Project Valuation - Online

All organizations, big or small, battle with one constant constraint - limited resources and unlimited ambitions. The ever increasing demand for higher shareholder's worth keeps increasing the pressure on these resources, be it monetary, physical or intangible assets. This in turn forces the management to make rational decisions when investing the resources, leading to the need of valuation of a project.

This e-learning course on Project Valuation introduces the various methods of project valuations and their respective pitfalls. It provides the learner an in-depth understanding of various project valuation techniques with practical examples of applying these techniques. The course also discusses the project interaction situations such as capital rationing, mutually exclusive projects, among others. Finally, it explains how project analysis is conducted using techniques such as sensitivity analysis, scenario and break even analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation.
