Evaluating technological investments has been a central concern in industrial engineering research and practice for decades. Critical path method (CPM), PERT and project portfolio management (PPM) are intangible frameworks that are most widely used to attain utmost efficiency and increase the technical and financial benefits in small scale industries to big corporate companies. The benefits of ...

Devices that integrate multiple functions together are popular in consumer electronic markets. Examples include the cellular phone that takes digital pictures and plays MP3’s, the PDA with cell phone, and multi-function office machines. We describe these multi-function devices as fusion products since they fuse together products which traditionally stand alone in the marketplace. In this paper,...

Adaptive portfolio management has been studied in the literature of neural nets and machine learning. The recently developed Temporal Factor Analysis (TFA) model mainly targeted for further study of the Arbitrage Pricing Theory (APT) is found to have potential applications in portfolio management. In this paper, we aim to illustrate the superiority of APT-based portfolio management over return-...

IT spending has been recognised as representing a large percentage of the budget for organisations. Research has shown that significant value can be derived from IT investments if organisations actively and effectively manage their IT investments using a portfolio management approach. The goal of this paper is to contribute to the understanding of how IT portfolio management affects strategic I...

Software product line engineering aims at reducing development time, effort, cost, and complexity by taking advantage of the commonality within a portfolio of similar products. The effectiveness of a software product line approach directly depends on how well feature variability within the portfolio is implemented and managed throughout the development lifecycle, from early analysis through mai...

of Master's Thesis Abstract Portfolio decisions in innovation management are characterized by intangibility, complexity and future orientation. In contrast to concrete conventional selection problems with tangible alternatives, this creates additional requirements for portfolio decision making methods and software. There exist many decision analytic tools for portfolio decision making, and many...

Software product line engineering aims to reduce development time, effort, cost, and complexity by taking advantage of the commonality within a portfolio of similar products.

This study proposes a structured product (SP) for hedging defined contribution pension fund members against capital market risk. Using Monte Carlo simulations on three different guaranteed returns to test the investment strategy of SP balanced portfolio, we measure their performance across wide variety and risk scenarios. The results show that guarantees minimal return savings portfolio offers ...
