using the John Kingdon (1984) Policy Entrepreneurship Theory which tells about

influencing the society by creating opportunities and promoting desired policy.

Moreover, this study aims to contribute to the understanding of the influence of

government policies on entrepreneurial activities and innovation outcomes in the

Sampol market. The findings will be relevant to policymakers, entrepreneurs, and

researchers interested in promoting entrepreneurship and innovation in the

Sampol Market.

Background of the Study

Entrepreneurship has always been a field of uncertainty, with no

guaranteed outcomes or fixed rules to follow. To be an entrepreneur, one must

be able and willing to find comfort in the unpredictability of the business world.

(Szostak, L. 2023 Forbes site). According to the article of SCISPACE

government policy has both positive and negative effects on small businesses.

For the positive side it may relate to entrepreneurship growth and development

which can create a supportive culture between the private and public sectors. In

contrast, it can give a negative side because of higher federal regulations that

can be found to reduce the total number of small firms which can decrease the

output share of small firms. Overall, government policies play a vital role when it

comes to shaping the growth and performance of small businesses, those

policymakers should consider the impact of the policies that they create to every

sector.

Entrepreneurial activities may influence economic performance by

bringing new products, methods and production processes to the market.

Moreover, entrepreneurial activity is defined as “the enterprising human action in

pursuit of the generation of value, through the creation or expansion of economic

activity, by identifying and exploiting new products, processes or markets”

(OECD, 2007). For innovation it can lead to increased productivity that

encourages professionals to see their ideas being implemented. As the

innovation generates throughout the market it can give better output and raise

more goods and services that may result in economic development and growth.

Adopting the entrepreneurship and innovation idea can affect the rate of

technological change and structural transformation of the economy in the

business industry. It can also help the entrepreneurs to get some opportunities

and face some challenges for them to prove that they can do and survive

everything.

Government Intervention is a regulatory action taken by the government to

seek some decisions that are made by individuals, groups and organizations to

have changes when it comes to the economy. Moreover, the government

intervenes with the marketers to promote fair competition among the businesses.

Governments intervene in markets to address inefficiency. In an optimally

efficient market, resources are perfectly allocated to those that need them in the

amounts they need. In inefficient markets that is not the case; some may have

too much of a resource while others do not have enough. Inefficiency can take
 Colegio de San Gabriel Arcangel, Inc.

many different forms. The government tries to combat these inequities through

regulation, taxation, and subsidies. Most governments have any combination of

four different objectives when they intervene in the market. (saylor.org, 2021).

Implement Policy

These are some existing policies that are implemented among the

policymakers. How it may affect the business or the market.

Foreign Investment Act - As a general rule, there are no restrictions on

the extent of foreign ownership of export enterprises. In domestic market

enterprises, foreigners can invest as much as one hundred percent (100%)

equity except in areas included in the negative list.

Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives for Enterprises Act - Republic

Act No. 11534, otherwise known as the “Corporate Recovery and Tax Incentives

for Enterprises” (CREATE) Act is the second package of the Comprehensive Tax

Reform Program that reduces corporate Income tax rates. It provides other tax

relief measures that will help businesses, particularly those organized as

corporations (including One Person Corporations) recover from the effects of the

pandemic as well as measures that will rationalize the grant of fiscal incentives to

targeted investors.

Philippine Competition Act - The Philippine Competition Act (PCA) or

R.A. 10667 is the primary competition law of the Philippines for promoting fair

competition in the marketplace and protecting the well-being of consumers in the

process. It is a game-changing legislation envisioned to improve consumer

 Colegio de San Gabriel Arcangel, Inc.

City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, Philippines

protection and help accelerate investments and job creation in the country,

consistent with the national government’s goal of creating more inclusive

economic growth.

Barangay Micro Business Enterprises Act - The “BMBEs Act of 2002”

encourages the formation and growth of barangay micro business enterprises by

granting them incentives and other benefits.

Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines - Republic Act 11232, or

the Act Providing for the Revised Corporation Code of the Philippines, was

signed into law by President Rodrigo R. Duterte on 21 February 2019. It amends

a 38-year-old Corporation Code in an effort to improve the ease of doing

business in the Philippines.

The purpose of this study is to explore and know what are the possible

effects of policies in some businesses. If some of them are negative or positive to

the current situation of businesses in the Sampol Market. The researchers want

to assess the effectiveness of these policies once they are put into practice,

including the barriers, factors and facilitators to have successful implementation.

