Abstract

Uncertainty plays a significant role in all investment decision-making. In the previous chapter the analysis of single investment projects under conditions of uncertainty was discussed. This chapter now expands to methods and models for analysing investment programmes in such environments. When investment programmes are planned, often many (or even an infinite number of) investment alternatives exist, considerably complicating analytical models and/or evaluations that attempt to take account of uncertainty. Limitations on the ranges of uncertain conditions or investment alternatives then become necessary. The chapter includes a description of portfolio selection and of flexible planning.
