The Simulation-Based Excess Return Model (SERM) offers a simple, practical decision-making method for underwriting real estate development projects. It addresses the shortcomings of discounted cash flow modeling by taking into account the probabilistic distribution of outcomes and is based on...

The purpose of this research was to study the recognition, application and quantification of the risks associated in managing projects. In this research, the management of risks in an oil and gas project is studied and implemented within a case company in Oman. In this study, at first, the...

Highly volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous environments (VUCA) complicate and condition project management. With the emergence of agile project management, it is proposed to co-construct it with the client's active participation. Two used agile methodologies are Scrum and Kanban. Scrum is...

This paper shows that the presence of conditional staging in R&D (Research & Development) has a critical impact on portfolio risk, and changes diversification arguments when a portfolio is constructed. When R&D projects exhibit option-like characteristics, correlation between projects plays a...

All the elements of the risk management cycle are important. But risk assessment provides the foundation for all the other elements. In particular, risk assessment represents the basis for establishing the appropriate policies and for selecting the most efficient techniques from the point of...

We present a real-world stochastic projection of nominal interest rate curves intended to integrate with Monte Carlo economic scenario generators. The model projects three time-varying parameters arising from a singular value decomposition of transformed historic interest rates, rather than...
