The primary contribution of this book is to integrate the important
disciplines which simultaneously impact the investment appraisal
process. The book presents a study that develops a new approach to
investment appraisal which uses a multiple objective linear programming
(MOLP) model to integrate the selected disciplines which include capital
markets, corporate governance and capital budgeting. The research covers
two case studies, one in the e-commerce sector and another in the
airline industry in which the above disciplines are integrated. Readers
from the areas of corporate governance, regulation, and accounting would
find the survey of different approaches and the new integrated
optimization approach particularly useful.
