“How was a Korean brand able to enter and eventually steal market share from the Japanese motoring giants?How can an automobile manufacturer project 90% growth when others are lucky to even grow by 20%?How can a woman compete and win in a mall-dominated industry?LEARN THE SECRET and discover the principles from the person who made this all happen as she shares how she was able to grow Hyundai to what it is today and what will it be in the next few years.” |
| Jay Jaboneta | |
| on “USING SOCIAL MEDIA FOR CHANGE”
“Who would ever think that a simple status message can forever change a community?When Jay posted as a FACEBOOK status message the ordeal of hundreds of students in ZAMBOANGA who were forced to cross the river every single day just to be able to go to school, he was able to raise funds that was more than enough for a single boat to safely transport children to their schools.Jay’s simple status message has now turned into a widespread advocacy.” |
| Noel Lorenzana | |
| on “MOVING YOUR BRAND FROM SUCCESS TO SIGNIFICANCE”
Excerpt from an interview with Noel Lorenzana: “It is also important for business leaders to find meaning or cause in what they do. Apart from getting a chance to be part of a team that shapes the future of a true Filipino Company, it is gratifying to know that what we make plays a significant role in the lives of people; whether it is building family ties, creating new friendships, bridging broken relationships, remembering home, or simply rewarding oneself after a hard and honest day’s work. Thissense of purpose is what fuels business leaders like me to continue to drive the business forward, towards both commercial and societal objectives.” |

| on “IMAGINATION KNOWS NO LIMIT”
Excerpt from an interview with Dennis Mendiola: “Partnership is key - sharing the “wealth” is a great motivator for INNOVATION. I am now focusing my energies on platforms, not on one-off applications, that wouldallow service providers and developers to launch their creations on the net and on the mobile without hassle of setting up things from scratch. We should all be building the highway and malls that would give them quick market access and hence, the shortest path to profitability.” |
