Building Blocks
Valuation should assume not only predictable future Cash Flows but also intertemporal &
interasset path dependencies (Real options) and also rival‘sresponses (Game Theory)
Competitive Advantage= Sustainably earning more (than CoC)
Adaptive Capability = Exploiting change in the market
Strategic Position = Interact & Win

Financial call option has the same characteristics as a levered
position in the underlying share
Position in the underlying share (equity) of a levered firm is on
itself an option on the firm‘s assets upon debt paydown.
Asset‘s value is a package of embedded corporate real options

Volatility + fierce Competition = shrinking horizon over which
we can confidently estimate cash flows.
Real options add dynamic perspective to how the investment
paths may unfold. Management can learn, adapt and revise
future investment and strategic plans in response to the market
development.
Dynamic perspective is added by incorporating the valua of
this flexibility and growth opportunities.
NPV = “now or never”
Reality = “wait-and-see”

Timing (Simple)
The option to delay an investment until more market
information becomes known (e.g. when to start with an
exploration of a resource, when to build a production facility)
Growth (Compound)
The option to grow when an initial investment is made and a
strategic position is acquired (e.g. R&D Investment, Brand-Name
embedded options – to introduce new products)
Operating
The option to abandon, to temporarily shut down, contract and
expand, to switch inputs/outputs which hedges the downside
risk of an investment or captures some upside potential (e.g.
option to temporarily shut down when output prices fall)

The (proprietary) option to wait is particularly valuable in
resource extraction industries, farming, paper products, and
real estate development due to the high uncertainties, long
investment horizons and limited competitive erosion
Shared investment opportunities. In high-tech industries such
as computers or consumer electronics, competitors can
substantially influence a firm’s opportunity. At a minimum,
exogenous competitive entry may introduce a dividend-like
effect on such a growth option’s value that may justify early
exercise (discussed next); endogenous competitive interactions
can add further complications that require a game-theoretic
treatment

What is INVEST NOW vs WAIT-AND-SEE value?
What is really of interest in an uncertain world is not the value of investment per se, but
rather the value of an opprotunity to invest

Sony & Phillips both consider developing CD technology:
1. Sony goes alone
2. Sony waits and sahres the payoffs 50/50
Option value of the incumbent got eroded by exogenous
competitive entry – Game Theoretic element
A firm anticipating competitive entry, tends to commit to
excess capacity building to preempt the market
In the absence of the exogenous competition, firm might choose
to wait and enjoy the flexibility benefits
Shared option to defer

Option to expand: C1 = Max[NPV of expansion (eV- I), 0]
Option to contract: C2 = Max[NPV of contraction (Rc - cV), 0]
Option Portfolio VALUE = C1 | C2 = Max[0, (eV – I), (Rc - cV)]
If +: Max[0, (0.5 x 180 - 40), (35 - 0.5 x180)] = 50 (expand by 50%)
If - : Max[0, (0.5 x 60 - 40), (35 - 0.5 x 60)] = 5 (contract to half the scale)
Expanded PV = static PV + value of the options

3 steps to value a compounded option
1. Construct an event tree of the underlying values
2. Make decision based on conditional payoffs
3. Calculate the PV of the conditional payoffs

Step 1. Extended
Decisions we face:
1. Should we undertake the R&D?
2. Should we invest afterwards?
Flexibility element is absolutely crucial!
Without it only a fool would undertake
R&D ventures.
Notice the similarity with call option:
Time to maturity: 2yr (European)
Exercise price: 1 200 MIO USD
Vega(Volatility): captured by sigma 0,41
The optimal decision is determined at the
end-node!
Remember, the worst possible outcome
after the exploration can be 0!

1,5 − 0,67
= 0,45
𝐶 =

𝐶 =

Winners Curse
If the average bid is accurate, than the highest bidder is the sucker!
By definition, winners in auction are lead to overpay
The average bid is unimportant
The more uncertainty there is, the more likely the winner is to overpay

• Application is a MINDSET! Translate the quantitative logic into
qualitativethinking about investment opportunities
• As a valuation tool: The valuation part can create additional value by
quantifying the merits of strategic alternatives and helping assess tradeoffs
and attach price tags in investment decisions. The framework can
provide clear management recommendations and executable
actions.
• Real-life projects are often more complex, and may involve a collection of
interacting real options. Sometimes there may be a synergistic effect, but
the combined value typically is less than the sum of the parts.
