7.2 Revenues Projects vary in how they are eventually financed. They can be purely commercial projects from which the products are sold at market prices, and so eventually the revenues they generate are expected to cover the costs and provide an operating profit. In the meantime, development costs and working capital have to be financed from share and loan capital raised by the organisation, the cost of which will be met from the profit the project makes. At the other extreme there are projects, in both f
7.1 Introduction Planning a project includes preparation of financial and related projections. Frequently, these will be used to: weigh up the economic feasibility of the project; obtain approval from a higher authority in the organisation for the project to proceed; set boundaries of delegation or empowerment in a formal budget; provide the basis for accounting for project revenues and costs; provide
5.2 Work breakdown A work breakdown structure enables: the work of a project to be divided into ‘packages’; these ‘packages’ can be further subdivided into ‘elements’; these elements are then divided into individual ‘tasks’. This structure provides a basis for estimating the time and effort required. In a large project, the work breakdown structure might allow packages of work
2.1 Introduction The planning process aims to demonstrate how the project outcomes will be achieved successfully within both the required timescale, the agreed budget and the required quality. As each project is different, there are a number of ways of taking an overview of a project. Two of these are: the project life-cycle, which is a useful way of understanding the different phases of a project as it progresses, and the classic six-stage project ma
5 Conclusion The idea of the double whammy brings together the two driving forces behind changes in industrial structure, with which this unit opened and now closes. The use of a new technology causes a decline in the costs of production, which in turn encourages a rapid take-up by consumers of products embodying the new technology. This unit has explored the factors affecting consumer demand. While the price of the product was found to be of crucial importance, socio-economic influences such as culture a
2.3 Other influences on market demand What about other variables which may affect demand? Let us consider four such variables. As is often the case in economics, the first two points involve understanding some rather formal relationships between variables, in this case price and income.
The price of other goods. Two goods x and y are known as substitutes if the quantity demanded of good x increases after a rise in the price of good y. The
