Real Options Analysis Course : Business Cases and Software Applications (Book and CD ROM)

Book Description

Praise for Real Options Analysis Course

"Dr. Mun's latest book is a logical extension of the theory and application presented in Real Options Analysis. More specifically, the Real Options Analysis Course presents numerous real options examples and provides the reader with step-by-step problem-solving techniques. After having read the book, readers will better understand the underlying theory and the opportunities for applying real option theory in corporate decision-making."
-Chris D. Treharne, President, Gibraltar Business Appraisals, Inc.

"This text provides an excellent follow up to Dr. Mun's first book, Real Options Analysis. The cases in Real Options Analysis Course provide numerous examples of how the use of real options and the Real Options Analysis Toolkit software can assist in the valuation of strategic and managerial flexibility in a variety of arenas."
-Charles T. Hardy, PhD, Chief Financial Officer & Director of Business Development, Panorama Research, Inc.

"Most of us come to real options from the perspective of our own areas of expertise. Mun's great skill with this book is in making real options analysis understandable, relevant, and immediately applicable to the field within which you are working."
-Robert Fourt, Partner, Gerald Eve (UK)

"Mun provides a practical step-by-step guide to applying simulation and real options analysis-invaluable to those of us who are no longer satisfied with conventional valuation approaches alone."
-Fred Kohli, Head of Portfolio Management, Syngenta Crop Protection Ltd. (Switzerland)

Book Description

Fundamental Concepts in the Design of Experiments, 5/e offers comprehensive coverage of the key elements of experimental design used by applied researchers to solve problems in the field. Wide-ranging and accessible, it shows students how to use applied statistics for planning, running, and analyzing experiments. Featuring over 350 problems taken from the authors' actual industrial consulting experiences, the text gives students valuable practice with real data and problem solving. The problems emphasize the basic philosophy of design and are simple enough for students with limited mathematical backgrounds to understand. The authors provide extensive coverage of the analysis of residuals, the concept of resolution in fractional replications, Plackett-Burman designs, and Taguchi techniques. SAS (Statistical Analysis System) computer programs are incorporated to facilitate analysis. Thoroughly revised and updated, this new edition includes sixty new problems, focuses more on computer use (adding computer outputs from statistical packages like Minitab, SPSS, and JMP), and emphasizes graphical procedures including residual plots and normal quantile plots. Ideal for various advanced undergraduate and graduate experimental methods courses taught in statistics, engineering, and mathematics departments, this book will also appeal to professionals and researchers doing experimental work.

Fundamental Concepts in the Design of Experiments.......2000-09-16

This book is very valuable for those actively engaged in the conduct of experiments, either operational or developmental in nature. It does require someone with a background in statistical methods using analysis of variance. The user needs to have a good understanding of statistical inference. There are many good working models of various analytic procedures provided.

Excellent, if you already know theoretical statistics.......1999-06-12

This book is written for people who already know the theory of statistics and want to do statistic consulting.

The author begins with the basics of design of experiments: experiment, design and analysis. Then a brief (lovely) review of statistical inference follows; including: Estimation, test of hypothesis, power function and some easy applications.

In the following chapters almost all statistical methods are presented; among others: single factor experiments, randomized block and latin square, factorial experiments, nested, experiments of two or more factors, 2^f -, 3^f factorials, split plot design, Taguchi, regression and finally miscellaneous topics including covariance analysis, response-surface experimentation and more.

After each chapter there are problems and answers to odd-numbered problems can be found at the end of the book. Included is a practical summery with all methods presented in one table. Additionally you find a glossary of terms used in statisics, statistical tables and an index.

The examples in the book are analysed using SAS. Knowing that S-Plus is much easier to handle (and knowing that SAS is frequently used in the industry), this is very useful.

The mathematics used is easy, but - as mentioned in the preface - the fundamental concepts of statistical inference must be known.

Statistics by example only - very little theory/concepts.......1999-03-14

After using this book for a class, we all agreed that this book was not the best for those of us who are just learning the concepts in analyzing variance. The author tends to assume the basics are "hard-coded" into the students head. Fair enough. His next step, however, is not to discuss the theory/concept. Rather, it is to give an example of what he is talking about, hoping you will grasp the concept. It would very helpful to have the concepts explained and then the examples given. In addition, the notation (subscripts) are not always explained, nor are the formulas obvious/straightforward. Finally, the book has editing problems.

