Independent Study in Quantitative Methods (3 crs):

In this course we will study real options. Real options are options regarding management flexibility and/or allocations. For example, for a project one may have an option to abandon, to expand, to contract, to deter, or to switch. Another example is that a multinational company may have an option to relocate its resources given rises of an unpredictable situation. These options are vital in the fast-changing environment. In fact, if properly implemented in uncertain markets, these options increase the upside potentials and reduce the downside risks and therefore enhance more value for shareholders. However the standard traditional analysis fails to capture the value of these options and may not be an appropriate tool to evaluate capital investment. The recent study of real options provides alternative tools in this field, which tries to quantify the value of these options. One of the applications of real options will be illustrated by the following simple numerical example. Let Vi and Si be the project value and the price of a product at time i respectively. At time 0, the investment costs $104 with initial value (V0, S0) = (100, 20). Suppose at time 1, the product price may change and the project value may also change as a result, with upside (V1, S1) = (180, 36) or downside (V1, S1) = (60, 12), each with equal probability. Furthermore, suppose that the discount rate is 20% and risk-free interest rate is 8%. In the following we only state the results, and detailed derivation will be given in the class. Under traditional NPV (net present value) analysis, the expected project NPV is 100 – 104 = -4. Now using contingent claims analysis, we will obtain the risk-neutral probability of the markets going up p=0.4. If the company has an option to defer the investment from time 0 to time 1, then the total project value with p (including the option to defer) will be 25.07. Therefore the option to defer the investment project is 25.07 – (-4) = 29.07; about one-third of the project value. Analysis like this can enable a manager to decide how much he should pay for the option to defer an investment to some later time when he signs a contract with a supplier of equipment. In this course we will study these newly developed tools to analyze the value of real options. The theory is similar to that of financial options—though there is a significant difference between them. The lectures begin with an introduction to real option, followed by a brief review of financial options. Then we will study the methods of quantifying flexibility in capital budgeting in discrete time and in continuous time and the interactions among multiple real options. At the end we will study the options of resource allocations; in particular in multinational situations, in which the uncertainties pertain exchange rate and demand.

B6836 Managing Organisational Change

B6018 Leadership and Organisational Behaviour
The aim of this course is to develop the participant’s skills in working as an internal change agent or management consultant. The major learning vehicle of this course will be a self-initiated change project in the participant’s own organisation or another organisation with whom the participant is familiar. Participants will gain an insight into the role of a consultant by working with a client in this organisation who is introducing change into some aspects of the organisation’s functioning. This is a real project, therefore each participant will have to gain acceptance by the client, diagnose what is required and plan an implementation strategy taking into account possible resistance to change.
