Net Present Value (NPV) criterion has been the most widely used criterion to evaluate investment opportunities. However, the analysis based on the NPV criterion falls to consider the managerial flexibility of deferring decisions until major uncertainty is resolved. Recently, real options method attracted a lot of attention as a Powerful approach to address the problem. If investment decision is deferred, the value of the investment opportunity increases but opportunity cost increases at the same time. Therefore, it is important to decide the optimal timing how long the decision can be deferred. In this paper, we developed a model deciding the optimal decision timing. Using the real options approach, the model derived the optimal deferring time until a decision is made. Then, the model was applied to a Korean mobile telecommunications company who wants to invest on the wireless resale business. We believe that this model would be very useful to overcome the problem of NPV decision criterion. With this approach, we can make contingent decisions based on the observation of uncertainly resolutions.

We evaluate the economic value and the optimal investment timing of IMT-2000 in Korea, in the perspective of a service provider who owns the business license for IMT-2000, by using the real options analysis. The result clearly shows the project value with options is positive and delaying the investment is more favorable to the provider. Binomial lattice approach, in which we try to describe American call option and sequential compound option, and sensitivity analysis present the optimal decisions according to future states and enable the management to make decision strategically and proactively.

In recent years, advanced countries in energy sector are emphasizing the importance of the development and deployment of renewable energy to cope with the global environmental crisis such as depletion of fossil energy, climate convention to control emissions of greenhouse gases. In this paper, we evaluate the economic value of the investment in new and renewable energy R&D in Korea and optimal deployment timing of new and renewable energy by using the real option approach. The real option model adopted in this paper assumes that a decision maker has a compound option to abandon, deployment, or continue the R&D. As a result by using empirical data of Korea, it is found that there exists a considerable amount of positive real option value (ROV) in the investment of new and renewable energy R&D while its net present value (NPV) calculated by traditional discounted cash flow (DCF) model shows negative value.

지금까지 정보화의 중요성과 더불어 정보화 투자 규모는 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며 정보기술 도입에 수반되는 위험, 불확실성 및 복잡성 등으로 인해 대규모 정보화 투자 시 보다 체계적인 의사결정이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 금융권 정보시스템의 교체 전략 시 고려할 수 있는 여러 요인 중의 하나인 경제적 비용 절감 관점에서, 최적의 경제수명을 도출하기 하기 위한 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 지금까지 비용 집계가 어려워 가정된 데이터를 가지고 연구된 경제 수명에 대한 연구를 활용하여 국내 K금융에서 실제 정보시스템이 구축/운영되면서 발생한 모든 IT비용을 집계하여, 경제적 비용 관점에서 유형별로 정보시스템의 최적 수명을 제시하였다. 향후 같은 유형의 정보시스템의 경제적인 교체시기를 예측하여 IT투자의사결정에서 활용할 수 있도록 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이라 할 수 있다.
