Corporate Profit and Nuclear Safety: Strategy at Northeast Utilities in the 1990s
It is a disappointing reading and I eventually gave up. If you have some mathematics background and want to purchase and use the author's softwares for fun, the book is a good guidance and textbook. That's it.
I expected something which can explain to business people how to calculate the value and consider it with the value from traditional valuation methodologies. Most examples are high level, qualitative and back looking (justify the result using real option)
Frankly it's not an issue of this book. It's an issue of the whole concept of real option which is still mostly in the textbook and seldom used by real business and financial world quantitatively. It's no problem for the MBA graduated CEOs to accept the concept and incorporate in the business development and strategy making process, but how comfortable are they to actually rely on and trust the numbers they are presented?
