For Business Plan Preparation in the Fall 2011 semester of my MBA program, we put together a business plan for a product called the X-Lint. The X-Lint improves the efficiency of a clothes dryer and can help a user save time drying clothes and cut their electric bill.

Winning the Budget Game: How to Get the Money You Need for IT Every TimeNicole Forsgren
Getting the resources your team needs is a matter of knowing just enough about finances to communicate what you want, and explaining how it will benefit the company. The trick is to speak their language. Learn the basics of budgeting, benchmarking, resource allocation, cost-benefit analysis, and communicating costs using tools like net present value. Understand the importance of your business cycle and the difference between cap-ex and op-ex. These are slides from a half-day course that also covers spreadsheet magic, like pivot tables and pivot charts.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
