Project Proposal 1: My Life with Dalai Lama
Met all criteria for “must” objectives
Mostly focused on the Life of the Dalai Lama
No chance for action being that the character is religious
Religious character may not be a capable personality
No environmental concerns but some regarding wildlife
Profit = 20.2% (80*8+50*18+20*24)%
Main focus is on a religious figure
No possible relationship for a theme park ride given a religious figure
Project Proposal 2: Heidi
Met all criteria for “must” objectives
Big budget film with great scenery
Award winning composer with well written music can lead to CD revenue or download revenue
Heidi can be made into an animated character
No environmental concerns
Profit = 17.6% or 18% rounded (80*2+50*20+20*30)%
Top stars featured in film
Focused on a child star therefore theme park ride for little kids may be an option
Project Proposal 3: The Year of Echo
Does not meet all the criteria for the “must” objectives as there is a negative impact linking drugs with the music industry and most importantly does not main a PG or lower rating.
Since all of the “musts” are not met the project will be deemed as a low priority and possible rejected.

Met all criteria for “must” objectives
