Understanding the competitive process: a guide to effective intervention in the small firms sector

Article Abstract:

Small firms in Telford, United Kingdom, were used to develop selection critieria for granting aid, in order for the assistance to be effective. The firms' potential was assessed through evaluating their competitive stance, and this can help in deciding on the form in which aid should be granted. Firms can also be classified by stance type, and the elements involved in the concept of competitive stance can be broken down and identified.

Estimating NPV variability for deterministic models

Article Abstract:

A three-step approach was formulated to gather information on the variability of an investment project's net present value (NPV). The approach, which was based on experimental design theory and regression metamodel, generates data involving NPV variability through systematic factor variation. It utilizes experimental design theory to assists analysts in the creation of estimates regarding interactions between factors.
