able to serve their customers. grab and other delivery services are on the rise due to the many uses it has in this new normal. Many internet services are now booming due to the many users on the internet today.
    2.  the key to success in this new normal is to adapt to it and reach your target market differently to how things were pre quarantine, this assures you that you have a way to connect your business to your customers effectively ]]>     2020-10-14 01:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827180702     Internet Service Providers (ISP) | Mark Conchada markconchada1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827192511 1. Businesses such as Online streaming services, and online shopping platforms are the types of businesses that are succeeding during the pandemic and with it comes the subscription of people into ISPs such as PLDT , Converge, and the like. ISP's has more customers due to people needing it for video conferences.

    2. In order for businesses to survive during the pandemic, businesses should have adaptability, and innovation (especially for only physical businesses) to have a presence online in order to reach more customers.]]>     2020-10-14 02:02:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827192511     On "Tech" Companies and Adaptability // Janica Abella janicaabella1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827192594 Tech companies have risen to the forefront of "essential" services, considering the new online model of both schools and companies. A "tech company" can be any company that provides services through non-physical means, like delivery apps, internet providers, and online entertainment. I believe that all of these will experience a rise in revenue, given that people are mostly confined to their houses and must resort to non-physical means to get things done.

    In the case of businesses that don't offer such (online) services, though, I believe that it is possible for them to survive if are capable of change. It is evident that now is the time for a new business model, one that suits the needs of people who are staying home, and now more than ever it's also important to market and differentiate oneself from other businesses. I believe that if a business finds its niche, it will always have a customer base, even if the product/service it offers isn't essential, so if a business markets correctly, reaches the right people with its products, it can continue to operate during the pandemic.]]>     2020-10-14 02:02:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827192594     Online Shopping Platforms and Couriers | Stacey Angeles staceyangeles1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827316456 1.  Online shopping platforms such as Zalora, Lazada and Shopee have been popular even before the pandemic started; more so now with our situation. This is because not everyone can go outside in order to shop. Along with this, these platforms are accesible as they feature user-friendly interfaces. They also sell almost any item that a person can think of, at discounted rates. Moreover,  the Cash on Delivery payment option is what also attracts people as they have assurance that their transactions are valid. Couriers are in line with this such as LBC, J&T Express, etc. as they are the delivery arms of not only companies, but even small online entrepreneurs as well. 

    2. In my opinion, one thing that businesses must have in order to survive is the ability to adapt. This applies to not only during the pandemic, but for all situations. This is because we are not always certain of future events, just like this pandemic. If businesses can't adapt, they would be left behind and beaten by their competitors. 

    ]]>     2020-10-14 03:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827316456     Online Business // Miggy Cadag miguelcadag1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827377620 Businesses who have adapted to an online setting will see success during the pandemic. As strict quarantine rules are implemented, many consumers turn to an online setting. Some examples of these are the online shops like Shopee or Lazada or even small businesses on social networking sites like Facebook and Instagram. These types of businesses appeal to the consumer's need to stay in their homes while still getting quality products.

    As mentioned above, the key to success is knowing what the consumers need and adjusting to those said needs. If people can't go out like they used to due to the pandemic, businesses should adjust to these things. To be successful, one must put the consumers first. Businesses must always adjust to the needs of the people rather than the people adjusting to the businesses' needs]]>     2020-10-14 03:46:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827377620     Courier Companies and Grocery Stores | Jermaine Ocampo jermaineocampo1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827432646 1. These businesses are a necessity in the pandemic because a lot of people are unwilling to go out in fear of the coronavirus. They would rather pay other people to do their grocery shopping and deliveries for them. Companies like Grab, Angkas, Lalamove are thriving right now because a lot of people acquire their services to be able to send things to other people or order their necessities. Big grocery stores like S&R and Landers also offer grocery deliveries to help people get their necessities in the comfort of their own home. 

