Title: Real Options: Managing Strategic Investment in an Uncertain World by Martha Amram, Nalin Kulatilaka ISBN: 0-87584-845-1 Publisher: Oxford University Press Pub. Date: December, 1998 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $45.00 |

Summary: Excellent overview, a bit off on target audience focus
Comment: This is an excellent book to get an overview of real options, IF you are already familiar with the valuation of financial options. Otherwise, you would find yourself disbelieving the valuation process, which is not very well covered here. You can't really blame the authors since this is not a book on option valuation.
If you have already studied financial options, then you will find the parallels drawn to real assets very interesting & instructive. The argument that corporate management with real-options will, in the long run, be rewarded by investors, is intriguing & plausible, but not well supported in the book.
In short, I would recommend this book to corporate managers who have studied financial options in college and for whom real options may not have come up before as a decision-making approach.

Summary: Best user friendly treaty on Real Options.
Comment: This is an excellent book on the subject. It is the most readable and user friendly book on the market on Real Options. You don't need to understand Greek to tackle this book unlike the other ones. The author clearly explains the Black Scholes option model, the foundation of option valuation. They then illustrate how this model can be applied to non option business investment opportunities. The authors establish a real option framework to handle your business decision. It explores many practical cases in detail, so you get a good feeling for this approach. The authors also flesh out when it is better to use Black Scholes vs. Monte Carlo simulation in order to make a business decision.
Rating: 3
Summary: At least this book is readable
Comment: The only saving grace about this book is that it is readable. However, the reason for this is because there is not much to learn about RO from this book. The author's talk about numerous examples and the "concept" of how RO was applied. But, you will not learn the actual process of using RO, unlike Copeland's or Trigeorgis' book.
