Real Options

Evaluating Corporate Investment Opportunities in a Dynamic World

Real option analysis is a development from the methods by which financial markets value an option on a stock or share. It helps us decide how much money we should spend to acquire an economic opportunity and when we should commit ourselves to one of the available decisions. Real option analysis is increasingly being used by companies to value intangible assets. However, due to the mathematical complexity of analyzing real options, they are only now becoming essential to corporate strategy.

Real Options will provide the reader with a comprehensive understanding of the concepts behind real option analysis and how to use them. It demystifies the scientific aura surrounding the subject, giving the reader the understanding necessary to direct or apply real option analysis in any organizational setting.

Real Options will:

• introduce real options, what they are, why they are important and when to use them
• explain the essential concepts of real and financial option analysis
• illustrate how to apply financial option concepts to real options
• explain how to build and solve real option models
• highlight the limitations and pitfalls of real option analysis
• provide foresight into the future of real option analysis
• provide worked practical examples and case studies from the world of real estate, sport management, power generation and operations.

Written by a team of authors from (and linked) to Manchester Business School who have experience in teaching practitioners and students alike in the field of real options, this book will guide the reader from a basic level through to more advanced analysis
