We present a portfolio selection methodology that responds to three major goals that most R&D organizations are concerned with – effectiveness, efficiency, and balance. The methodology uses a strategy-oriented, multi-criterion, evaluation model that integrates concepts from data envelopment analysis (DEA) and balanced scorecard (BSC). It is based on two subsequent phases. At the first phase ind...

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...

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. They include economic, personnel development, and corporate image....

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...

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...
