Valuation of Corporate Growth Opportunities
How can we value an enterprise, like a young internet start-up company, that has no earnings or cash flows, so that traditional and conventional valuation techniques are therefore not applicable? One of the most notable recent industrial revolutions has been the emergence of Biotechnology and Internet companies. Most of these technology companies are predominantly young with no history of earnings or cash flows to evaluate. This book addresses the problem, and presents a model for valuing enterprises that may have no existing assets but only growth opportunities.

Valuation of Internal Growth Opportunities
Internal growth opportunities are valued as a real option. In this model, a firm gains access to productive technology by successfully completing a basic Ramp;D project before its competitors and introducing a new product into the market. Ramp;D strategically impacts the speed of innovation. The existence of competition lowers the expected time of discovery. Both project value and capital expenditure - the strike price of the option, are considered stochastic. The volatility of the strike price and the cost of hedging it, project value and risk, and the firm's success rate are shown to have positive impact on growth value, whereas the time of innovation, the strike price, and the correlation of project value with strike price have a negative effect.
A Stochastic Control Framework for Real Options in Strategic Evaluation
The theoretical foundation for real options goes back to the mid 1980s and the development of a model that forms the basis for many current applications of real option theory. Over the last decade the theory has rapidly expanded and become enriched thanks to increasing research activity. Modern real option theory may be used for the valuation of entire companies as well as for particular investment projects in the presence of uncertainty. As such, the theory of real options can serve as a tool for more practically oriented decision making, providing management with strategies maximizing its capital market value. This book is devoted to examining a new framework for classifying real options f...
Executive Compensation and Business Policy Choices at U. S. Commercial Banks
This study examines whether and how the terms of CEO compensation contracts at large commercial banks between 1994 and 2006 influenced, or were influenced by, the risky business policy decisions made by these firms. The authors find strong evidence that bank CEOs responded to contractual risk-taking incentives by taking more risk; bank boards altered CEO compensation to encourage executives to exploit new growth opportunities; and bank boards set CEO incentives in a manner designed to moderate excessive risk-taking. These relationships are strongest during the second half of the author¿s sample, after deregulation and technological change had expanded banks' capacities for risk-taking. Charts and tables.
