Strategic investment

the long version

"Corporate finance and corporate strategy have long been seen as different sides of the same coin. Though both focus on the same broad problem, investment decision-making, the gap between the two sides - and between theory and practice - remains embarrassingly large. This book synthesizes cutting-edge developments in corporate finance and related fields - in particular, real options and game theory - to help bridge this gap. In exposition and through numerous examples and applications from various industries, Han Smit and Lenos Trigeorgis set forth an extended valuation framework for competitive strategies." "The authors provide a wide range of valuation examples, such as acquisition strategies, R&D investment in high-tech sectors, joint research ventures, product introductions in consumer electronics, infrastructure, and oil exploration investment." "Strategic Investment will be a guide and resource for corporate managers, MBA students, and academics alike."--BOOK JACKET.
