high-growth, capitalintensive yet volatile sector of the economy. This
research addresses critical concerns of how, when, and why an enterprise
or a service provider should undertake new investments. The study
investigates the power of flexibility in investment decision making
process, by applying the real options methodology. Five case
applications are studied: a) investment decisions in next generation
wireless networks; b) investing in integrated wireless networks; c)
migration to wireless broadband internet services; d) valuing deployment
of Wi-Fi networks in enterprise markets; and e) valuing Hosted VOIP
services for enterprise markets. The case studies are analyzed both
qualitatively and quantitatively. |
