CASE STUDY 14.1 Prescriptive and emergent strategies: profits from the sun, wind and sea?
Even from nuclear energy? With the drive towards renewable energy, companies worldwide are
beginning to commercialise the earth's natural resources. But profits are still to emerge in some
cases. And major difficulties remain, as this case explains. Renewable resources are already big
business As national economies develop and become wealthier, they need and consume more
energy in areas such as electric power, transport and food processing. At the same time, the earth
is warming up and becoming more polluted as a consequence of increased energy and greater
consumption of manufactured goods. The outcome is that we need more power. But it needs to
be renewable and it also needs to have low or zero emissions, especially with regard to carbon
by-products. Some national governments are now offering major financial support for low-
carbon and renewable resource applications. Equally. some companies see major profit
opportunities from renewable resources. In 2009 , for example, the UK Carbon Trust produced a
report which estimated that the total global investment in clean energy up to 2008 totalled 2148
billion ( $211 billion). Investment came from venture capital companies, small businesses,
govemment departments and large companies through corporate research and development.
Further growth was certain over the next 20 years, but the precise areas of growth remained
unclear. Expansion depends on which technologies emerge as being the most cost-effective and
also which technologies are most suited to particular countries: for example, some countries have
more sun than others, thus tavouring solar technology. Sources of renewable energy In terms of
their contribution to total energy around the world, renewables accounted for around 20 per cent
of total energy consumption in 2008 - see Eigure 14. 2. Fossil fuels were still the largest source
in 2008 , accounting for 78 per cent of total use. However, virtually every government around
the worid was comvinced that this source needed to be radically reduced by 2050 . In essence,
the problem with all allemative forms of energy at the present time is that the costs of production
are higher than those for fossil fuel. There are two implications: - Fossil fuels will continue to be
the main source of energy until the costs of alternatives are reduced, for example by further
advances in technology. The other possibility is that the cost of fossil fuel is raised, for example
by extra government taxes on such fuel or by external factors such as war. Figure 14.2 Estimated
renewable final share of global total energy consumption 2017: fossil fuels still dominant

The Future of Alternate Energy in India: The World War-III Begins Manu Srinath
Mankind has already seen two World Wars. The Nations which emerged victorious in the last one are today the so-called Developed Nations and others are forced to have a 'subordinate' tag and they are called the Third World.
But now it's time for the next one and this is not a Tennis tournment to have seedings to save the Mighty Neck of the First World. No head-starts.
No Offence to Late PM Rajiv Gandhi of India when he said " Information Technology will be the base for the Third Word War". But we, a group of NLUO-ites believe that the fight is for the dominance in Alternate Energy and those who lag behind, will be behind others forever.

Renewable energy is generally electricity supplied from sources, such as wind power, solar power,
geothermal energy, hydro power and various forms of biomass. The popularity of renewable energy
has experienced a significant upsurge in recent times due to the exhaustion of conventional power
generation methods and increasing realization of its adverse effects on the environment. Wind energy
has been harnessed for centuries but it has only emerged as a major part of our energy solution quite
recently and this report focus on utilizing wind energy by using vertical axis wind turbine.
SINCE October sightseers on the hills above Edinburgh have gawped at a brand new landmark. Across the Firth of Forth, on a test site, stands the biggest wind turbine in Britain. The tips of its blades rise 196m above sea level. Its rotor sweeps an area twice as large as the London Eye. This monster and others like it are bound for the North Sea—part of the biggest and most ambitious offshore wind programme in the world.

The need for expanded nuclear energy is urgent. Global energy demand is expected to grow by at least 50% by 2035, with electric demand in the developing world expected to triple.
Presently, more than one billion people completely lack electricity access and billions more consume one tenth or less of the electricity per capita consumed in the OECD. Much of that supply is intermittent.
At the same time, 81% of the world’s energy, and two thirds of the world’s electricity, is derived from fossil fuels, while emissions from fossil fuel combustion are a major factor driving global climate change.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

CASE STUDY 14-1 Prescriptive and emergent strategies- profits from the.pdf
1. CASE STUDY 14.1 Prescriptive and emergent strategies: profits from the sun, wind and sea?
Even from nuclear energy? With the drive towards renewable energy, companies worldwide are
beginning to commercialise the earth's natural resources. But profits are still to emerge in some
cases. And major difficulties remain, as this case explains. Renewable resources are already big
business As national economies develop and become wealthier, they need and consume more
energy in areas such as electric power, transport and food processing. At the same time, the earth
is warming up and becoming more polluted as a consequence of increased energy and greater
consumption of manufactured goods. The outcome is that we need more power. But it needs to
be renewable and it also needs to have low or zero emissions, especially with regard to carbon
by-products. Some national governments are now offering major financial support for low-
carbon and renewable resource applications. Equally. some companies see major profit
opportunities from renewable resources. In 2009 , for example, the UK Carbon Trust produced a
report which estimated that the total global investment in clean energy up to 2008 totalled 2148
billion ( $211 billion). Investment came from venture capital companies, small businesses,
govemment departments and large companies through corporate research and development.
Further growth was certain over the next 20 years, but the precise areas of growth remained
unclear. Expansion depends on which technologies emerge as being the most cost-effective and
also which technologies are most suited to particular countries: for example, some countries have
more sun than others, thus tavouring solar technology. Sources of renewable energy In terms of
their contribution to total energy around the world, renewables accounted for around 20 per cent
of total energy consumption in 2008 - see Eigure 14. 2. Fossil fuels were still the largest source
in 2008 , accounting for 78 per cent of total use. However, virtually every government around
the worid was comvinced that this source needed to be radically reduced by 2050 . In essence,
the problem with all allemative forms of energy at the present time is that the costs of production
are higher than those for fossil fuel. There are two implications: - Fossil fuels will continue to be
the main source of energy until the costs of alternatives are reduced, for example by further
advances in technology. The other possibility is that the cost of fossil fuel is raised, for example
by extra government taxes on such fuel or by external factors such as war. Figure 14.2 Estimated
renewable final share of global total energy consumption 2017: fossil fuels still dominant

