Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

8. Where do ideas come from?
• Copying existing ideas

• Improving existing ideas
• Listening to others who say
things like ‘If only…’
• Combining ideas
• Poor alternatives
• Building on skills
• Utilising existing resources
• New ways of doing things
• Opportunity seeking
• Thinking about what things do
rather than what they are
Ideas come from anywhere!
9. Where do innovative ideas
come from?
• Technology - e.g. Moore's Law
– micro chip performance doubles roughly every year
• Market - e.g. Deregulation, globalisation, the
internet
• Societal - e.g. Lifestyles, ecology
• Brontosaurus factor e.g. IBM, Ford and GM
• Irrational exuberance (asset bubbles) e.g.
changing asset values
11. Brainstorming
– Best for/with:
• - Small groups of up to 5
• - A wide range of abilities
• - Generating lots of different ideas
• - Risk free exercise
• - Initial team building
• - Short time periods
– Poor for:
– - Ideas evaluation

never purchased online before, preferring to place orders by phone.
– Persona 2 – Georgina: Georgina is a 29 year old ad exec who has been using the Internet
for 5 years and uses her Macbook, iPad or Android phone to access the web – whatever is to
hand.

• Nintendo - controlled system
• e.g.Apple
• Innocent Drinks
22. Summary - creating business
ideas
• Ideas come from many sources
• We can use techniques to help generate ideas
• Often ideas come from what we see and hear in
our daily lives
• Identifying the problem to be solved is an
important stage in the idea development process
24. Persistence
"Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will
not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan
'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the
human race."
Calvin Coolidge
Dr Andrew Hirst Room 9339 24
25. Ideas into Opportunities
"An opportunity has the qualities of being attractive
durable and timely and is anchored in a product
or service, which creates or adds value for its
buyer or end user"
26. We often get it wrong
• 1977 - Ken Olsen Digital Equipment Corporation
– "There is no reason for any individual to have a
computer in their home"
• 1980 Sir Clive Sinclar launches the ZX80 (the first home PC)
• 1901 - Wilbur Wright (Wright Brothers)
– "Man will not fly for 50 years"
– 1903 Wright Brothers makes first flight
27. We often get it wrong
• Thomas Eddison (1910)
– "The Nickel-Iron Battery will put the Gasoline buggy
out of existence in no time"
• Einstein (1932)
– "There is not the slightest indication that nuclear
energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the
atom would have to be shattered at will"
– 1944 America use the Hydrogen bomb
• “There is a world market for about five
computers.” Thomas J Watson, IBM
28. Need an effective way to
decide
Screening ideas for
opportunity fit
A Science or an Art? ....trying to get it
right
29. Basic Criteria

• It’s a personal decision
• An opportunity arrives when the idea, resources
and the teams motivation and skills merge
• Develop a set of criteria that helps you
• Remember that nothing is perfect and you need
to take risks and make a decision!
• Knowledge is power - so do your research
