A longitudinal survey of capital budgeting practices in 100 large British companies between 1975 and 1992 was conducted. This study provides a more significant comparison of developments in investment approaches over time. Moreover, it illuminates on the area of capital budgeting which tends to be confusing as a result of earlier surveys depending on various research designs and getting low response rates. Results of the survey demonstrate an increase in the use of sophisticated capital budgeting techniques.
