Property Investment Decision making by Australian unlisted property funds
Property Management, 2016Co-Authors: David ParkerAbstract:Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the property Investment Decision-making process of Australian unlisted property funds. Design/methodology/approach Drawing on previous research into property Investment Decision making by Australian REITs, a normative model of the unlisted property fund Investment Decision-making process is proposed. Based on exploratory investigation through semi-structured interviews with senior Australian unlisted property fund Decision makers, a descriptive model of the property Investment Decision-making process by Australian unlisted property funds is developed. The normative model and descriptive model are compared and a prescriptive model of the Australian unlisted property fund Investment Decision-making process proposed. Findings A four-stage, 20-step process proposed in the normative model was found to be generally supported by the descriptive model developed, potentially comprising a possible prescriptive model for the Australian unlisted property fund Investment Decision-making process. Research limitations/implications Further research is required to investigate risk-return issues, whether the prescriptive model is generalisable across other property Investment Decision-making groups or over time and whether it may lead to “good” Decisions. Practical implications The prescriptive model proposed may contribute consistency and transparency to the Decision-making process, if adopted by Australian unlisted property funds, potentially leading to better Decisions. Social implications Greater consistency and transparency in property Investment Decision making by Australian unlisted property funds may lead to the optimal allocation of capital and greater investor confidence in the sector. Originality/value The findings comprise the first possible prescriptive model of the Australian unlisted property fund Investment Decision-making process, forming a basis for comparative investigation of that process adopted by other property Investment Decision-making groups such as Australian REITs and Australian retail property funds.

Property Investment Decision making by Australian REITs
Journal of Property Investment & Finance, 2014Co-Authors: David ParkerAbstract:Purpose - – The purpose of this paper is to investigate property Investment Decision making by Australian REITs. Design/methodology/approach - – Through an extensive literature review, a normative model of the property Investment Decision-making process is proposed. Based on semi-structured interviews with senior Australian REIT Decision makers, a descriptive model of the property Investment Decision-making process by Australian REITs is developed. The normative model and descriptive model are compared and a prescriptive model of the Australian REIT property Investment Decision-making process proposed. Findings - – With the four stage, 20-step process proposed in the normative model found to be generally supported by the descriptive model developed, this may potentially comprise an effective prescriptive model for the Australian REIT property Investment Decision-making process. Research limitations/implications - – Further research is required to investigate if the prescriptive model is generalisable across other property Investment Decision-making groups or over time and whether it may lead to “good” Decisions. Practical implications - – The prescriptive model proposed may contribute consistency and transparency to the Decision-making process, if adopted by Australian REITs, potentially leading to better Decisions. Social implications - – Greater consistency and transparency in property Investment Decision making by Australian REITs may lead to the optimal allocation of capital and greater investor confidence in the sector. Originality/value - – The findings comprise the first prescriptive model of the Australian REIT property Investment Decision-making process, forming a basis for comparative investigation of that process adopted by other property Investment Decision-making groups.

Making the information technology Investment Decision: a principled approach
Twenty-Third Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 1990Co-Authors: E.k. Clemons, B.w. WeberAbstract:Seven principles on which to base an evaluation of strategic information technology (IT) ventures are presented. The principles range from making the Investment Decision, through managing risk, to preparing for unanticipated upside and downside implications. The principles are based on empirical studies, and on theoretical work on the timing of Investments and the valuation of options benefits inherent in many IT initiatives. The role of a company's unique resources in generating competitive advantage, and the role of strategic necessity in guiding IT Investment Decisions are also considered.

Environmental Scanning and Investment Decision Quality
2010Co-Authors: Nik Maheran Nik MuhammadAbstract:Purpose – Previous studies on scanning behavior have focused mainly on Decisions relating to the choice of corporate strategies, leaving strategic Investment Decisions largely understudied. This paper aims to bridge the gap not just by examining strategic Investment Decisions but also by investigating the role of information processing capacity in enhancing the relationship between the extent of scanning behavior and the quality of the Investment Decision.Design/methodology/approach – Cross‐sectional data are collected through a survey and analyzed by means of factor analysis and hierarchical regression analysis.Findings – Quality of Decision is positively and significantly related to the extent of economic and competition information and the formality of method used to scan competition information. However, the extent of scanning for technology is contingent upon information processing capacity in order to affect the quality of the Investment Decision. Similarly, the method of scanning for economy, techn...

Capital Investment Decision: Impact from Environmental Scanning
2009Co-Authors: Nik Maheran Nik Muhammad, Kampus Kota Bharu, Muhamad JantanAbstract:Current thinking in corporate long-range planning tends to emphasize the need for, and value of environmental information. Many scholars proposed that environmental information is crucial to modern corporate planning and for firms to remain competitive, particularly when making capital Investment Decision. Such information is generated outside the firm’s official jurisdiction. Unfortunately, little is known of the extent of environmental scanning done by Decision makers when making capital Investment Decision. This paper reports on a study undertaken to determine the extent of environmental scanning in relations to the quality of Investment Decision made. This study examines the relationship between environmental scanning behavior and the quality of Investment Decisions made by managers. Result from 118 questionnaires by higher-level managers in Malaysia show that in making capital Investment Decision, most of the environmental scanning was related to competitor information, technology information and economic information. Out of this information, information made related to competitors and economics leads to high quality Decision.

Investment Decision making by using fuzzy candlestick pattern and genetic algorithm
2011 IEEE International Conference on Fuzzy Systems (FUZZ-IEEE 2011), 2011Co-Authors: Yi-ching LiawAbstract:This paper proposed an approach to extract fuzzy candlestick patterns from financial time series and select a set of patterns for Investment Decision making. The candlestick chart in stock market is a widely used technical analysis model. The investor observes the candlestick chart and makes Investment Decisions by identifying patterns in the chart. We use fuzzy linguistic variables to model candlestick chart and extract patterns from the chart. A Genetic algorithm based approach is used to select a set of extracted pattern as the background knowledge in the system for Investment Decision making. The advantage of the proposed approach is the Investment knowledge is comprehensible, editable, and visible. The user can set different range of historical financial time series to extract and select different set of patterns. The experimental results shows that the Investment Decisions based on selected fuzzy patterns have better Investment performance than using original non-fuzzy patterns.
