Real options analysis is 30 years old, but there is still little guidance on how actually to implement it in practice. This book develops the building blocks of real options analysis and shows readers how to apply them to a wide variety of problems in business and economics. Also included will be a CD with spreadsheets intended for a broad range of real-world applications.

Thoroughly grounded in an extensive body of international research and analysis, Managing Knowledge Work and Innovation demonstrates that knowledge work depends primarily on the behaviours, attitudes and motivations of those who undertake and manage it and not simply on the implementation of information systems technology.
