A Fuzzy Real Options Model for R&D Project Evaluation

Abstract:
A major advance in development of project
selection tools came with the application of options reasoning
to R&D. The options approach to project valuation seeks
to correct the deficiencies of traditional methods of valuation
through the recognition that managerial flexibility can bring
significant value to a project. The main concern is how to deal
with non-statistical imprecision we encounter when judging
or estimating future cash flows. In this paper we develop a
model for valuing options on R&D projects, when future cash
flows and expected costs are estimated by trapezoidal fuzzy
numbers.