    2. I think this depends on what the consumers need in these trying times. As mentioned earlier a lot of people are scared of going out because of their fear to get the coronavirus, so they hire people to do it for them. It caters to their need of getting their items from online shopping or delivering goods to other people. I really feel that for businesses to thrive in this pandemic they have to be contextualized and fit their services to cater to the current needs of their consumers. ]]>     2020-10-14 04:20:02 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827432646     Delivery Services | CN 8 Red Baldonado redbaldonado https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827500405 Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been under different kinds of quarantine with varying rules and protocols. With the excitement is these rules, movement of people have been limited and some business with non-essential products and services were forced to temporarily or permanently close. With this, online shopping has become the new trend and has been booming with sales ever since the pandemic started. Since most shops are closed and because of the fear of getting sick by going outside, consumers choose to buy products online and businesses are selling their products and services online. Delivery services are one of the most crucial and necessary part in this kind of setting. Therefore, I personally think that express delivery services are one of the successful businesses in the middle of the pandemic. 

    For different kinds of businesses to succeed and survive in the middle of the pandemic, there are some keys and factors that they must take into consideration. The first one is INNOVATION. When the pandemic started, the whole world changed; circumstances have changed, and no one expected this to happen, so no one was prepared for this kind of situation. Therefore, I think innovation of business plans are crucial to succeed in this time. Another key is UNDERSTANDING THE SITUATIONS OF YOUR TARGET MARKET AND ADAPTING TO THEIR NEEDS. Everyone's lives have changed because of the pandemic. This means that our needs also changed. With this, businesses have to adapt to these needs. ]]>     2020-10-14 04:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827500405     Businesses related to Technology and Entertainment | Waki Tajan carlostajan3 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827514089 1. Giants in the tech industry like Nvidia, AMD, and Intel as well as those from the entertainment industry such as Netflix, Disney+, Steam, and Epic Games will be earning a big amount of profit in this time of pandemic. Also, retailers and wholesalers of some of these companies will be met with an increase in sales and profit. The increase in sales is most likely to be attributed to the requirements in this new lifestyle brought about by the pandemic. Students need computers for online classes as do adults, and people need something to replace the activities they used to enjoy and keep themselves occupied due to the changes made in response to the pandemic. This is the need that has been made relevant by the pandemic and is currently being filled in by these giants.
    2. To survive this pandemic, businesses should adapt to the current needs of the people, and maximizing what means are available to them at present. To even think of adapting, managers must be open-minded and actively seeking out new opportunities to take advantage of. Along with having a good understanding of their business and its environment as well as being aware of opportunities for them to take advantage of, managers must be risk-takers in order for their business to survive and maybe even profit in this trying time.]]>     2020-10-14 05:04:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827514089     Businesses in an Online Setting | CN 5 Lauren Asica laurenasica1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827514136 1. I think businesses that have adapted to technology and online are the businesses that will definitely succeed during the pandemic due to the fact that most of the people are confined in their homes and are on their laptops, gadgets, and other technology 24/7. Examples of these are Zoom, Google (Meet), YouTube, Online Shopping platforms, Tech companies, and etc.

    2. People, most especially those who have a business, were in shock because of the sudden change in our society due to the pandemic. Because of this, I think that the keys to have a successful business that can survive this pandemic are: consistency, determination, adaptability, and innovation. Keeping all of these in mind will definitely help the business adapt to change and grow in spite of a pandemic.]]>     2020-10-14 05:04:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827514136     Delivery Services // QUINTANA cn32 ianquintana1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827595999 2020-10-14 05:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827595999 Web-based tools and services | Ella Francia CN23 ellafrancia2 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827701884 1. Which businesses do you think will succeed during the Pandemic?
    • Online tools and services such as video conference platforms, online education services and graphic design websites. This is because these businesses will become a necessity during this time when people are required to work and take classes online.

