Balancing the Strategic Value and the Operational Value in IT Portfolio Selection

چکیده
This paper provides a methodological framework in which the problem of IT project portfolio selection is solved by balancing between operational and strategic IT investments. From interviews with CIOs, we found that the interest in IT projects in many firms tends to center on operational benefits, rather than strategic benefits. We examined the impact of strategic IT investments from an IT portfolio perspective. We applied an optimization model for the IT the portfolio selection and developed a computational method to explore the impact of strategic IT investments. We found that, based on a longterm evaluation, IT portfolio selection focusing on both the operational value and the strategic value resulted in greater performance than IT portfolio selection focusing on the operational value alone. In addition, we found that the risk level of the strategic value of IT did not significantly affect the outcome of the IT portfolio in a strategic IT investment.

Investors use different approaches to select optimal portfolio. so, Optimal investment choices according to return can be interpreted in different models. The traditional approach to allocate portfolio selection called a mean - variance explains. Another approach is Markov chain. Markov chain is a random process without memory. This means that the conditional probability distribution of the nex...
متن کاملProject Portfolio Selection with the Maximization of Net Present Value
Projects scheduling by the project portfolio selection, something that has its own complexity and its flexibility, can create different composition of the project portfolio. An integer programming model is formulated for the project portfolio selection and scheduling.Two heuristic algorithms, genetic algorithm (GA) and simulated annealing (SA), are presented to solve the problem. Results of cal...
متن کاملRobust portfolio selection with polyhedral ambiguous inputs
Ambiguity in the inputs of the models is typical especially in portfolio selection problem where the true distribution of random variables is usually unknown. Here we use robust optimization approach to address the ambiguity in conditional-value-at-risk minimization model. We obtain explicit models of the robust conditional-value-at-risk minimization for polyhedral and correlated polyhedral am...

In this paper, we discuss a multiperiod portfolio selection problem with fuzzy returns. We present a new credibilitic multiperiod mean semi- absolute deviation portfolio selection with some real factors including transaction costs, borrowing constraints, entropy constraints, threshold constraints and risk control. In the proposed model, we quantify the investment return and risk associated with...
