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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
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

2. What does it mean for the group:
The company is service oriented and the above data are a combined for all business
activities and geographic segments.
We can see that the Technology sector is the one bringing the more revenue to the
company, followed by the Outsourcing. Most sectors have remained steady for the period, but
the Consulting one is actually decreasing in terms of profitability.
Breakdown of revenues by geographic segments
8. 7
About the segments, France alone is the most profitable segment (headquarters of the
company) and the Asia- Pacific/ Latin America segment has reported strong growth.
The increase of assets over the years is mostly due to the expansion of the group; for
instance, in 2011 alone, they have fully acquired (100%) many IT services providers (from Italy,
Germany, France) and bought shares from various companies around the world. The company
has relied a lot on inorganic growth for the past 5 years.
Overall, the company’s profitability has been increasing, except for a decline in 2013,
for which the group’s CFO reported that it was due to innovation activities (organic growth)
and the Euro fluctuations; the 3 previous quarters of 2014 have actually been very positive for
the group.

Breakdown of Cap Gemini December 31, 2013
Through these graphs, we can see the evolution of the capital structure of the firm.
Indeed, the major registered capital come from non-French institutional shareholders follow
by the French institutional shareholders. The treasury stock segment is always the lowest one
concerning the Cap Gemini’s breakdown.
Cap Gemini stays close to its shareholders and developed a strength communication
strategy to meet its individual shareholders expectations. Regularly, Cap Gemini attend to do
shareholder meetings in order to present its businesses, strategy and financial results.
In fact, the 46th General Meeting of the Shareholders of Cap Gemini SA was held on
May 7, 2014 at the Pavillon d’Armenonville in Paris. All the resolutions were adopted, notably
for say on pay with 96.83% of the votes cast. The shareholders also appointed new directors:
“-Xavier Musca, Deputy Chief Executive Officer of Crédit Agricole SA and a Director of Banco
Espirito Santo, with 97.31% of the total votes.
-Caroline Watteeuw-Carlisle, retired, previously Global Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice
President of Business Information Solutions, PEPSICO, with 99.37% of the total votes.
-Anne Bouverot, Chief Executive Officer and member of the Board of Directors of GSM
Association, by 98.87% of the total votes.”
As you can see in the following graph, the Cap Gemini Debt to Equity ratio went
through different period. The leverage ratio indicating the relative proportion of shareholders'
equity and debt used to finance a company's assets. We can see the higher ratio was in 2012.
A high debt to equity ratio usually means that Cap Gemini has been aggressive in financing
growth with debt.
In 2014, the ratio debt to equity was approximately of 0.21% that means a lower risk, because
debt holders have less claims on the company's assets.
11. 10
IV/ Cost of capital
As we can see from the consolidated financial statements of 2009-2013(appendix 1),
Cap Gemini use a combination of debt and equity to finance their businesses. As show in 2013
annual report, the firm has €10.1 billion revenues, 8.5% operating margin and €442 million
profit, up by 25% compared with 2012. Given that performance was better than forecasted,
the dividend proposed for financial year 2013, at the General Meeting of Shareholders held on
May 7, 2014, is €1.10 per share (appendix 2). This is 10% higher than the 2012 dividend and
corresponds to a 40% pay-out rate. Historically, the Cap Gemini dividend policy was to
distribute 33% of consolidated profit. The pay-out rate since 2009 has far exceeded this
percentage.
Firms typically finance their investment proposals with a combination of equity capital and
debt capital, and both shareholders and debt holders require a return from their contribution
to the financing of the proposal. People invest Cap Gemini based on its outstanding profits, in
other words, they believe Cap Gemini will bring them right project which will gain more
dividends.
Usually, we can use cost of capital as a discount rate of evaluating an investment, and
maintaining the price of firm’s stock. Weighted average cost of capital (WACC), is a weighted-
computational method of analyzing the cost of capital based on the whole capital structure of
a firm. The result of WACC is the rate a firm use to monitor the application of the current
assets because it presents the return the firm MUST get. Since Gap Gemini has both debt and
equity, we have to calculate both the cost of debt and cost and cost of equity before we
analyze the cost of capital:
a) Cost of debt
The cost of debt is merely the interest rate paid by the company on such debt.
However, since interest expense is tax-deductible, the after-tax cost of debt is calculated as:
After-tax cost of debt = Interest rate of debt(1-corporate tax rate)
According to the statement of cash flow in 2013 and Accounts and notes payable sheet
(appendix 3),
12. 11
Interest paid = 56,000,000
Accounts and Notes payable = 2,293,000,000
The interest rate for the period:
Interest paid / Accounts and notes payable = 56,000,000 / 2,2293,000,000 = 2,44%
So, the final number is :
After-tax cost of debt = 2.44%(1-33.3%) = 1.62%
N.B. The corporate tax rate of French company is 33.3 (see appendix7)
b) Cost of equity
The cost of equity is more complicated, since the rate of return demanded by equity
investors is not as clearly defined as it is by lenders. It can be estimated using Capital Asset
Pricing Model (CAPM).
However, there is a more easy way to calculate it:
Cost of equity = (Dividends per share next year / Current market value of stock) + growth
rate of dividends
According to the appendix 4, we will find out that:
Dividends per share next year= 1,1
Since we have to use the current market value of stock, we could choose the number of March
14, 2013 as an example(appendix 6)
Current market value of stock = 55.281
Growth rate of dividends=(dividends per share for 2014-dividends per share for
2013)/dividend per share for 2013,which is 0 (appendix 5)
Cost of equity=(1,1/55.281)%
=1.98%
c) WACC estimation
1. Estimate the firm’s relative proportions of debt (D) and equity (E) financing:
(See appendix 1&2)
D+E=10176 D/E+D= 5685/10176= 55.86% E/E+D=4491/10176=44.13%
13. 12
2. Use all the numbers above to calculate the final ratio:
WACC = Weighted Average Cost of Capital
Dk = cost of Debt Ek = cost of Equity
Tc= corporate tax rate
D = Debt E = Equity
Then, the final number is :
WACC= 1.62%*44.13% +1.98%*55.86%
=1.8%
Then, we use the same method to calculate the WACC of 2009-2012, here are the numbers
needed during calculation.