    2. What are the possible keys to success for existing businesses to survive during this Pandemic?
    • A key skill for success is possessing an inclination to digital marketing and being familiar with utilizing the different online platforms in order to sell the products of the business. As there are less and less people going to brick-and-mortar stores, businesses need to adapt and innovate accordingly. They need to be quick in finding ways in order to still be able to serve their target market before competitors inevitably find new ideas to adapt as well.

    ]]>     2020-10-14 06:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/827701884     Internet Service Providers | Javier Abes javierabes1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/828753725 1. The migration of previous on-site activities such as select businesses, offices, and schools has necessitated having a functioning internet connection. Thus, the demand for internet has dramatically increased, and with it, the amount of people scrambling to avail of internet subscriptions from Internet Service Providers such as SKY Broadband, PLDT, and Converge. 

    2. Resourcefulness and adaptability are two things that will certainly prove beneficial for business owners and businesses alike given the dire situation of our pandemic-struck country. More of a prerequisite for adaptability, resourcefulness allows businesses to take full advantage of whatever they have in order to succeed. Additionally, the ability to adapt to change will enable businesses to minimize their losses while maintaining a sustainable amount of profit. 

    ]]>     2020-10-14 14:19:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/828753725     Businesses that may Operate Online and Courier Services | CN6 Lance Aspiras lanceaspiras1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/830852937 1. Courier services and businesses that can proceed with operations from home are businesses that will succeed during the Pandemic. The video provided shows a restaurant and a brick-and-mortar business that was negatively affected by the Pandemic but was eventually able to find a new way to continue operations. Both decided to deliver their products to their customers, and it was a great success. Another business that was able affected but was able to continue operations was a gym. They decided to allow their clients to rent equipment, as well as having zoom calls to have a "synchronous work-out."

    2. I think adaptability is a key for a business to be successful during the Pandemic. The restaurant featured had difficulty since they weren't getting any customers; not only did this affect their sales, but the bulk of perishable goods they have will also go to waste. They decided to start a "supermarket" type of business, wherein they bulk-purchase fresh ingredients, and they will deliver them to their clients. Their decision resulted in success, and now their business is currently able to continue operations despite the complications brought upon by the Pandemic.]]>     2020-10-15 02:29:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/830852937     Delivery Services and Disinfectant Companies | 31 Sophia Orlanes sophiaorlanes1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/830905093 1. Community quarantine is all about social distancing and restricting the activities of all citizens. With that, delivery services, such as GrabFood, LalaMove, and J&T Express, can be seen almost everywhere at any time of the day.  Since online shopping has been the main platform in buying necessities and luxuries, may it be food, clothes, home decor, or groceries, these delivery services do all the work for the people who do not want to risk their health and to regulate the number of people going out. 

    Moreover, companies that manufacture and/or distribute disinfectants will thrive more during and even after the pandemic. Ever since the lockdown started, LGUs, establishments, and households have been constantly making efforts disinfecting every nook and cranny. Even after the pandemic, people will still be conscious of their hygiene and the “new normal” today will carry on in the coming years. Thus, the demand for disinfecting supplies is high and it will continue to be like that. 

    2. Existing businesses must learn how to adapt even if it means changing their entire business operations. No one knows how long this is going to last and certainly, the disease won’t adjust for the people. Instead, people adjust to the context that they are in. Being observant is also vital in keeping the business alive to know any potentials and make certain adjustments and improvements. Business owners must also be quick to employ these changes. This is to not let any days pass by without having any proper business operations which could eventually lead to the downfall of the entity.
    ]]>     2020-10-15 02:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/830905093     Online-based companies and well established companies | 17 Maverick Cruz maverickcruz1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831161196 1. The businesses that I think will succeed in this time of the pandemic are those who have access to digital channels and online platforms to attract their target market(e.g. Zoom, Lazada, Shopee etc.). Alongside them are those well-established companies that are financially stable and flexible enough to transition into the online and e-commerce industry(e.g Mcdonald's, jolibee etc.).
    2. The possible keys to success for businesses to survive are the owner's persistence and adaptability to change and the financial state of the company. Both keys must exist for existing businesses to continue to survive. Owners and CEOs' must look for creative ways to adapt to the changes in the economy and the behavior of their market in order to maintain, if not improve, the state of their companies. However, the financial state could be detrimental to the fall of any business because it limits all the possible options a company can do to keep it alive]]>     2020-10-15 05:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831161196     Bike Businesses | 13 Mikko Chan ralphchan1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831189842 1. For many years, bikes have always been seen as the "inferior" mode of transportation as it is seen as more taxing to operate than other forms of transportation such as the motorcycle and the car. However, with the state that we are all currently in, demand for the bike has gone significantly up and they are now being sold more than ever. 

