Portfolio selection problem deals with how to form a satisfying portfolio, taking into account the uncertainty involved in the behavior of the financial markets. Markowitz (1952) established the relationship between the mean and variance of the investment in the framework of risk-return trade-off. Since then a variety of enlarged and improved models have been developed in several directions. So...

Abstract—This paper seeks to give a general idea of the universe of project portfolio management, from its multidisciplinary nature, to the many challenges it raises, passing through the different techniques, models and tools used to solve the multiple problems known. It is intended to contribute to the clarification, with great depth, of the impacts and relationships involved in managing the p...

the stock evaluation process plays an important role in portfolio selection because it is the prerequisite for investment and directly influences on the stock allocation. this paper presents a methodology based on data envelopment analysis for portfolio selection, decision making units which can be stocks or other financial assets. first, dmus efficiencies are computed based on input/output com...

Existing project selection models do not consider the complexity of projects as a selection criterion, while their complexity may prolong the project duration and even result in its failure. In addition, existing models cannot formulate the aggregate complexity of the selected projects. The aggregated complexity is not always equal to summation of complexity of projects because of possible syne...

In traditional information technology project portfolio management (ITPPM), managers often pay more attention to the optimization of portfolio selection in the initial stage. In fact, during the portfolio implementation process, there are still issues to be optimized. Organizing cooperation will enhance the efficiency, although it brings more immediate risk due to the complex variety of links b...

This paper deals with a portfolio selection problem with independently estimated possibilistic return rates. Under such a circumstance, a distributive investment has been regarded as a good solution in the traditional portfolio theory. However, the conventional possibilistic approach yields a concentrated investment solution. Considering the reason why a distributive investment is advocated, a ...

This paper touches the current state of the art for selection algorithms of projects in a project portfolio and extends the existing approaches by prioritizing projects according to their strategic contribution based on a Balanced Scorecard (BSC).
