In this paper, we estimate the value of an Information Communication Technology (ICT) investment opportunity, modeled as a Real Option (RO), when there is competition threat that can influence negatively its value or even more eliminate it. We put our analysis in the revenue management concept,...

Information-Communication Technology (ICT) investments analysis using Real Options (ROs) has been a subject of active research during the last decade. It is a flexible method to value investment opportunities and to derive optimal timing of investments deployment taking into account...

Traditional investment analysis approaches such as discounted cash flow and net present value do not capture the flexibility in the investment evaluation. In this paper, Real Options (ROs) are used to capture the value of flexibility in the evaluation of optical fibre investments along a...