    The reason for this is because bikes do not run on gas, are easier to maneuver, and do not require licenses to drive; therefore, becoming a more efficient and cheaper alternative to taking public transport or using motorized vehicles in this day and age.

    2. Being able to efficiently adjust to sudden changes in the market and the environment are qualities of a good businessman and a successful business. That is why it is important for existing businesses to become more flexible or learn how to expand to other markets. By becoming flexible, businesses will be able to thrive and not limit themselves by changing and adapting to the current status quo whenever the need arises.]]>     2020-10-15 05:35:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831189842     Well established companies | 28 Cody Pe codype1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831230960 1. I think that the businesses that would succeed during the pandemic would be the companies that were already well established before the company and companies that are able to adapt to the situation. Examples of Well established companies would be Mcdo, jollibee, and etc.. 

    2. I think that the possible keys to success during the pandemic would be adaptability and resourcefulness. I believe that these two traits would be the key to succeeding during the pandemic. Being adaptable during the pandemic would help because most sales require it to be sold online so a company would need to be able to adapt to the online setting. Aside from that, resourcefulness would allow the business to take full advantage of the current situation to be able to help their company succeed.]]>     2020-10-15 05:55:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831230960     Digital Device Companies | 19 Bernice Lim bernicelim1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831246732 1. Due to the pandemic, people cannot go out and has to do almost every single task on their device. Using gadgets is the only way a person can communicate with the "outside world". Almost all of the companies have their employees work from home. Schools also have their students learn from each of their own homes. We are already living in a digital world, however the situation that was brought about by this pandemic has made digital devices an absolute necessity.

    2. The only way for companies to continue their existing businesses and not to lose out is to adapt to the market. Companies would have to innovate and adjust to the needs of this new environment. Most businesses have already established their own digital platforms while some haven't adapted yet. Those who has not adapted to the digital world will need to change their strategies as soon as possible. Not being able to adapt will result in a loss for the business.]]>     2020-10-15 06:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831246732     Online Shopping Platforms | 39 Mugi Vengco miguelvengco1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831258767 1. The pandemic forced everyone into their homes, and people have been advised to physically distance them from the outside world. This led to brick and mortar stores being inaccessible, meaning most purchases would have to be made online. This is where the online shopping platforms come in, multiple stores, such as Target and Walmart, have shifted to the online setting to keep the business going. Whereas preexisting online shopping platforms such as Amazon prospered and thrived through the pandemic.

    2. A key to success is learning and being able to adapt to current times, in this case the pandemic. Given that the market would have limited choices, it must be attended to that the business adjust to whatever situation they would be in, for the company to be able to get through it.]]>     2020-10-15 06:09:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831258767     Businesses which provide on-demand products | 4 Jaime Angeles jaimeangeles1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831286044 1. Businesses that will either survive or even benefit from the pandemic are those that provide goods and services required for individuals and other businesses to adapt to the new age. These products include: technological equipment, personal protective equipment, foods and services, and home entertainment. These businesses will either survive or prosper since the demand for their products are quickly rising.

