Summary

Real options is a flexible approach for decision making on real assets, where assets are valued by using financial option pricing models. The main idea relies on the possibilities to make future decisions with option characteristics and can be exercised under pre-specified conditions. It is necessary to identify these options, value them and comprise them into company decision-making process.
