• Has specific life span
• Calls for a teamwork, the members of which
are drawn from various disciplines of
management.
SOURCES OF PROJECT IDEAS
• Performance study of existing units with particular
reference to profitability of units and capacity
utilization
• Encouragement from financial institutions
• Study of economic trends and consumption patterns of
individuals
• An enquiry into the prevailing social and cultural trends

raw materials and skills may indicate the availability of
business opportunities.
• A study of developments in technology may
also provide new product ideas.
• A constant search for the unfulfilled needs of
the market allows identification of a series of
business opportunities.
• Consideration of Government policies
• incentives given to small scale industries, units
set up in backward regions; tax exemptions for
specific products etc