    2. The key for businesses to survive this pandemic is proper planning. Not all businesses are capable of adapting to the online-setting, so the implementation of a good strategic plan is necessary in order to minimize the damage. For businesses that are capable, or even better off adapting to the new online-setting, then proper planning is necessary in maximizing revenue.]]>     2020-10-15 06:21:51 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831286044     Businesses that Provide their Products Online or through Courier Services | BEY CN 19 Boj Dato andresdato1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831505267 1. As I have seen throughout the pandemic, businesses that provide entertainment, promote a healthy lifestyle individually and socially, deliver their products all in people's homes have the most successful during these difficult times. Since people have been advised to stay at home for an extended amount of time, they have looked into the products and services of these types of businesses in order to get that sense of normalcy before the pandemic.

    2. The most important things that businesses should be able to do during these times are to adapt and to plan and innovate in a way that still complies with the safety of the people. They should be able to adapt since it is obvious that "online" has been the new normal for businesses since the implementation of quarantine. But since many businesses have caught on, it's also important to innovate in order to stand out and attract the consumers.]]>     2020-10-15 08:02:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831505267     Restaurants that have Delivery Services | 28 Lucas Lim lucaslim3 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831758487 1. Because of the pandemic, people aren't allowed to get together at certain places or restaurants and must stay quarantined at home to be safe from the COVID-19. People then tend to miss the food cooked in certain restaurants. The businesses that will succeed during this pandemic are those that have delivery services.

    2. I believe that the possible keys to success for businesses to survive during pandemic is the ability to adapt to a new norm. During a pandemic, people aren't allowed to go out which means they would resort to online shopping. Businesses then should be able to adapt to online selling to be able to continue earning minimal profit and not continually get a loss.]]>     2020-10-15 10:16:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/831758487     Businesses Which Are Online In Nature | 12-BEYZYM | NEMESIO JUSTINE TORRES nemesiotorres1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834141750 1.) The successful businesses online that were eye-catching to me were those businesses that were online in nature or that those businesses intended to be online in the first place. So, the usual online in nature that are well-known are those that sell online even before the pandemic, those that are streaming platforms like Netflix or Crunchyroll, or something like Google Meet, Zoom, and Cisco WebEx, whose value increased tremendously because of their online nature. However, the success is not only limited to these products. the online gaming industry had seen its fair share of success during pandemic because of people's boredom. Many games like Among Us, Minecraft, and League of Legends had increased sales and increased viewership on Twitch, YouTube, and Facebook, which could be attributed to the pandemic.

    2.) Although I said that in my previous answer that businesses that are online in nature would succeed, it is not always the case. Physical businesses usually have to adapt and transition to online, but for online businesses, they have to set themselves apart from their competitors. Take a look at the case of Skype. Even though Skype was one of the premier video calling tools before the pandemic, it did not take long for Zoom to overtake that spot because of Skype's failure to innovate during the pandemic.

    Simply adapting or going online won't necessarily save your business. You also have to innovate to differentiate your competitors that likely have transitioned as well.]]>     2020-10-15 22:29:09 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834141750     Business that provide sanitation/disinfectants | Lance Calma 12 - BEY lancematthewcalma https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834304554 I think that disinfectant businesses like those that sell alcohol, disinfectant cleaners, etc. will thrive during the pandemic due to the fact that they are in high demand. People obviously want to protect themselves from the virus and with no vaccine available yet, this along with masks are their best bets.

    I think a key factor for existing businesses to survive this pandemic is really focusing on their social media reach. Since everyone is at home, obviously they would be on their devices a whole lot, so if companies maximize their online reach, then maybe the people at home can see their ads etc etc and be enlightened to purchase from them.]]>     2020-10-16 00:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834304554     Businesses that are not hindered by an online platform | Rap Del Valle 12-BEY enricodelvalle1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834310035 1. I think businesses that mainly focus on things like e-commerce or delivery are likely to thrive during the pandemic. This is due to the fact that quarantine leaves demand in a twilight zone that allows the first and best delivery services to swoop in to cooperate with businesses and take advantage of that rise in demand. Businesses that can only function with brick and mortar stores, or things in that same line of business, are likely to see problems in finance.

