A good model of the relationship between the market demand and prices plays a fundamental role in much economic decision-making. However, many decision-making models use either incomplete demand functions which are defined only on a restricted domain, or functions that do not reflect market reality. In the first part of this paper, we explain our motivation behind a complete reasonable definiti...

Managerial flexibilities have to be taken into account in ex-ante decision-making on IT investment projects (ITIPs). In many papers of the IS literature, standard financial option pricing models are used to value such managerial flexibilities. Based on a review of the related literature, the paper critically discusses the assumptions of the most frequently used financial option pricing model, n...

The Black–Scholes Option pricing model (OPM) developed in 1973 has always been taken as the cornerstone of option pricing model. The generic applications of such a model are always restricted by its nature of not being suitable for fuzzy environment since the decision-making problems occurring in the area of option pricing are always with a feature of uncertainty. When an investor faces an opti...

the strategic pricing decisions of assembly products in assembly products supply chain are studied in this paper. firstly, a two-stage assembly products supply chain model is developed. by building nash game model, the nash equilibrium solution of pricing strategy of supplier and assemblers is obtained. next, a union decision model is built to analyze the optimal combination pricing strategy of...

This paper focuses on inconsistencies arising from the use of NPV and CAPM for capital budgeting. It shows that (i) CAPM capital budgeting decision-making based on disequilibrium NPV is deductively inferred by the Capital Asset Pricing Model, (ii) the use of the disequilibrium NPV is widespread in finance both as a decision rule and as a valuation tool, (iii) the disequilibrium NPV does not gua...
