technology, expertise and potential resistance criteria are weighted of 10%. It has been score of the
realistic technological criteria 10 more than project 1 and project 2. But project 3 and project 4 are
same score of the realistictechnological criteria.The criteriaof expertise hasbeena score of 40 (project
4), 30 (project 30) and 20 less (project 2) than of project 1. Finally, potential resistance criteria have
scoresof same of project1 and project4, and alsoremain projects scores has been same. The business