    2. A few key factors that allow existing businesses to survive and thrive in this pandemic are the capability to adapt, realize new opportunities, and understand the restrictions of the online environment. I believe that if a company can't realize that its current strategies may fail, that quarantine is not only a limitation, but a whole new playing field, and the fact that being online means a plethora of things for marketing and sales. Moreover, since this is a time of innovation for many people, it is likely that the market will see an increase in the intensity of competition, and businesses must be ready for that.]]>     2020-10-16 00:24:12 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834310035     Businesses that are online based, as well as businesses that have products that are essential during the pandemic gabrielluisdejesus1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834314962 1.  Businesses that function in an online setting are able to keep running, even with the quarantine preventing people from exiting the house. Along with this, like the video said, businesses like zoom for online meetings, or computer businesses will be able to thrive due to the growing need for their products and services.

    2. I think that one key to success would be being able to adapt to the online setting, due to this platform being the new normal platform for purchasing goods and services. If a business were not able to adapt, there would simply be no hope for the business to continue as there wouldn't be a way to actually make purchases from the store.]]>     2020-10-16 00:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834314962     Businesses that tend to the necessities of people without giving them the inconvenience of going out - 6 Renzo Basiao renzobasiao1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834521177
  • Businesses that are online based or tend to the necessities of people without giving them the inconvenience of going outside will succeed during the pandemic. Businesses such as Zoom, Netflix, Grab, Lalafood, Youtube, and many more are some examples of businesses that have increased shares during this pandemic. These businesses are essential now more than ever because it tends to the necessities of people without giving them the inconvenience of going out such as food, entertainment, and a platform for meetings job related or school related. 
  • A key success that I think is essential now is being able to adapt to the pandemic situation. Being close minded and thinking of the “old normal” is not how businesses should operate due to the drastic change in times. Instead businesses should adapt quickly to the pandemic situation and develop ideas in order for pursue people that they are still important even in the pandemic.

Businesses such as streaming services and online education apps are booming right now since they cater to exactly what consumers need at this moment. Consumers are able to receive the services to the consumers from the comfort of their own home which is exactly what businesses should all strive to achieve right now. On the other hand, there are also businesses that do have brick and mortar stores who were still able to adjust such as restaurants that focused their efforts into providing delivery services. Lastly, businesses such as airlines and movie theaters are struggling right now and are having a hard time adjusting to the current situation due to their reliance on having groups of people together.

    2. The key to success for me would be for businesses to have an online platform in which they could still provide their services. Some may have already had these in place even before the pandemic while others should find a way to adjust to it or else their businesses would almost surely fail.]]>     2020-10-16 02:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834569006     Tech Companies | 7 Alphonso Baizas josebaizas1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834596630 1. Due to the transition to online schooling and the implementation of work-from-home, companies like Asus, Acer, etc, will experience a boost in sales due to customers needing equipment for their tasks. Other companies such as Nvidia and AMD will also see an increase in sales due to people wanting to have a pastime, therefore purchasing parts in order to build a gaming pc.

    2. One key to success amidst this pandemic is to stay relevant. This is done by adapting to certain events and delivering what the consumers need the most. If companies maximized and prioritized their advertising costs, then they would attract more exposure in order to stay relevant. ]]>     2020-10-16 02:50:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834596630     Businesses with delivery services | 22 Diego Dumlao diegodumlao1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834599988 1. I think businesses that are now shifting towards a delivery-based service will succeed this pandemic. These businesses include the food and beverage industry (restuarants), online shopping industry, courier services, etc. 
    2. One possible key to success in this situation is to always keep the the workplace and all operations clean in order to acquire customer satisfaction. It is important to implement measures that will ensure the cleanliness and safety of the products and services, making sure that they are virus-free. In summary, a company must always be ready with an emergency response in the event that the business faces a crisis, an know how to adapt to its environment.

