Gard, Erik, Jonsson, Adrian January 2022 (has links)
För att uppnå FN:s hållbarhetsmål krävs en hållbar omställning. Denna omställning kommerkräva stora investeringar inom innovation och äldre industrier. I norra Sverige pågår ett stortarbete med den gröna omställningen vilket har medfört ökad efterfrågan på arbetskraft iregionen vilket även höjt efterfrågan på bostäder. En omfattande underhållsskuld gällandefastigheter inom svenska kommuner visar på behovet av fastighetsinvesteringar i Norrbottenskommun samt övriga i Sverige. Strategiska investeringsbeslut är komplexa med mångapåverkande faktorer. Syftet med studien är därför att beskriva och förklara användandet avstyrmodeller under planeringsprocessen för strategiska investeringsbeslut inomfastighetsbranschen. Studien är kvalitativ med en abduktiv ansats där semitstruktureradeintervjuer genomförts på 6 olika organisationer inom fastighetsbranschen. Insamlad empirivisade på att investeringsbeslut fattas effektivare jämfört med vad planeringsprocessen utgjordeenligt teorin. Alla respondenter i studien uttryckte en stor potential i den hållbara omställningsom sker, gällande ämnet som helhet samt i organisationens perspektiv. Studiens resultat visaratt formell styrning implementeras i ett tidigt skede av planeringsprocessen genom finansiellakalkyler och mått. Det vanligaste måttet på en investering var totalavkastning. Studiens resultatredogör även för att informell styrning i form av erfarenhet och intuition kan påverkainvesteringsbeslut. Till sist resulterar studien i att den kommunala verksamheten till stor delpåverkas av politiska faktorer samt att dess likheter med privata organisationer är få. / To achieve the United Nations sustainability goals the world is required to make extensivechanges.

Effect of statutory and regulatory protection in investment decision / Efecto de la seguridad jurídica en la decisión de inversión

Sargsyan, Gevorg 29 June 2018 (has links)
Public interest in investments has increased dramatically during the past decades. Also parallely, there has been much research interest related with profitability, liquidity, and statutory and regulatory protection of investments, the three important pillars of investment. However, there is no similar research comparing the markets of Spain, USA and Russia in order to answer the research question of this thesis. Considering these factors, there exists need for this scientific research. The objective of this study was to discover the effect of statutory and regulatory protection in investment decision by comparing and analysing the legal environment of investments. The two steps to achieve this objective were: - Analyse and compare the legislation and securities market regulation international, national and institutional framework. - Survey. On a national level, we focused on three markets - Spain, the USA and Russia. On an institutional level, we concentrated on state agencies with regulatory power over securities markets of the above mentioned countries. The conclusion answered the main question of the work – “How does statutory and regulatory protection affect investment decisions?” This thesis in financial and business law is very relevant and will be of great interest to the investment sector. It can help interested parties in investment societies find specific solutions to improve the efficiency in investments in the above mentioned securities markets taking into consideration statutory and regulatory protection. Also, this work raises new questions for future research and indicates new possibilities of conducting future investigations. / Vicerrectorado de Investigación y Transferencia de Conocimiento (Escuela de Doctorado) "Convocatoria para la concesión de subvenciones con el objetivo de facilitar la obtención de la mención de Doctor internacional en el título de doctora o doctor, Ayudas Movilidad 2015".

[en] ANALYSIS OF CSR AND ESG INVESTMENT DECISION: A REAL OPTION INSIGHT ON HOW COMPANIES ARE PERCEIVING THE INVESTMENT AND A GUIDANCE ON FUTURE STEPS / [pt] ANÁLISE SOBRE A DECISÃO DE INVESTIMENTO EM RSC E ASG: COMO AS EMPRESAS ESTÃO PERCEBENDO O INVESTIMENTO PELA PERSPECTIVA DE OPÇÕES REAIS E ORIENTAÇÕES PARA O FUTURO

