摘要
How to evaluate a research and development(R&D) project is a crucial topic in R&D management. The use of net present value(NPV) analysis as the evaluation of R&D projects has aroused much doubts. The so called 'real options' approach has gained growing attention on application in the field of R&D. Real options approach permits a more flexible assessment of the future growth opportunities. NPV method usually fails to capture all the future opportunities and leads to an under investment in R&D. Real options approach is more appropriate to evaluate an R&D project. After a comparison of real options with traditional NPV a model of combining binomial model with Black-Scholes formula to R&D projects valuation is presented.
