Abstract/Summary

The present study focused in describing and differentiating the networking proactivity and strength of network tie that competitive and cooperative Filipino entrepreneurs engage into with different their customers, suppliers, and competitors. This study followed a qualitative design which included 20 adult entrepreneurs, 25-55 years old, from Metro Manila. Results showed that competitive Filipino entrepreneurs have high networking proactivity level and strong network tie for customers, medium and weak for suppliers, and low and weak for competitors. Cooperative Filipino entrepreneurs have no dominant networking proactivity level for all, medium and weak ties for customers and suppliers, and no dominant strength for competitors. The mentioned networking dimensions of competitive and cooperative Filipino entrepreneurs vary from each other and according to whom the entrepreneurs interact with. Therefore, Western findings are not entirely applicable to the Philippine setting.
