The document discusses the process of project formulation, which begins with generating and screening project ideas. Ideas are generated through analyzing the economy, conducting surveys and studies, and using tools like SWOT analysis. The environment is also monitored across sectors like economic, governmental, and competition. Corporate strengths and weaknesses are appraised to identify opportunities. Several tools can help identify promising opportunities, such as the life cycle approach and Porter's five forces model. Project ideas are scouted, preliminarily screened based on factors like compatibility and costs, and rated using a project rating index to evaluate their feasibility. Successful entrepreneurs exhibit qualities like leadership, decisiveness, and marketing orientation.