Moreover, this study wants to know if those inputs and outputs can allocate those

funds for businesses, does it create good outcomes such as job creation,

economic growth and technological advancement? This may also provide long

term effects on how the policies affect the sustainability and growth of startup

business and innovative ventures over time. Lastly, the study may examine the

extent of current policies if those will benefit some sectors in the society. It clearly

state the objectives of the study to monitor and assess the effectiveness of

current policies, identify best practices, propose policy recommendations, do

some action plan on how to help small businesses, and evaluate the impact of

policy changes on entrepreneurial activities and innovation outcomes.

Theoretical Framework

This study is supported by the policy entrepreneurship theory, which was

developed by John Kingdon (1984) It makes use of creative thinking and

unconventional tactics to impact society, generate possibilities, and advance

desired policy results. The theory of policy entrepreneurship suggests that

individuals or groups can influence the development and implementation of

public policies by identifying opportunities, mobilizing resources, and advocating

for change.

Supporting entrepreneurship by the government is crucial if we are to

continue expanding in a sustainable manner. Thus, to stimulate economic

growth, we must support small and medium-sized enterprises, add to the

employment force, and assist individuals in conserving money. Several studies

have explored the impact of government policies on entrepreneurship and the

broader economy (Obaji & Olugu, 2014; Dutz. Ordover, & Willig, 2000; Daunfeldt,

Elert, & Johansson, 2014).

Furthermore, According to Peter Drucker (1985) entrepreneur and

entrepreneurship as a person who looks for change, responds to the change and
 Colegio de San Gabriel Arcangel, Inc.
Founded 1993
City of San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, Philippines

seeks to exploit the opportunities. The major unique point from the opportunity

construct of Drucker is that entrepreneurs have more eyes for opportunities they

see more than the problems. Stevenson concludes that entrepreneurs seek to

exploit every available opportunity without paying much attention to resources

currently being controlled by the entrepreneur (1990).

The connection lies in the potential role of policy entrepreneurs in

identifying the need for government policies that can enhance entrepreneurial

activities and innovation outcomes in the Sampol Market. These entrepreneurs

may work to develop an action plan that recommends specific policy changes to

support businesses in the market, thereby serving as drivers of policy change

and fostering a more conducive environment for entrepreneurship and

innovation.

Tan, Tiffany Adelaine, et al. (2021) This study examined entrepreneurship

from the perspective of entrepreneurs, focusing on the factors that helped them

launch their companies. Purposive and snowball sampling were utilized to

choose 124 business owners of micro, small, and medium-sized firms, who were

then asked to participate in a semi-structured survey. The data was analyzed

using cross-tabulation, logistic regression, odds ratio, and the Mann-Whitney U

test. The findings show that people who intended to start their own businesses

and those who did not share traits in terms of personality, educational

background, and social support system. These results emphasize the

significance of having self-assurance, drawing motivation from prosperous

businesspeople, and being a part of a peer group involved in the industry. The

findings also show that the entrepreneurs' good network and social support serve

as a catalyst for their confidence to launch their enterprises. The drive is strong

enough to overcome their perceived barriers to entrepreneurship, which include a

lack of funding and government assistance. This study looks at a number of

variables, including personality, college degree, and social support and network,

that motivated people in Cebu to pursue entrepreneurship. The purpose of the

article is to learn from the entrepreneurs themselves about the problems that

fueled their entrepreneurial spirit.

Rivera, John Paolo, and Brian Gozun (2019) Youth have made up the bulk

of the unemployed population in the Philippines for many years. This makes it

necessary to develop laws and initiatives that would encourage young Filipinos to

start their own businesses. Determine the marginal effects of a multinomial

logistic regression that highlight how involvement in government-sponsored

programs influences a youth’s propensity to be entrepreneurial using the

Community Based Monitor System survey on Accelerated Poverty Profiling

among De La Salle Philippines member schools. The findings point to a

framework for strengthening policy implementation and program design to

encourage young people to pursue entrepreneurial endeavors. The result is that

employment and entrepreneurship were high. Assistance programs can lower

unemployment and raise the likelihood of entrepreneurship and employment.

Nevertheless, there hasn't been a noticeable rise in the number of entrepreneurs

despite the intended benefits of entrepreneurial training. This is the opportunity

cost of hiring seasonal, temporary, and short-term workers, which makes

entrepreneurship unprofitable.

Muhammad Akram Malik et al. (2023) Entrepreneurship combines with the

capacity to apply innovation, create jobs, and attract the interest of global

policymakers. Comprehensive investigation was deemed required because the

influence of government programs is also dependent on several elements, such

as the economic, cultural, and societal conditions of different countries. Thus, the

purpose of this study was to investigate how government assistance initiatives

and policies affect the development and activity of entrepreneurship. The data for

the study was gathered from available sources using a systematic literature

review design, which provided the basis for the study’s conclusions. Three

databases—ResearchGate, Taylor & Francis, Wiley, Elsevier (Science Direct),

Scopus, and ProQuest—were used to gather the data. The research works

released since 2017 were chosen in order to guarantee the validity of the results.

