Project portfolio selection is a crucial decision in many organizations, which must make informed decisions on investment, where the appropriate distribution of investment is complex, due to varying levels of risk, resource requirements, and interaction among the proposed projects.

Management of intellectual capital is an important issue in knowledge intensive organizations. Part of this is the composition of the optimal project portfolio the organization will carry out in the future. Standard methods that guide this process mostly focus on project selection on the basis of expected returns. However, in many cases other strategic factors should be considered in their inte...

recently, the economic crisis has resulted in instability in stock exchange market and this has caused high volatilities in stock value of exchanged firms. under these conditions, considering uncertainty for a favorite investment is more serious than before. multi-objective portfolio selection (return, liquidity, risk and initial cost of investment objectives) using minmax fuzzy goal programmin...

Portfolio selection for strategic management is a crucial activity in many organizations, and it is concerned with a complex process that involves many decision-making situations. In order to decide which of the proposed projects should be retained in the final project portfolio, numerous conflicting criteria must be considered.

We consider a project selection problem where each project has an uncertain return with partially characterized probability distribution. The decision maker selects a feasible subset of projects so that the risk of the portfolio return not meeting a specified target is minimized. To model and evaluate this risk, we propose and justify a general performance measure, the Underperformance Riskines...

Methods for the selection of a research and development (R&D) project portfolio have attracted considerable interest among practitioners and academics. However, these methods have found limited use in practice, partly because they have encountered difficulties in capturing uncertainties and interdependencies related to R&D projects. Motivated by these difficulties, we develop Contingent Portfol...

This paper presents two fuzzy portfolio selection models where the objective is to minimize the downside risk constrained so that a given expected return should be achieved. We assume that the rates of returns on securities are approximated as LR-fuzzy numbers of the same shape, and that the expected return and risk are evaluated by interval-valued means. We establish the relationship between t...