LILIANNE BASTOS DE SA BORGES 24 May 2022 (has links)
[pt] Estudamos as razões para se investir em RSC/ASG. Exploramos as diversas críticas que o conceito recebeu ao longo dos anos; e o recente entusiasmo de CEOs se comprometendo em liderar suas empresas em benefício de todos os stakeholders e de gestores de ativos de incorporar aspectos ambientais, sociais e de governança (ESG) ao seu processo de tomada de decisão de investimento. Para esclarecer o investimento em RSC/ASG e o comportamento das empresas em relação a ele, nos baseamos em artigos bastante recentes de pesquisa empírica sobre RSC/ASG para a escolha de quatro modelos diferentes de opções reais. Utilizando os modelos, realizamos análises de sensibilidade sobre a decisão de se tornar uma empresa socialmente responsável, investir em RSC/ASG para capturar um benefício, bem como sobre a alternativa de abandono e a probabilidade de salto para zero. Nossos resultados sugerem que o investimento em RSC/ASG é valioso, mas não pelas razões comumente apresentadas. O investimento cria uma oportunidade para a empresa limitar suas perdas quando envolvida em um evento prejudicial à sua reputação, ao meio-ambiente ou à sociedade. Para manter a oportunidade viva, a empresa precisa investir continuamente em iniciativas de RSC/ASG, que podem ser mais acessíveis às empresas maiores e mais fortes. Discutimos se essa oportunidade impulsiona um comportamento imprudente ou antiético das empresas e apontamos a contradição entre o possível incentivo à irregularidade e o propósito original do conceito. / [en] We studied the rationales of investing in CSR/ESG. We explored the several critics that the concept received over the years; and the recent rush of CEOs into signing commitments to lead their companies for the benefit of all stakeholders and of asset managers into incorporating environmental, social and governance (ESG) on their investment decision making process. To clarify the CSR/ESG investment choice and the investment behavior of the firms towards it, we drew on very recent empirical research articles on CSR/ESG to choose four different real options models. Using the models, we performed sensitivity analyses on the decision to become a socially responsible firm, to invest in CSR/ESG to capture a goodwill, as well as on the abandonment option and jump to zero probability. Our results suggest that the investment in CSR/ESG is valuable, but not for the reasons commonly presented. The investment creates an opportunity for the firm to limit its losses when involved in a reputational, environmental, or social damaging event. To keep the opportunity alive, the firm has to continuously invest in CSR/ESG initiatives, which may be more accessible to larger and stronger firms. We discuss whether this opportunity propels firms to engage in a reckless or unethical behavior and point out the contradiction between the possible incentive to malpractice and the concept s original purpose.

Decisão de investimento em empresa de pequeno porte de comércio e serviços: uma abordagem probabilística com a teoria das restrições e a teoria das opções reais