A better editor and supplementary manuals (step-by-step explanation of concepts and formulas, SPSS instruction, etc.) would be a big help.

My recommendation would be to find another book from which you will learn statistics.

Book Description

Examining how the `here and now' of space, territory, the body, are being redefined by new technologies and how this undoes simplistic versions of the globalization thesis, Paul Virilio demonstrates how technology has made inertia the defining condition of modernity. An instantaneous present has replaced space and the sovereignty of territory; everything happens without the need to go anywhere. This book will be a key reference for students and scholars of the latest thinking in social theory.

Product Description

Reyner Banham once observed that in Los Angeles "mobility outweighs monumentality." What was true for the automobile is fast becoming true for the home. It is possible today to live on wheels, to be completely transient and yet remain completely connected. Noted contemporary architect Ted Kane takes a critical look at how city life predicated on total mobility and utterly dependent upon the corporate-controlled wireless world is expanding the meaning of urbanity while constricting the bedrock virtue of citizenship. It is possible today to live on wheels, to be completely transient and yet remain completely connected. In Polar Inertia, Ted Kane's snapshot-like photographs accompanied by his critical writing examine the transformative qualities of cell phones, satellite dishes, RV's, and taco trucks on urban form. An absolute "must have" handbook to anyone thinking of an alternative lifestyle while still connected to their Blackberry. Introduction by Greg Goldin.

Book Description

With the help of the method of synergetics this study shows a consistent formal derivation of the dynamics of a macroeconomic system as the effect of the decision behavior of the microeconomic agents. A special issue is the economic interpretation of the synergetic modelling of the microlevel and its relation to other economic research on microfoundations of the macroeconomics, i. e. the New Classical and the New Keynesian approach. The transformation of a well-known macroeconomic business cycle model into a micro-based synergetic model gives an illustrative example how the method can be applied to economic problems. It can be shown that the transformed model generates new interesting features like inherent and assymetric cycles, a high stability to exogenous shocks and even a so called "deterministic chaos". Beside these new features the main structure of the basic model in terms of the causality of the relevant parameters remains unchanged. Thus, the investigation gives the researcher an example of a method that makes it possible to "test" the macroeconomic effects of different behavior assumptions of the economic agents on the macrolevel in a dynamic context. The work ends with an attempt of an interpretation of macroeconomic data of the FRG in the last thirty years in the way that it is traced back to changes in the behavior of the economic agents.

Book Description

It has been said that given an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters, one could eventually produce the complete works of William Shakespeare. Our budget, however, only allowed us one rented monkey with a crayon and a paper sack, so this was the best we could do.

Crazy like a fox, or maybe a raccoon.......2002-06-06

... I ordered his book on a whim, and I'm glad to find it's just as off-kilter and hilarious. This collection of stories, essays and poems is a gleeful swirl of the mundane and the ridiculous. "How-to" articles that never get around to addressing the subject at hand, stories that spin out of control in bizarre directions but still somehow manage a 3-point landing, an epic poem composed in limerick form, and more. This book is nutty. It's also rich and chocolatey, filled with caramel goodness.

Diamond in the Rough.......2001-08-22

Gatsby Returns is humor at it's finest! The short stories are easy to read and leave you laughing out loud with every page that turns. The author puts a truly amazing spin on each story, leading the reader to places they never thought they'd end up! This book is a must read for everyone, and should be included on required reading lists everywhere. Don't miss this great work!

Brilliant and Insane.......2001-08-19

This collection of short stories blew me out of the water! The twists on words will slap you upside the head to stun your reading with laughter. All I can say is genius is found on every page. Read it! Read it! Read it!

Sleepy, Sophomoric, Stupid.......2001-07-31

I stumbled across this book by accident and read portions of it on the web before realizing that it's an XLibris book and not something that's been published by an actual publisher. Thank God! The humor is not half as bad as the prose, but that's not to say the humor isn't bad. Boring at best, stupid at worst. Nothing you can't get by spending an evening liquored up with some friends. Save your money! Spend it on beer.
