Abstract
Real option Analysis (ROA) is acknowledged as a powerful tool to evaluate uncertain projects whose uncertainty depends heavily on alternatives available along the project life. The R&D process in the pharmaceutical industry has a long and dynamic life then it is an ideal field of application for ROA. Actually, ROA implementation, as widely demonstrated in literature, is narrowed to very limited cases because its perceived complexity. This research wants to suggest a simplified method, respect the ones available in literature, that could foster the use of ROA: we built up an integer linear programming model, based on a model available in literature, useful for selecting the optimal R&D product portfolio from a set of candidate drugs. This model is quiet easy to implement in a spreadsheet, as shown in developed application able to solve an actual pharmaceutical portfolio selection case study.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
