Basic similarity and different between BAUM, UNIDO, DEPSA project life cycle

Business
1 answer:
Fiesta28 [93]3 years ago

Answer:

BAUM, UNIDO, and DEPSA all refer to types of project development cycles.

A. The BAUM project lifecycle refers to the World Banks' project development cycle as described by Warren Baum.  

The BAUM project life cycle features 6 stages namely:

  1. identification of opportunity
  2. preparation for the project
  3. appraisal of the project
  4. negotiations related to the project
  5. implementation and supervision  of the project and
  6. ex-post evaluation  

B. UNIDO - The UNIDO model features three major stages which are also broken down into various steps.

Pre-investment phase

This phase is further divided into:

  • A study of the opportunity presented. This has to do with identifying ideas to be invested in.
  • Pre-feasibility study. This stage involves the formulation, and selection of project alternatives)
  • Feasibility study. When the project is selected, then it is tested to economic feasibility.
  • Submission of report on the evaluation          

    2. Investment phase  

This stage is further broken down into:

  • Project design stage: At this stage, the criteria for success, and key deliverables are spelt out.
  • Construction stage  (For engineering or building projects)
  • Pre-production marketing stage
  • Training  of staff
  • Kick-off stage  

  3. Operational phase  

This is also broken down into:  

Replacement of equipment  due to wear and tear or upgrade to better technologies

Development, invasion or liquidation states.

C. DEPSA stands for "Development Project Studies Authority".

This variant of the Project Lifecycle also consists of three major stages. They are:  

  • Pre-investment phase
  • Investment and
  • Operation

The DEPSA stage is very similar to the UNIDO project life cycle. Both are defined according to an Investment Cycle paradigm and that's the reason why you have pre-investment, investment and operations phase for both methodologies.  

Whilst the UNIDO model is more 'universal' in that it speaks to a wide range of businesses including engineering projects, DEPSA seems a little skewed towards engineering projects.  

This is evident in the terminologies used in the investment phases. With DEPSA you would notice terms like 'detailed engineering design'

'construction', and 'erection'. The UNIDO the investment phase contains engineering terms but also speaks to 'marketing' and 'training'  

While the BAUM project lifecycle contains all the basic stages in the DEPSA and UNIDO life cycles, it holds a universal outlook and seems applicable to both business and engineering projects.

Cheers!

The simple interest rate is 7% per year. if james deposits 10,000 at the end of 18 months coursehero
monitta

Deposit (PV): $10,000

Years between the 18th month and the fifth year (n) = 3.5

(I)=7% yearly interest rate

Simple interest approach accumulated value equals P*(1+(i*n)).

=1000*(1+(7%*3.5))

=1245

Thus, the total value at the end of five years will be $1245.

Compound interest method accumulated value equals P*(1+i)n

=1000*(1+7%)^3.5

=1267.19

Therefore, the total value after five years will be $1267.19.

In recent years, foreign firms were reluctant to merge with or acquire American corporations.a. Trueb. False
dangina [55]

Answer:

b. False

The supply curve represents​ ___________. A. the maximum price buyers are willing to pay to buy an extra unit of a good. B. the
matrenka [14]

Answer:

The answer is: C) The minimum price sellers are willing to accept to sell an extra unit of a good.

Explanation:

A normal supply curve should move upward from left to right. The expresses the Law of Supply: (given that all other factors remain without change) As the price of a product increases, the quantity supplied should also increase.

For example:

An ounce of gold costs right now $1,500 and 100 ounces of gold are being traded right now at that price. If a new buyer comes in and wants to buy the 101th ounce of gold, then following a normal supply curve, the new buyer would need to pay more for that extra ounce of gold, maybe $1,510.

What the supply curve shows us is that given a certain price Y, a company will be willing to sell X amount of goods.  The more demand a product has (X + 1) > X, then the price Y will increase until a new balance is found.

marissa [1.9K]

"Evaluative priming" refers to how quickly a person can identify an attitude object's valence when it appears right after a positive or negative image.

<h3>Define the term evaluative priming?</h3>

A technique known as a "evaluative priming exercise" (EP) uses phrases or images to prime participants before asking them to sort the words (or images) onto categories to uncover the underlying links between concepts.

  • A measure of implicit attitude based on the fact that the speed of evaluating a target attitude object is accelerated by a prime (i.e., this same prior presentation of a different attitude object)
  • Evaluatively consistent the with target and inhibited by such a prime which is evaluatively inconsistent also with target.

Thus,  the task is a typical indicator of implicit sentiments. "Evaluative priming" measures how quickly a subject can categorize the valence of the an attitude item when it appears just after a favorable or unfavorable image.
