Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis investigates investment theory in the light of complexity theory. These insights from diverse fields contain powerful images, metaphors and ways of thinking that allows one to seek new ways of comprehending the nature of the economy and therefore the nature of investment and the related issues of uncertainty and decision making. Complexity theory views the economy as being a dynamic, continuously adaptive, nonlinear system. This is in contrast to traditional or classical economic theory that views the economy as being a simple, linear, equilibrium deterministic system. This thesis is a conceptual study exploring the implications of a complexity worldview for investment decisions by looking at the nature and characteristics of complexity and then overlaying it on the characteristics of the economy. It is argued that complexity is caused by three elements: the structure of the system, human behaviour and exogenous factors. Thereafter follows an analysis of how investment decisions are made in the light of complexity by illustrating the investment models of two very successful, yet different investors: Warren Buffet and George Soros. Buffet’s model hinges on value. He realises that emergent phenomenon driven by irrational behaviour of investors leads to intrinsic values of shares to differ widely from perceived value. When quoted or perceived values are low than it is advisable to purchase as you have a margin of safety. Over the long term the market recognises the real value of the share. He tries to ignore the vagaries of the market and to focus on fundamentals. His list of fundamentals include; the franchise value of the company, quality of management and industry dynamics. George Soros in contrast utilises emergence patterns to locate potential investments. His model is that systems are flawed, human thinking and decision making is flawed and the interaction of the two lead to perturbations and oscillations. He focuses in trying to understand the flaw in systems and in human behaviour and to find some kind of pattern that he could utilise to make a profit. It is shown that both investment models can be understood from a complexity perspective and that these two investors built aspects from complexity into their decision models.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die tesis ondersoek investeringsteorie in die lig van kompleksiteitsteorie. Met die hulp van metafore en insigte vanuit kompleksiteitsdenke word gesoek na nuwe maniere om die aard van die mark en investering verwante aspekte van onsekerheid en besluitneming te verstaan. Die kompleksiteitsperspektief sien die ekonomie as’n dinamiese en aanpassende nie-lineêre sisteem. Dit word gedoen deur die implikasies wat kompleksiteit vir investeringsbesluite inhou konseptueel te ondersoek. Die aard en eienskappe van komplekse sisteme word verduidelik en dan op die ekonomie toegepas. Daar word geargumenteer dat kompleksiteit deur drie elemente veroorsaak word: die struktuur van die sisteem, menslike gedrag en eksogene faktore. Daarna word die praktyk van investeringsbesluite geanaliseer in terme van kompleksiteit duer investeringsmodelle van twee suksesvolle, maar uiteenlopende, investeerders te ondersoek, naamlik Warren Buffet en George Soros. Buffet se model draai rondom waarde. Hy sien die irrasionele gedrag van investeerders as ‘n ontvouende fenomeen wat lei tot ‘n gaping tussen intrinsieke en verwagte waarde. Sy investering word gebaseer op die aanname dat oor die langer termyn die mark die intrinsieke waarde herken. Hy ignoreer dus korttermyn skommelinge in die verwagte waarde en fokus op die fundamentele, waaronder die maanwaarde van die besigheid, die kwaliteit van die bestuur, en industrie-dinamika tel. Soros se model daarenteen gebruik ontvouende patrone en potensiële investeringsgeleenthede te ontbloot. Sy model is dat sisteme inherente teenstrydighede het as ook menslike gedrag en besluitneming. Dit lei tot ossilasies en versteurings. Sy fokus is gerig daarop om hierdie versteurings in die sisteem tot voordeel aan te wend. Daar word getoon hoedat beide investeringsmodelle vanuit ‘n kompleksiteitsperspektief verstaan kan word en dat die twee investeerders sulke aspekte in hulle investeringsbesluite inbou.