Online streaming services (e.g. YouTube, Crunchyroll, Netflix, iflix, Hulu), video game companies (e.g. EA, Riot Games, Tencent, Epic Games, miHoYo), and stores that have set-up an online shops are the types of businesses that have succeeded and are currently dominating the market as of now. Due to the pandemic, people are forced to stay at home with little or nothing to do, which leads to immense boredom. Therefore, more and more people are transitioning to making use of the internet for their daily needs such as groceries, entertainment, food, etc.

    2.) One way that could lead to a successful business during the pandemic is to turn digitization into an advantage. Instead of trying to figure out how to make money off of your physical stores, make use of the resources that are available to you. More people started using gadgets and the internet even more during the pandemic, therefore it would be a smart idea to take advantage of this knowledge by setting up an online store and advertising your business in social media platforms.]]>     2020-10-16 02:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834604703     Delivery Services | 24 Monica Gallardo monicagallardo1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834935624
  • Given that we must maintain minimal physical contact at all times, majority of the population has resorted to having products delivered straight to their houses - gadgets and additional accessories needed for online school and employees working from home, groceries and other essentials, clothing, etc. Most businesses have already adapted to the online setting and utilize the most effective platform to advertise - social media - and as a result, many have taken advantage of the ease and accessibility of buying products from the comfort of our own homes without compromising our health.
  • The possible keys to success for existing businesses to survive during this Pandemic are probably adaptability, innovation, and creativity. In terms of adaptability, it is evident that many brick-and-mortar shops have transitioned to an online setting due to social distancing protocols and the difficulty that comes with shopping in physical stores. Without adaptability, it would be hard for entrepreneurs to find a way to sustain themselves during this pandemic. Innovation is also needed as many business-owners have also had to find different ways to make their products or services still appealing to the public as our needs have changed. Lastly, it takes a lot of creativity to come up with services that people would actually be drawn towards given that not a lot of people are receiving much income.

Because of the uncertainty regarding the current situation and lockdown protocols all round the world, online meetings have been used increasingly to substitute for real life interactions. Meetings, classes, competitions, and even just casual interactions now take place in an online setting. This means that companies like Zoom, Google Meets, Skype, and others are now apps that you would find on almost every person's devices.

    2. I think that the most important thing for businesses right now is digitization and going online. We connect with the rest of the world and the shops that we used to visit through social media or other platforms now. Being easily accessible through online means and having good marketing online is essential to surviving in this pandemic.]]>     2020-10-16 07:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834957225     Online Entertainment Companies | Pio Lingao | 21 | Bobola piolingao1 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834992379 1. I think online-based entertainment sites such as Youtube and Netflix will succeed more in this time of pandemic. As seen, they render services which don't involve people going out of their houses. Furthermore, they have become a lot of people's source of entertainment during this period of quarantine and lockdown around the world.
    2. One key to success for a business to survive during this pandemic is its adaptability. If it knows how to adapt to the current situation, then it will be able to survive. Another would be the business' resourcefulnes and ability to make do with what it has. ]]>     2020-10-16 08:02:37 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/834992379     Delivery Service Businesses | 35 Katrina Soraino | 12-Beyzym isabellesoriano2 https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/835512823 1. Since visiting groceries and local markets highly increase the risks of catching the virus, a lot of people choose to have their purchases delivered to their respective homes. Because of this, companies or businesses that provide delivery services (ex. J&T, GoGoExpress, Entrego, etc.) will be of great service to the people during this quarantine.

    2. I think that one key to the success of a busines amidst the pandemic is to really focus on the essentials and what is needed by the people. Before starting a business, one must truly observe his surroundings in order to really ponder on whether or not it is really essential. At this time of crisis, a lot of people try to avoid spending for unnecessary items since surgical masks and other sanitary products are pricy. In order for a business to grow, make sure that what is being sold is something that the people need.]]>     2020-10-16 13:33:34 UTC https://padlet.com/mkdelrosario/riasc4gs90zmbwsi/wish/835512823
