The assignment for every study group! Every study-group should find 10 tweets that:
You find interesting / funny That can serve as a either a summary of the
lectures or that explores an important topic Reflect on these tweets
As no one has uploaded a presentation we will turn this into a workshop – you have 20 minutes
Two groups will present

12INTRODUCTION
An option is the right, but not the obligation, to buy (or sell) an asset for a predetermined price within a predetermined period of time
Options are financial derivatives traded in financial markets
13INTRODUCTION
The value of an option depends on:
• The time before exercising the option• The value of the underlying asset• The volatility of the asset• The strike price• The interest rate

Real Options
INTRODUCTION
A Real Option is the right, but not the obligation, to invest in a business opportunity or chose a particular course of action for developing, growing or abandoning an opportunity.
17
A Real Option in R&D
INTRODUCTION
In R&D, the (real) option is to develop a new technology or product, the investment is the project and the (underlying) asset is the future cash flows from product sales.
Real options are not traded in a market.

Strategy is a sequence of
options
So identify the options
21
Flexibility can be truly valuable
22
Driving without have a complete mapFor most companies strategy is like driving without a complete map. Strategy schools talk about planned vs. emergent strategy
INTRODUCTION
Planning Driving
Having an incomplete map Adapt to signs, road andsituation
Time
Therefore it is important to identify and value your options and allow for management flexibility as new information arises
23
What are the alternatives to Real Options? Bets – Guessing
Net Present Value – several problems
Decision Tree – disregards risk of underlying assets
INTRODUCTION
24
Problems of traditional NPV
• It assumes that not investing results in flat line business performance
• It does not account for management flexibility – meaning that decisions can be deferred
• It does not account for potential growth options
• It does not value value delay and uncertainty to the same sophistication
INTRODUCTION
25
Consider RO there is a high value of flexibility

28IDENTIFY
29
Identify options – look for the clues…
IDENTIFY
”Phases”, ”Strategic Investment”, ”Milestones”, ”Alternatives”, ”Scenarios”, etc...
Examine projected cash flows: Identify the large investments – which are often discretionary – meaning they require a judgment and a decision.
30
Two conditions must be present
IDENTIFY
31
Identify the important options
IDENTIFY
What are the important things managers will learn over time
How will they use new information
Which decisions will change following new information
32
7S Framework – the different options

Flexibility has a value that should be accounted for in the valuation of a project

When do NPV and Option Pricing diverge?
WHEN THE INVESTMENT DECISIONS MAY BE DEFERRED
38VALUE
Conventional NPV misses the extra value associated with deferral because it assume that decisions can not be put off.
In contrast option pricing presumes the ability to defer and quantify the value of deferral
39
The two sources that drive value of deferral
VALUE
40
Time Value of Money
VALUE
It is more attractive to invest later than sooner..
..thus the first source of value is the time value of the money until the decision no longer can be deferred
41
Value of Volatility
VALUE
Uncertainty
The value of the underlying asset can go up or down –
we don’t know
42
This relates to the metrics
VALUE
Value to Cost
Cummulative Volatility
NPVq
43
The Value to Cost ratio
VALUE
Value to Cost NPVq
NPVq is a modification of the traditional NPV turned into a ratio
44VALUE
45
46
Cumulative volatility
VALUE
Cumulative Volatility
Variance of returns per unit of time multiplied with the number of periods - which expresses cumulative variance. Cumulative Volatility is the square root of the cumulative variance
47
Risk and Variance
VALUE
High Variance = High Risk
Low Variance = Low Risk
48
Uncertainty and volatility is influenced by time
VALUE
Long time = Everything can happen
Short time = Changes are predictable

MANAGE
Volatility is very low, meaning uncertainty has been resolved or the time
has run out