Повний текст джерелаO principal objetivo da tese foi examinar a relação do conhecimento financeiro com as decisões financeiras pessoais. Para atingir este objetivo foram elaborados três ensaios, sendo o primeiro um exame da relação entre o conhecimento financeiro e a tolerância ao risco. O segundo ensaio verificou a relação do conhecimento financeiro com as decisões de endividamento, enquanto o terceiro investigou como as decisões de investimento são afetadas por esse conhecimento. Foram propostas medidas para avaliar os níveis de conhecimento financeiro básico, de crédito e de investimento, adaptadas a partir da revisão da literatura para o contexto de produtos financeiros brasileiros. Com base nos resultados da pesquisa, realizada com 467 jovens universitários, foram propostos os índices de conhecimento financeiro básico, de crédito e de investimento, usados para verificar a relação do conhecimento financeiro com a tolerância ao risco e com as decisões de endividamento e investimento. Foram estabelecidos modelos econométricos para testar as hipóteses de pesquisa. O grupo estudado apresentou bom nível de conhecimento financeiro, sendo a maior dificuldade relacionada ao conceito dos juros compostos. A compreensão das questões relativas a inflação e ilusão monetária apresentaram bons resultados, o que pode ser atribuído à experiência inflacionária vivida no país. Os resultados mostraram que existe relação entre o conhecimento financeiro e a tolerância ao risco, sugerindo que pessoas com maior conhecimento financeiro seriam mais propensas a escolher produtos financeiros de maior risco. Nos demais ensaios observou-se também relação entre conhecimento financeiro e as decisões financeiras. No que se refere ao uso do crédito, foram encontradas evidências de que pessoas com maiores níveis de conhecimento financeiro de crédito tendem a fazer uso de produtos de crédito menos onerosos. Por outro lado, na avaliação dos investimentos, o estudo revelou que os indivíduos que possuem menor grau de menor conhecimento financeiro são aqueles que não fazem investimentos.Utilizando a técnica de análise de cluster promoveu-se o agrupamento dos sujeitos em categorias de endividamento e de investimento, que em seguida foram analisadas em conjunto com as características sociodemográficas de cada grupo. Nesta análise verificou-se que os mais jovens praticamente não fazem uso de operações de crédito e usam basicamente o cartão de crédito. Estes são também os que fazem menos investimentos.Os resultados deste estudo exploratório trazem importantes contribuições para agenda de programas de educação financeira, identificando grupos mais expostos às operações de crédito mais onerosas, bem como grupos menos preparados para as incertezas financeiras do futuro. As evidências obtidas poderão ser aplicadas em políticas públicas voltadas para melhoria nos padrões de conhecimento financeiroe para melhor utilização dos produtos e serviços financeiros.
The main purpose of the thesis was to assess the relation between financial knowledge and personal financial decisions. So as to achieve such goal, three essays were carried out: the first one addressed the relation between financial knowledge and risk tolerance, while the second analyzed the relation between financial knowledge and debt decisions and the third focused on investment decisions.In order to evaluate the financial knowledge, we proposed some measurements of knowledge on basic financial concepts, on credit and investments, which were extracted from a literature review and adapted to the context of Brazilian financial products. According to the results from a research conducted with 467 young university students, some rates of knowledge on basic financial concepts, on credit and investments were suggested, so as to verify the relation between financial knowledge, risk tolerance and both debt and investment decisions. Some econometric models were set forth to test the hypothesis of such research. The studied group presented a good level of financial knowledge, and the most significant difficulty faced by these individuals was related to compound interests. In answer to questions about inflation and monetary illusion, they showed good results, which may be attributed to the recent inflationary experience lived within the country.The results showed a relation between financial knowledge and risk tolerance, thus suggesting that individuals with higher financial knowledge would be more inclined to opt for higher-risk financial products. The other essays also disclosed a relation between financial knowledge and financial decisions. As refers to the use of credits, some evidences indicate that individuals with higher financial knowledge on credit tend to make use of less onerous credit products. Besides, in relation to investments, we found that individuals with low financial knowledge are those who less likely to invest in financial products.By using the cluster analysis method, we grouped the studied individuals within categories relating to indebtedness and investment, which were subsequently assessed in the light of social and demographic characteristics of each group. Upon such analysis, we verified that the youngest individuals practically refrain from making use of credit operations, and basically use credit cards. They are also the ones who make less investment.The results from such exploratory study bring material contributions to the agenda of financial education programs, as they identified groups which are more exposed to high-cost borrowing, as well as groups which are less prepared to future financial uncertainties. The evidences hereby disclosed may be applied to public policies aimed at the improvement of financial knowledge standards, as well as at a better use of financial products and services.

Intangible investments are essential for the society's productivity and companies competitiveness. The development of intangible investments indicates that the importance of intangible investment decisions has increased. Despite this, the subject area is not noticed by the current research or literature to a greater extent. Purpose: The purpose of this study is that it will contribute to a deeper understanding of intangible investments by generating knowledge in an area that has not previously been recognized to a greater extent. The paper intends to provide information in relation to the intangible decision-making process and regarding factors that are considered to have an impact on the intangible investment decision. Method: The thesis is based on a qualitative multi-case design in which four companies have constituted to the empirical basis. Furthermore, the interviews were conducted on a semi-structured approach to obtaining information.Conclusion: The decision-making process of the intangible investments is initiated through an identification of problems and goals, if the company has experienced a first dilemma. Then there are different investment options that are evaluated based on essential factors. Finally, the intangible investment decision is made by higher units in the organization. Key factors in the intangible investment decision are profitability, new technology, growth and risk assessment. Keywords: Intangible investments, investment decisions, decision basis, intangible decision process

