One technological advance I have experienced in detail was the conversion from Imperial to the metric system in Canada especially in the mines I worked at. The advantage was that now everything could be done in 10's like millimeters, centimeters, metres and kilometers for example. The drawback would be that I was accustomed to say with cars to use miles per gallon and I had a hard time to envisage kilometres per liter. Another innovation I experienced first hand was the development of the GPS. This made it easier to locate oneself in the field provided there was good satellite reception and at least for the handheld GPS the accuracy was only down to about +-5meters so was not exact. Only the more expensive GPS like the Trimble could zero one in with sub-centimetre accuracy.
Answer:
valuation principle
Explanation:
The basis concept behind the valuation principle is that the value of an asset is determined by the market. If an investor is evaluating any type of new project, he/she must use market prices in order to determine whether this new project will make him/her wealthier.

C) competitive <u>analysis</u>
Explanation:
A competitive analysis is a business plan part which reflects on the key competitors of our business (their key characteristics which are relevant for our business plan or product in general).
In this example, Robert would bring out the key characteristics of the construction industry (industry trends, industry segments etc.) and list out the relevant competitors and their potential <em>competitive advantage</em>. If Robert's company is a construction business specialized in skyscraper building in LA, he would list construction companies specialized in high-rise building located in California.
With the aid of a proper competitive analysis, Robert will be able to point out the business areas where it is possible to surpass our competitors. For example, when Robert decomposes the product features of the ABC competitor company - materials used, project cost, project length, skyscraper portfolio, only then he is able to see what specific area in his company needs improvement.
On the other hand, an <em>executive summary</em> is a short description of our business goals, key financial indicators, strategies and forecast. It possesses summarized key information, similar to a pitch.
