In his groundbreaking book Real Options Analysis, real options expert Johnathan Mun provided a qualitative and quantitative description of real options, the methods used in solving them, why and when they are used, and the applicability of these methods in the decision–making process. Now, in his latest endeavor–Real Options Analysis Course–Mun sets out to help you truly optimize the use of real options in the decision–making process, through an in–depth discussion of real–world business cases and innovative real options software applications.
