This document outlines the process of generating and screening project ideas. It discusses monitoring the external environment, evaluating corporate strengths and weaknesses, and using tools like Porter's five forces model to identify investment opportunities. Potential project ideas are scouted from various sources and given a preliminary screening based on factors like market potential and costs. Projects are then rated using an index calculated from weighted factors to determine which ideas warrant further evaluation. The sources of positive net present value that make projects profitable are also discussed.

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
Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)

5. 1. GENERATION OF IDEA
Most of the project idea involve combining existing field of
technology or offering variants of present product & services.
A panel is formed for the purpose of identifying investment
opportunities. It involves the following tasks which must be carried

4. TOOLS FOR IDENTIFYING INVESTMENT
OPPORTUNITIES–
11. (b) Life cycle Approach → There are four stages a product
goes through during his life cycle:
(a) Pioneering Stage – In this stage the technology and
product is new, there is high competition and very few
entrants survive this stage.
(b) Rapid Growth Stage – This stage witnesses a significant
expansion in sales and profit.
(c) Maturity Stage – It marks developed industries with
mature product and steady growth rate.
(d) Decline Stage – Due to introduction of new products
and changes in customer preference the industry incurs a
decline in market share and profits.
(c) Experience Curve → Experience curve analyzes how
cost per unit changes with respect to accumulated volume
of production.
12. 5. SCOUTING FOR PROJECT IDEAS –
Various sources to look for good project ideas include:-
i. Trade fairs and exhibitions
ii. Studying Government plans and guidelines
iii. Suggestion of financial institutions and development agencies
iv. Investigating local materials and resources
v. Analyzing performance of existing industries
vi. Analyzing social and economic trends

13. It refers to elimination of project ideas which are not promising. The factors to be considered while screening for

• Compatibility with the promoter – The idea must be consistent with the interest, personality and resources of
entrepreneur.
• Consistency with Government priorities – The idea must be feasible with national goals and government
regulations.
• Availability of inputs – Availability of power, raw material, capital requirements, technology.
• Adequacy of Market – Growth in market, prospect of adequate sale, reasonable Return on Investment.
• Reasonableness of cost – The project must be able to make reasonable profits with respect to the costs involved.
• Acceptability of risk level – The desirability of the project also depends upon risks involved in executing it.
6. PRELIMINARY SCREENING –
14. 7. PROJECT RATING INDEX –
It is a tool used for evaluating large number of project ideas. It helps in streamlining the process of preliminary
screening. Hence a preliminary evaluation may be converted in project rating index.
Steps to calculate project rating index:
I. Identifying the factors relevant for project rating
II. Assigning weights to these factors according to their relative importance(FW)
III. Rate the project proposal on various factors using suitable rating scale (FR)
(5 point scale or 7 point scale)
IV. For each factor multiply the factor rating with factor weight to get factor scores
(FR X FW = FS)
V. All the factor scores are added to get the overall project rating index.Organization determines a cut off value and
the project below this cut off value are rejected.
15. 8. SOURCES OF THE NET PRESENT VALUE
In order to select a profitable and feasible project, a project manager must carry out a fundamental analysis of the
product and factor market to know about entry barriers which lead to positive net present value. There are six
entry barriers which result in a positive NPV project. They are –
i. Economies of scale
ii. Product differentiation
iii. Cost advantage
iv. Marketing reach
v. Technological edge
vi. Government policy