Santos Neto, João Batista dos 03 July 2012 (has links)
Made available in DSpace on 2016-04-25T18:39:48Z (GMT). No. of bitstreams: 1 Joao Batista dos Santos Neto.pdf: 5372264 bytes, checksum: 5b73656abd38b37375064ac0954feec8 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2012-07-03 / Many investment projects present as relevant characteristics: the uncertainty to future earnings, the irreversibility of investment and the managerial flexibility, with regard to the freedom with the decision making in the time. Studies show that these characteristics are not treated by the traditional methods of planning and evaluation of investment, and for to supplement the limitations of these methods, an alternative that is gaining prominence is the Real Options Theory, whose application has been studied with a focus on investments that require large amounts of capital, such as mining, oil exploration and power generation. This alternative can also benefit investment projects for micro and small companies, providing that are taken into account their constraints, especially in relation to the amount of capital available. This paper aims to propose a method for planning and evaluation of investment, with the joint application of the Theory of Constraints - TOC - and of the Real Options Theory - TOR - in the process of decision making for investment in small businesses the trade sectors of products and services. The methodology consisted of an exploratory research and development of a Single Case Study, which focused on the application of the proposed method in financial planning before the opening of a business focused on sales of products and services for pets. The case study validated the hypothesis and attested the effectiveness of the proposed method, because beyond of make possible a level of free cash flow near to the traditional methods, the proposed method has made possible: the optimization of production capacity and financial resources available; the identification of the lower risk option, and the maximizing of the return on investment / incerteza quanto aos ganhos futuros, a irreversibilidade do investimento e a flexibilidade gerencial, no que diz respeito à liberdade de decisão no tempo. Estudos demonstram que estas características não são tratadas pelos métodos tradicionais de planejamento e avaliação de investimento, e para suprir as limitações destes métodos, uma alternativa que vem ganhando destaque é a Teoria de Opções Reais, cuja aplicação vem sendo estudada com foco em investimentos que requerem elevados montantes de capital, tais como: mineração, exploração de petróleo e geração de energia. Esta alternativa também pode beneficiar os projetos de investimentos de Micro e Pequenas Empresas, contanto que sejam levadas em consideração as suas restrições, sobretudo, em relação ao montante de capital disponível. Este trabalho tem por objetivo propor um método de planejamento e avaliação de investimento, com a aplicação conjunta da Teoria das Restrições TOC e da Teoria das Opções Reais TOR no processo de tomada de decisão de investimento em empresas de pequeno porte dos setores de comércio e serviços. A metodologia consiste numa pesquisa exploratória e no desenvolvimento de um Estudo de Caso Único, que enfocou a aplicação do método proposto no planejamento financeiro antes da abertura de um empreendimento voltado para a comercialização de produtos e serviços destinados a animais de estimação. O estudo de caso validou as hipóteses e atestou a eficácia do método proposto, pois além de viabilizar um nível de Fluxo de Caixa Livre próximo ao dos métodos tradicionais, o método proposto viabilizou ainda: a otimização do uso da capacidade produtiva e dos recursos financeiros disponíveis; a identificação e a opção de menor risco, e a maximização do retorno sobre o Investimento

Valtrötthet på den svenska fondmarknaden?  : En experimentell studie av svenska bankkunders fondval / Choice overload; an experimental study of Swedish bank customers' fund investment decisions.

Allmänhetens uppfattning är att desto fler valmöjligheter det finns desto bättre är det. Men är det verkligen så i alla olika valsituationer vi ställs inför? (Iyengar &amp; Lepper 2000)     Utifrån tidigare forskning testar vår uppsats om människors valmöjligheter, ett experiment där vi ser hur människor gör sina val på den svenska fondmarknaden. De fick välja mellan ett mindre (limited) urval eller ett större (extensive) urval av fonder.    Utgångspunkten i uppsatsen är två olika forskningsartiklar från Iyengar &amp; Lepper (2000) samt Iyengar &amp; Jiang (2003) där de testar hur människor gör sina val när de får olika stora utbud att  välja bland. I deras forskning kommer de fram till att även om människor tycker att det är roligare att ha många valmöjligheter så blir det oftare val gjorda eller saker köpta om de har  mindre saker att välja bland. Detta fenomen kallas choice overload och innebär alltså att det finns en valtrötthet för människor när de ska göra sina val.    Vårt huvudsyfte med denna uppsats är att testa om fenomenet choice overload kan tillämpas på den svenska fondmarknaden och därmed se om beslutet att själv välja fonder påverkas av fondutbudets storlek. Experimentet skedde genom en enkätundersökning på två stycken bankkontor där slumpvis utvalda kunder fick svara på enkäterna. Vi hade två olika enkäter där  den ena bestod av en fråga där de skulle välja bland ett mindre urval fonder (10st) och den andra bland ett större urval fonder (60st). Varje respondent fick bara en enkät och var därmed helt ovetande om att den andra existerade. Istället för att välja själva kunde de även få låta en  rådgivare välja åt dem, detta för att få ett alternativ till att välja själv. När vi samlat in alla enkäterna (98st) så jämförde vi resultaten mot varandra i statistikprogrammet SPSS.    Delsyftet som kompletterar huvudsyftet i uppsatsen är att vi rensar för demografiska skillnader som t.ex. kön, utbildning och ålder, så att de inte har någon inverkan på beslutet att välja fonder.     Genom experimentet vi gjorde så visade det sig att människor valde fonder själva i större utsträckning när de fick enkäten med det mindre fondutbudet på (limited) än när de fick den enkäten med det större fondutbudet (extensive).