Renewables 2020 Global Status Report (Paris: REN21 Secretariat). - There is a strong incentive
to invest in new technologies to drive down the costs of renewable energy sources like the sun
and the tide. But this pressure is, at least partly, driven by government policy rather than
commercial considerations. Typically. public policy decisions are slower and lack the clearer
sense of direction possessed by some business decisions. For the purpose of this case, we focus
on four methods of reduction: solar, wind, tidal and nuclear power. Profits from solar power This
technology has existed for many years and is relatively mature. As a consequence, many
companies are now investing in this form of renewable energy - both as manufacturers and as
users. Importantly, the technology is so mature that large-scale production of solar panels is now
being undertaken, especially in China and the USA. Economies of scale will bring down the
production cost and take the costs of producing this form of renewable energy closer to the costs
of fossil fuels. One of the lechnical problems for solar power is that the more northem countries
receive lower amounts of sunlight, especially during the winter months. Hence, there is some
incentive to develop other forms of renewable energy. Profits from the wind Many countries
around the worid now have both on-shore and off-shore 'windtarms' - essentially, groups of
2. windmills that tum in the wind and generate power. The technology is partially developed,
especially for landbased windmills. But the costs are still higher than fossil fuel and there is a
technical problem with wind; its speed can be either too low to generate electricity or too high so
that there is a danger of damaging the windmills. Nevertheless, windlarms are extensively in
operation with many more planned. For example, the UK. has set out extensive plans for
licensing areas of the land and sea for this purpose. There is an additional Profits from the wind

windiarms: their visual and environmental impact may be so great that there are strong local
planning objections - see Case Study 18.2 on Viking Energy. Profits from the sea Tidal energy
generation is still in the experimental testing stage. Companies with government support are now
working to test turbines that are lowered into the sea and, as the tide rises and falls, generate
energy. Turbines for tidal energy need to be sited where sea levels rise and fall dramatically:
some geographical locations, such as northem Scotland, are particularly well suited to this.
Technology and profits from this source of renewable energy have scope but are yet to emerge
clearly. However, the first working tidal energy turbines began generating electricity in the tidal
surge of Bluemull Sound, northem Shetland, in 2017. Profits from nuclear power Civil nuclear
power generation has now been around for over 40 years. Some of the early reactors, such as
Chernobyl, were so badly designed and managed that they have given the industry a poor
reputation. Some nuclear reactors have also been poorly sited, like those at Fukushima, Japan, on
the coast near a major geophysical fault line. Thus there are risks in nuclear power that the
industry has not always recognised. Some people regard those risks as being so great that they
oppose any further nuclear development. They also argue that there is a major problem over the
storage of spent nuclear fuel which will hoid its dangerous radioactivity for hundreds of years,
However, the nuclear industry has developed new designs that have reduced these risks and there
are zero carbon emissions from nuclear energy plants. On balance, some - but not all -
governments favour more nuclear investment over the next 20 years. Hence nuclear power will
generate profitable business. Experimental power is being generated from the strong winds and
tides oft the coast of the Shetland Islands, Northern Scotland. But the costs may be too high to
justify the major investment needed for widescale adoption Fichard Lynch Profits from nuclear

From the above briet descriptions, it will be evident that there are risks and opportunities in all
the areas of development. This case has deliberately left it to the reader to make judgements on
whether particular forms of renewable energy are beneficial and cost-eflective to the world. (5)

published sources only. Case questions 1. Which of the above four forms of renewable energies
is predominantly prescriptive and which emergent? Why? 2. Which of the four areas has the
greatest strategic risk? What underpinning strategy principles might be used to lower any such
risks? [Consider, for example, the implications of the product lfe cycle, first mover advantages,
joint ventures and alliances.] 3. Are commercial considerations, like prolitability, the most
important factor in deciding the investment and use of altemative forms of renewable energy? Or
should governments intervene to support investment in some areas in any circumstances? And, if
government action is appropriate, should this be undertaken regardless of the cost?
