This paper suggests a valuation framework of investment project using the concept of real options. We show the valuation process of real assets using the risk-neutral pricing. Especially, we focus on the investment lag. Real assets have investment lag in general. The decision time and the payment time are not identical. So the investment lag should be considered when valuing real assets for reality. We provide the valuation process for real assets, including R&D project. The results of this paper can be used for the real assets valuation and strategic decision analysis.

In this paper, we propose the valuation frame of the IT(Information Technology) ventures using ROV(Real Options Valuation) model. Generally, ROV can comprises the traditional valuation method such as DCF(Discounted Cash Flow), which can measure only the tangible value of a firm from the expected future earnings, in that ROV can additionally measure the intangible value such as the strategic value of a firm in the uncertain environment. We set up the hypothetic IT venture future investment plan and assume that there are a growth option and a switching option consequently along the investment time horizon, which are caused by each characteristics of ventures and IT technologies, especially modularity. In the case that there are several embedded real options in the firm's investment plan in a row, we should apply the compound option pricing model as a real option valuation model in order to consider the value interaction between real options. In an addition, we present the results of optimal investment timing analysis using real options approach and compare them. with those of the original assumed investment timing.

This article describes a methodology for evaluating huge aerospace R&D investments using the real options pricing method. Option pricing has been proposed as a useful approach for modeling investment in R&D. Two important features of R&D investments are that an R&D project takes time to complete and that the outcome of R&D investments is highly uncertain. This makes the analysis of R&D investments difficult. Traditional tools for project evaluation, like IRR or the NPV, are inadequate for coping with the high uncertainty. Hence, In this article I propose a log-transformed binomal lattice method, and it will show that option pricing might be an adequate framework for evaluating such types of aerospace investments.

We evaluate the economic value and the optimal investment timing of IMT-2000 in Korea, in the perspective of a service provider who owns the business license for IMT-2000, by using the real options analysis. The result clearly shows the project value with options is positive and delaying the investment is more favorable to the provider. Binomial lattice approach, in which we try to describe American call option and sequential compound option, and sensitivity analysis present the optimal decisions according to future states and enable the management to make decision strategically and proactively.

기후변화의 영향으로 세계 각국은 화석연료 사용을 줄이고, 신재생에너지에 대한 투자가 활발하게 이뤄지고 있다. 세계 전력의 23.7%를 신재생에너지가 공급하고 있으며, 계속된 기술의 발전으로 화력설비와 발전원가 면에서 경쟁할 수준이 되어 투자 여건이 좋아 지고 있다. 하지만, 신재생에너지 프로젝트의 투자를 결정하는 것은 쉽지 않다. 본 연구는 신재생에너지 중에서 많은 비중을 차지하고 있는 수력, 태양광, 풍력발전 프로젝트 투자 결정에 실물옵션방법을 적용한 경제성평가에 대해 국내외 연구동향을 분석하였다. 본 연구는 (1)전통적 경제성분석방법과 실물옵션방법의 차이점, (2)적용 과정, (3)많은 연구들이 제시한 신재생에너지 프로젝트의 불확실성 요소들과 옵션종류에 대해 알아보았다. 실물옵션분석방법은 신재생에너지 프로젝트의 불확실성 요소들을 고려하고 수익을 향상시키거나 리스크를 피할 수 있는 옵션 적용이 가능하여 세밀한 투자계획수립에 적합하다.

최근들어 온라인게임 개발사에 대한 투자가 활발해짐에 따라 상용화 이전 단계의 온라인 게임 개발사에 대한 투자도 본격적으로 진행되고 있으나, 이들 업체들은 기술적 불확실성 및 시장 불확실성이 매우 높기 때문에 고전적인 가치평가 방법으로는 한계가 존재한다. 따라서, 이러한 불확실성을 효과적으로 반영할 수 있는 실물옵션 방법론을 적용하여야 한다. 이를 블루홀스튜디오의 실제 투자 사례에 대해 적용한 결과, 실물옵션 방법론이 고전적인 가치평가 방법에 비해 더 효과적으로 시장 가치를 설명하며, 실물옵션 방법론 중에서도 MAD(Market Asset Disclaimer) 방법이 더 효과적임을 사례연구를 통해 실증하였다.

Net Present Value (NPV) criterion has been the most widely used criterion to evaluate investment opportunities. However, the analysis based on the NPV criterion falls to consider the managerial flexibility of deferring decisions until major uncertainty is resolved. Recently, real options method attracted a lot of attention as a Powerful approach to address the problem. If investment decision is deferred, the value of the investment opportunity increases but opportunity cost increases at the same time. Therefore, it is important to decide the optimal timing how long the decision can be deferred. In this paper, we developed a model deciding the optimal decision timing. Using the real options approach, the model derived the optimal deferring time until a decision is made. Then, the model was applied to a Korean mobile telecommunications company who wants to invest on the wireless resale business. We believe that this model would be very useful to overcome the problem of NPV decision criterion. With this approach, we can make contingent decisions based on the observation of uncertainly resolutions.

This study aims to introduce a biowaste processing system that uses spent coffee grounds and implement a real options method to evaluate the proposed process. Energy systems based on eco-friendly fuels lack sufficient data, and thus along with conventional approaches, they lack the techno-economic assessment required for great input qualities. On the other hand, real options analysis can estimate the different costs of options, such as continuing or abandoning a project, by considering uncertainties, which can lead to better decision-making. This study investigated the feasibility of a biowaste processing method using spent coffee grounds to produce biofuel and considered three different valuation models, which were the net present value using discounted cash flow, the Black-Scholes and binomial models. The suggested biowaste processing system consumes 200 kg/h of spent coffee grounds. The system utilizes a tilted-slide pyrolysis reactor integrated with a heat exchanger to warm the air, a combustor to generate a primary heat source, and a series of condensers to harness the biofuel. The result of the net present value is South Korean Won (KRW) -225 million, the result of the binomial model is KRW 172 million, and the result of the Black-Scholes model is KRW 1,301 million. These results reveal that a spent coffee ground-related biowaste processing system is worthy of investment from a real options valuation perspective.

Net present value (NPV) and return on investment (ROI) are commonly used to evaluate investment in new technologies. Sometimes, however, measuring the value of investment in new IT becomes very difficult due to its wide scope of application coupled with embedded options in its adoption. Therefore, comprehensive but easily understandable methodologies are needed to solve the complicated problems resulting from the complexity of new technologies. This paper employs a real option analysis to evaluate RFID adoption in the supply chain. Real options analysis should be a better way to evaluate a disruptive technology like RFID. However, the pure (probabilistic) real option rule characterizes the present value of expected cash flows and the expected costs by a single number, which is not realistic in many cases. To solve the problem, this paper considers the real option rule in a more realistic setting, namely, when the present values of expected cash flows and expected costs are estimated by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers.