Debt 5000 5461 6731 6138
Equity + Debt 9213 9768 11014 10656
We can easily calculate the final numbers:
2009 2010 2011 2012
Cost of debt 0.86% 0.93% 1.51% 1.89%
Cost of equity 27.78% 27.45% 2.99% 2.65%
WACC 13.17% 12.62% 2.08% 2.21%
When looking at the WACC figures for the period if 2009-14, it can be seen that the
capital has been stable for the period of 2009-10, however for the period of 2011-2013 the
capital has decreased by a considerable margin This decrease in capital can be accounted for
the rapid decrease in the cost of equity for the mentioned period.
Since the cost of capital represents a hurdle rate that a company must overcome
before it can generate value, it is extensively used in the capital budgeting process to
determine whether the company should proceed with a project. Cap Gemini strive to attain
the optimal financing mix, based on the cost of capital for various funding sources. But, debt
14. 13
financing has the advantage of being more tax-efficient than equity financing, since interest
expenses are tax-deductible and dividends on common shares have to be paid with after-tax
dollars. However, too much debt can result in dangerously high leverage, resulting in higher
interest rates sought by lenders to offset the higher default risk.
V/ Firm market value, stock price performance vs. main stock market
index
a) Firm market value
The market value of a corporation is the value of the firm based on the price that
shareholders are willing to pay for stock in the company in public markets. Here we have a
graph (1) representing the stock price of the company in 2014.
GRAPHIC 1 (Capgemini’s stock prices 2014)
Bloomberg.com
15. 14
To know the firm’s market value we have to measure the market capitalization that it
represent the amount of money it would cost if someone buy every single share of stock
Capgemini had issued at the current market price.
In the graph we see that Capgemini has 158,000,000.59 shares of stock outstanding and the
stock price is $58.4. The market capitalization is: Nº of shares outstanding x stock price=
158,000,000.59 x 58.4= $ 9,227,200,034.45. That figure allows investors to understand the
relative price of Capgemini versus another.
GRAPHIC 2 (Stock prices 2011-2014)
We know that a share is a security issued by a corporation that represents the value
of one of the equal fractions that its capital is divided. The stock price will rises and fall
depending on how much investors pay for a share. They will pay money only if they believe
that the company will succeed. If company is successful, the stock price is going to increase.
In that second graphic we have the evolution of the stock price between 2011 and 2014. In
2005 the stock price was $26,210 and it has increased to $58,98 in 2014. So that means that as
the company is getting successful there are more and more investors that buy its shares, so
the price increases.
The volume represents the number of shares or contracts traded in a security or an entire
market during a given period of time. So we can see that the period were more shares have
been traded is in September 2013 and December 2012.
16. 15
b) stock price performance vs. main stock market index
The stock market index is a statistical tool used to study the evolution of stock prices
in the stock market. It reflects the price evolution of a group of companies that are
representative of the market. In summary, the aim is to reflect the performance of all stocks
listed on the stock taken together like a single unit. So we are going to compare we will analyze
the evolution of the valuation of Capgemini with respect to the CAC 40.
In the graph we see that the evolution of Capgemini in percentage terms is higher
than the CAC 40. That means that the valuation of the company has evolved better than the
rest of the French market, above all between 03/03/2006 to 03/01/2008. In 2005 Capgemini
and the CAC 40 has evolved in the same percentages
