Download or read book Strategic Investment written by Han T. J. Smit and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-12 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 clear, straightforward 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 book follows a problem-solving approach that synthesizes ideas from game theory, real options, and strategy. Thinking in terms of options-games can help managers address questions such as: When is it best to invest early to preempt competitive entry, and when to wait? Should a firm compete in R&D or adopt an accommodating stance? How does one value growth options or infrastructure investments? 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. Representing a major step beyond standard real options or strategy analysis, and extending the power of real options and strategic thinking in a rigorous fashion, Strategic Investment will be an indispensable guide and resource for corporate managers, MBA students, and academics alike.

Download or read book Strategic Investment Funds written by Shanthi Divakaran and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2022-06-20 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Strategic investment funds (SIFs) have gained prominence over the past two decades as governments and other public sponsors globally have increasingly co-opted the investment fund model to further policy objectives. Since 2000, more than 30 SIFs have been formed at the national level, typically to boost economic growth through infrastructure or small and medium enterprise investment. In the current COVID-19 pandemic environment, governments have frequently turned to sovereign investment vehicles to address the economic effects of the pandemic, echoing the emergence of new SIFs in the aftermath of the global financial crisis. However, SIFs are not devoid of challenges, and the setup and operation of such funds can be fraught with risks, particularly in contexts of weaker governance, inadequate rule of law, and limited financial market regulation. The intent of 'Strategic Investment Funds: Establishment and Operations' is to provide guidance to practitioners and policy makers considering a SIF model where little widely available, practice-based experience has been documented and disseminated. The book provides a reference for policy makers who are creating or strengthening the operations of SIFs, particularly as governments examine the value of such funds as a policy instrument in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Download or read book A Study of Influences on Strategic Investment Decision Effectiveness written by Thomas Kam Tim Chan and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considerable effort has been devoted to developing the techniques for evaluating and selecting strategic investment projects, but relatively less has been spent on assessing the factors that influence the effectiveness of these decisions. Strategic investment projects normally employ a significant part of a firm's resources, so the effectiveness of such decisions is important for ensuring long-term financial stability. Understanding factors that influence the effectiveness of these decisions are also important in achieving the other long-term objectives of the firm. This study extends the scope of strategic investment decision-making (SIDM) research to a broader range of decisions, environments, firms, and industries within Hong Kong,where there are no existing studies in the areas covered. The study used both quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative data were obtained from the survey questionnaires sent to the chief executive officers, chief financial officers, and heads of strategic investment departments of major service industry firms in Hong Kong. Further information and insights were obtained from the personal interviews with respondents who were willing to allocate time to participate.

Download or read book Strategic Investment Decisions written by Chris Carr and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Shank (in this special edition) summarises the argument for complementing a capital budgeting approach to investment decisions with a broader strategic cost management (SCM) accounting approach incorporating three additional tools __ value chain analysis, cost driver analysis and competitive advantage analysis. This article first discusses how this new framework might be assessed empirically and then examines the application of these techniques in practice, drawing on 51 case studies of strategic investment decision in 44 companies in Britain and Germany (including U.S. subsidiaries in both countries). There are substantial international differences, German companies placing much more emphasis on strategy in their approach. In general, compared with successful companies, successful companies placed proportionately five times as much attention on the issue of competitive advantage, almost three times as much on value chain considerations and twice as much on cost drivers; commensurably less attention was placed on traditional capital budgeting techniques. Finally, we draw conclusions on the role of the finance function and of such techniques within the context of strategic planning.
