The methodology is proposed to value a project based on real options model firstly. Then the BOPM is used to value a project and the empirical results are compared with the results which are based on NPV approach. The results favor the application of the real option theory and show that the option value have important role on investment decision. The results show that the real option approach is more rational than the traditional NPV approach in valuing project because the uncertainty is considered in real option approach. The uncertainty with respect to project return has a substantial effect on investment decision, which is only explained by the option theory.

This paper uses the real options approach to conduct research on the coal resources development investment decision by literature studies, the combination of theoretical research and practical research. It has carried on the systematic overall retrospect to the domestic and international research results about real option. It introduces and analyzes the real option theory on the basis of analyzing and appraising to the traditional investment methods systematically in detail. This paper has studied the value of the investment project again with the real option theory. It sums up the application area, step and analyzing frame of real option theory, and analyzes the insufficiency of the traditional investment decision on the basis of comparing with traditional coal resource investment decision, and proposes some improvement suggestions.

The main scope of this paper is to perform a real options analysis that is often recommended as an emerging valuation technique for high-risk investment projects. The pharmaceutical sector is a sector where the real option can be positively applied to incorporate the flexibility and the risks of the new product development. In this paper the real option theory is applied to a pharmaceutical company that is developing a particular new product. Due to the uncertain nature of the new product development, it can be strategic to evaluate the real option benefits for the investment under analysis.

Compared with that of traditional housing real estate, the development of tourism real estate is time-consuming, complex, and irreversible. It is hard to guide investment decision-making on tourism real estate with the conventional discount cash flow (DCF) method. This paper aims to demonstrate that the real option method can improve and optimize the investment decision-making on tourism real estate. Through case analysis, the real option model, i.e., the classic American real option model, and binary tree value distribution model were adopted to analyze the factors affecting the real option of tourism real estate, optimize the development sequence of tourism real estate project, and demonstrate the phased development value of tourism real state, thereby enhancing the development value of tourism real estate projects. The case analysis proves that tourism real estate investment is fully consistent with real option in the uncertain spatiotemporal attributes: uncertainty, irreversibility, and timeliness. Therefore, tourism real estate project carries obvious features of real option. The decision-making by the real option model is much more scientific and superior than that by the conventional DCF method. Since the application of real option theory has been emphasizing housing real estate over tourism real estate, the research results enrich the theory on real option-based investment decision-making for real estate and expand the application scope of real option.