The results of the comprehensive literature studies demonstrated that the

government plays a significant role by recognizing market trends and issues and

offering viable solutions to new and developing companies. Because government

policies do not take into account the needs of small firms, they may also have a

negative effect on entrepreneurial activities. The governments of less developed

nations may also encounter difficulties because of their restricted budgetary

plans, which prevent them from supporting small businesses.

Temitope T. (2024) The function of government policy is critical in

government policies affect entrepreneurship and the financial results that follow.

The study demonstrated the beneficial relationship between entrepreneurship

and economic growth, emphasizing the critical role that supportive government

policies have in fostering the rise of entrepreneurship. It also laid the groundwork

for future studies on entrepreneurial practices and policies. Information was

gathered through content analysis of secondary sources, conceptual

clarifications, and empirical research. Because of this, research on how

government policies affect entrepreneurship and economic growth is crucial,

having consequences for decision-makers in government, business owners, and

the growth of the global economy. The results show that governments can take

action to lower corporate expenses, encourage company growth, and lighten

regulatory burdens. In addition, legislators must to carefully consider the

advantages of adding more tax-funded government initiatives while

simultaneously considering the possible drawbacks of slower economic

expansion and less entrepreneurial endeavors.

Gwen Grecia-de Vera (2018) The intricate relationship between the

growth of micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in the Philippines

and the role of competition law, particularly under the Philippine Competition Act

(PCA). It highlights the importance of creating an enabling environment for the

development and competitiveness of the MSME sector, which plays a significant

role in the country's economy.

The Philippine government has been actively implementing policies and

programs to support the growth of small businesses, recognizing their substantial

contribution to employment generation and export activities. Despite these

efforts, there are persistent challenges hindering the sector's full potential. The

2017–2022 Philippine Development Plan emphasizes key areas such as access

 Colegio de San Gabriel Arcangel, Inc.

to finance, financial literacy, and technology as crucial for MSME development.

The article suggests that competition policy, as articulated in the PCA, could

serve as a strategic intervention to further enhance the competitiveness of

MSMEs. By examining competition issues affecting the sector and drawing

insights from similar jurisdictions, the analysis aims to guide the enforcement of

the PCA in a manner that aligns with both MSME policy objectives and

competition policy goals.The article is structured to provide a comprehensive

overview of the legal framework for MSMEs, identify specific areas where

competition policy can intervene, anticipate challenges that the sector may face

with the PCA's implementation, and offer insights through case studies from

various jurisdictions. Ultimately, the goal is to offer strategic recommendations for

effectively leveraging competition law to support the growth and competitiveness

of MSMEs in the Philippines.

This Qualitative Study focuses on exploring the strategies adopted by Micro,

Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the Philippines. The aim is to gain a

comprehensive understanding of how these businesses are actively engaging in

various policies and programs aimed at fostering their growth within the local

economy. By examining the specific initiatives taken by MSMEs, such as

capacity building, access to financing, and market expansion, this research aims

to shed light on the challenges and opportunities faced by small businesses in

the Philippines.

Based on the study (Obaji N. and Olugu M., 2015) It is reported in

entrepreneurship literature that several variants of definition of entrepreneurship

concept exist [1] for the reason that entrepreneurship epitomises a complex

phenomenon, being examined as a process, a resource or a state-of-being [2]. In

line with this, researchers classify entrepreneurship into three main groups [2].

The groups are behavioural definitions (e.g., Schumpeter, Kirzner); occupational

definitions (e.g., Evans and Jovanovic); synthesis definitions (e.g., Gries and

Naudé). In order to validate this conceptual model, the process called for

justification of measurements; structural model as well as direction for future

research projects. This study will used quantitative approach to enhance the

reliability of measurements. It will adopt the established scales instrument to

evaluate government, economic progress, and entrepreneurship regulations.

Results revealed that this literature review propose two hypotheses. Integrating

entrepreneurship practices with economic development, with government policy

intervening, a framework is developed. It aims to develop a conceptual

framework that evaluates the role of government policy in the development of

entrepreneurship that can impact the economic development. Moreover,

framework administer a starting point to researchers and practitioners to further

examine the entrepreneurship policies and practices. In conclusion,

entrepreneurial success of any nation is largely dependent on the policy behavior

of the government. Since most governments especially in the developing
