Introduction
According to Audra Bianca (2017), “An entrepreneur is a person who owns a small business and
staffs it as needed to meet customer needs. Entrepreneurship means that a business owner will focus on
creating a market for his/her products or services based on a business plan.” It proves that there is a
producer of a product and there is consumers. It is back and forth dealing where each side get its need.
Also, “An entrepreneur is an individual who starts and runs a business with limited sources and planning,
and is responsible for all the risks and rewards of his or her business venture.” stated by Shobit Seth
(2017). In fact, it is about taking risks and attaining the opportunities, even the owner can not make sure
that his/her business will be succeed. The owner must be industrious, skillful and motivated so that the goal
will be attained. In the Philippines, small businesses defined according to the size of assets, size of equity
capital, and number of employees. The Magna Carta for Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (RA No.
6977, as amended by RA 8289, and further amended by RA 9501), define a small business as “Any
enterprise or business activity engaged in the major sectors of the economy whether single proprietorship,
cooperative, partnership or corporation whose total assets inclusive of those arising from loans but
exclusive of the land which the particular business entity's office, plant and equipment are situated, and
Doing business in the Philippines has become increasingly tough. This is the realization of many
Philippine firms that face strong competition by companies from different countries which are able to
significantly bring down the prices of their goods because of extremely low production costs. Fortunately,
some Philippines firms however, have remained viable in spite of stiff foreign competition. This is largely
because of their ability to offer differentiated, higher-end products that are valued both in domestic and
international markets. Despite of tough establishing the business, the creation of ventures and innovation in
existing small business enterprises are part of today's innovation process, and should take a central place in
government strategies to promote innovation. Innovation with technology must be used everywhere
because it cause greater productivity and operation. Unfortunately, not all small business are equal in
innovation. There are some old techniques and way of selling that are not nationally competitive. But, in
other hand, innovation has become critical in enhancing the capability of firms to adjust rapid changes in
the business environment. This means not only remaining economically competitive but also being
responsive to social and environmental imperatives. The good thing in innovation is that it requires the
people to do better works than before. It push them to their maximum potential to do works with
excellence. According to McAdam and Armstrong (2001) define innovation as, “The harnessing of
creative ability within individuals and the workforce in response to change, by doing things differently or
better across products, processes or procedures.” Nowadays, workers can not do works in just one sitting.
They need upgrading of their works. Like for example, the garment company, backway, workers use piece
by piece work because the absence of sewing machines. But now, innovation makes the process of sewing
smooth.
Indeed, innovation is needed in small business entrepreneurship. So that, how is the technological
innovation works in the small business entrepreneurship? Does it helps the business works to be productive
