Call Option in the world of real goods

real options analysis as a method for evaluating investments under uncertainty with options in several posts was an issue (see 2010, all 24 May).

For a presentation I just did a real shift option (equivalent to a call option) with reduced, simplified figures and parameters is short.

Company A has developed a new innovative product. This was done in close cooperation with suppliers, in the framework of this project, in turn, brought a technical innovation for mass production.
There were no agreements on exclusivity, as expected as Company A "First to Market" a sustained advantage over subsequent imitators.

The assessment of the market has However, last year changed dramatically. The sales opportunities for the product and thus seem attainable future margins to be very insecure with high variability.

consider Company A, with production and market introduction IMPOSE FINES and still having to buy from the supplier the exclusive rights to the solution for three years.

The question is: What is this exclusivity - ie, make the right investment decision within the next three years to be able to - worth it?

numbers:
The investment for the production start is (base period value t0) € 11 million
maturity = 10 years
cash flow from the product sales = € 3 million per annum (as I said - in simplified form, ie no start-up curve, etc ...)
rate discrete = remove 12% pa

to how the graphs below, the value of the option depends strongly on the expected volatility of future profit margins. are

In a volatility of 10% in the period t1 99.9% of the present value of future DB's 13433-25745 (see chart 1)
In this case, the option has no value (see Chart 3) The probability of
immediate investment is 100% (see Chart 4)

At a volatility of 50% is in the period t1 99.9% the present value of future DB's 3243-83875 (see Figure 2)
In this case, the option has a value of almost € over a million (see Chart 3)
The probability of the exercise ie the investment drops to 75% and is first year, 63.8% (see Chart 4)

Overall, the results fall for the option only at high volatilities clearly.
The reason is that assumed was that only the volumes are uncertain and that all current payments and receipts be proportional to the amount. Therefore, the contribution can not be negative.

Had ongoing fixed costs involved, the value of the option would already respond to low volatility increases more.

BSC - All good things come in threes

Last Post is:
"right" indicators are thus based on a "right" strategy. If this is not only promising, but also along the entrepreneurial cause / effect chain formulated consistent result from the strategic aims (market processes Etc ...) the necessary measures in the structure of a BSC quasi automatically.
had
In subsequent discussions, I find that this requires more specific.

1. Strategic success position (SEP) are skills that enable to achieve, compared to the competition on average results.
2. These capabilities are targeted at the perfect fulfillment of the purchasing decision for the relevant customer segment factors (such as technical product quality, delivery, consulting, image, distribution channels, price) materialize in the visible to the customer special Produkt-/Marktleistung.
3. September Any specific needs with perfectly aligned processes and these in turn, appropriate management structures and staff.
4. Based on the knowledge structure of this effect can be developed in "opposite" direction, a logical target chain. See Figure 1
5. A consistently formed along the results chain strategy involves locking the layers: Finance -> Market Performance -> Processes -> Staff and management
6. Each level in turn be divided into realization and concretization steps: What do we want ( SEP) -> .. to achieve the goals -> with what .. existing or future skills - are> .. what measures necessary for that purpose.
7. The specification levels goals and measures require (force) measurable targets. See Figure 2
8. Schlussfogerung: ... so that the necessary measurement Great result in the structure of a BSC or less automatically.

Balanced Strategy - Balanced Scorecard

Addressing strategy has regained importance. The number of strategic projects is increasing and there is an increased discussion to identify strategic indicators.
The key point in this discussion is the question of the "real" figures.

The concept of the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), the need for monitoring of all business fields of interaction - in terms of four levels - brought to consciousness. Remained open and will remain: What indicators of Finance, Marketing, HR processes, and (in the meantime been replaced in part by "innovation" among others) are correct or useful? How are they related?

am in my lectures on strategy and identification number of participants I confronted with the question of the (general) valid codes. Unfortunately
I have to disappoint in this regard are: There is no best, Kennziffernset valid.
But -> This is not only reassuring but pleasing

• figures are packed information
• information on actions aimed at
• actions must be aligned with strategic objectives
• Therefore, code can be precisely derived from the strategic objectives

"right" indicators are thus based on a "right" strategy. If this is not only promising, but also along the entrepreneurial Ursachen-/Wirkungskette formulated consistent (see previous post), resulting from the strategic Objectives (market, processes, etc ...) the necessary measures in the structure of a quasi BSC automatically.

The measured variables must withstand the following questions:

• What is the target to be measured?
• What you would notice that one has achieved the goal X?
• Can the measure to achieve the desired objective can be read?
• is thus the behavior of the employees affected in the desired direction?
• is a unique interpretation of the code be?
• is recordable ensures the data?

After the "correct" reference are defined, taking its dependencies from the logical link between the strategic objectives (process goals require specific market objectives, etc.) can be derived and deposited in the BSC.
Standing by also focusing on the essentials (few but important figures), the system can be easily - eg. implement - with Excel and hyperlinks.

Balanced Strategy

in the post from 28 June ("Malik at a loss"), I've strategy mentioned as one of the important management tasks of the future.

In a buyers point of view and from an increasingly globalized world

• anticipating future customer expectations
• unique on specific skills
• clear recognition of skills through the development and support customers
• these skills throughout the organization
• maximum adaptability (flexibility)

opt for sustainable success.

The best strategy is solitary and strenuous labor. Contradict common strategy concepts:

• acquisition of the key points of the strategy of industry experts
• Formulate strategies of tools (For example: From the position in the life cycle curve, the market portfolio in ... .. in ... .. is derived from the following strategy )
• copying successful concepts (It is always: "Observe your enemies, but you never copy")

is important for a successful strategy and its implementation, the creative process *) methodologically and organizationally precise and taut to lead.

requires Das:

• method knowledge
• project management
• moderation skills
• personally no substantive involvement in the strategy

*)
The main steps in this process are (on steps 5 through 9, I am in one of the next posts in more detail received):
