Abstract

This paper deals with the issue of flexibility in long term planning decisions. By shedding light on the converging and complementary features of Real Options Valuation (ROY) and Robustness Analysis (ROA), we suggest a new framework for assessing investments decisions under uncertainty. A two-dimensional model is provided to measure the feasibility of medium and long-range investments. An example based on a comparison of three IT projects is analysed for illustration.