Повний текст джерелаSince the construction and real estate sector accounts for a significant part of Sweden’s environmental impact, actors in the industry have great opportunities to influence buildings’ climate footprint through environmental investments. The basic idea is that investments are made if they are profitable, but since the purpose of environmental investments also is to achieve positive environmental effects, more than only the economic aspect matters. The goal of private companies is to make profit and since 2011 the municipal housing companies in Sweden must act according to business principles as well in order to maintain competition in the market. Business and social responsibility must therefore be combined. The purpose of the study is to gain an understanding of what environmental investments in buildings are and to analyse what influences a housing company’s environmental investment decision. The main issue focuses on how the environmental investment decision is affected by the company being private or municipal. Furthermore, the study investigates how environmental investments differ from other investments in buildings in terms of the decision process and also what could have led to more environmental investments being implemented. The study is based on semi structured interviews with ten respondents from seven housing companies in the Stockholm area. The study has shown that the concept of environmental investments in buildings is not yet fully defined but mainly is about measures related to energy efficiency. Environmental investments follow the same process as other investments and the same calculation methods are used, but more perspectives are considered when it comes to the decision making. Decisive factors for the environmental investment decision can according to this study be divided into the categories; profitability and savings, the corporate governance, requirements and goals, tenants and the construction of the buildings. A housing company’s environmental investment decision is affected by the company being private or municipal through the company’s governance and purpose. This affects the view of the decisive factors, mainly to what extent profitability requirements do not need to be met and the tenants’ influence on the decision. The view of environmental requirements and reduced environmental impact is not affected by the company being private or municipal.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is an investment performance review covering the ten years from 1990 to 1999. To many investors the 1990s were a tough decade because of the political, economic and social changes, which caused investment uncertainty. The primary focus is to examine the implications of these changes during the 1990s on the investment strategies of South Africans. Furthermore, the aim is to provide insight into investment decision-making during the period of transition and transformation. The analyses specifically address the importance of the investment environment on portfolio construction and maintenance. The objective is to see how far the investors ventured in their efforts to 'beat" the South African share market under changing conditions. The structure of the portfolio was evaluated as well as the investor's preferences and beliefs during the period under review. It also looked at the investors' attitudes and philosophies. Effective portfolio management was important because changing conditions were becoming challenging. The investor's investment mix and the risk associated with each investment determined the effectiveness of managing the portfolio. Furthermore, this study examines the investors' objectives, constraints and strategies. In the final analysis, this study examines investment strategy and investment performance in retrospect. It presents a ten-year historical analysis of the South African environment which was affecting investment decisions. It was also found that investors were fulfilling their expectations, they were looking at medium and long-term investment opportunities. Furthermore, stock-picking was done with greater caution. The opening of global investment markets further enhanced the investment opportunities. Moreover the investors realised the importance of diversification in order to reduce risk. The investors will be presented with challenges and opportunities in the next decade (or century). Therefore this study also concludes with an assessment of possible future investment scenarios for the South African investors. Finally, investment decision was interpreted against the political, economical, social and other changes that took place during the period of transition. The key to investment success was the investor's ability to manage the changing South African environment.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is 'n oorsig van die beleggingsvaardighede gedurende die tydperk 1990 tot 1999. Vir baie beleggers was die negentigs 'n baie moeilike dekade as gevolg van die politieke, ekonomiese en sosiale veranderings. Hierdie veranderings het onsekerheid laat ontstaan by die beleggers. Die primêre fokus is om die implikasies van die veranderings op die beleggingsstrategieë van die Suid Afrikaanse belegger te ondersoek. Verder, is die doelook om insig te bekom oor die beleggingsbesluitneming gedurende die periode van verandering en transformasie. Hierdie analise salook in besonder aandag gee aan die belangrikheid van die gepaardgaande beleggingsomgewing en op die konstruksie en instandhouding van die beleggingsportefeulje. Die doel is om ook vas te stel hoe die beleggers gespekuleer het om die Suid Afrikaanse aandele mark te klop gedurende die periode van verandering. Die samestelling van die portefeulje is ge-evalueer sowel as die beleggers se voorkeure en menings. Daar is ook ondersoek ingestel na die belegger se houding en filosofie. Effektiewe beleggingsbestuur was belangrik gedurende die tydperk omdat die veranderde omstandighede uitdagend geword het. Die belegger se beleggingssamestelling en die gepaardgaande risiko het die doeltreffendheid van die bestuur van die portefeulje bepaal. Verder ondersoek hierdie studie ook die beleggers se doelwitte, beperkinge en strategieë. In die finale analise is dit hoofsaaklik 'n retrospektiewe ontleding van beleggingbestuursvaardighede gedurende die 1990s. Dit is n tienjaar historiese analise van die Suid Afrikaanse beleggingsomgewing wat 'n invloed gehad het op die beleggingsbesluitnemings. Die beleggers het hul verwagtings goed hanteer en het gesoek na medium- en langtermyn beleggingsmoontlikhede. Bowendien is die beleggings gedoen met groter omsigtigheid. Die opening van die wêreld markte het ook groter beleggingsmoontlikhede geskep. Verder het die beleggers ook besef dat diversifikasie belangrik is om risiko te verminder. Beleggers sal te staan kom voor uitdagings sovel as gunstige beleggingsmoontlikhede in die volgende dekade (of eeu). Daarom sluit hierdie studie af met toekomstige beleggingsmoontlikhede en die faktore wat sal bydra tot die toekomstige beleggingsaksie en besluitneming. Ten slotte, die beleggingsbesluit is geïnterpreteer teen die politieke, ekonomiese en sosiale veranderinge wat plaasgevind het. Die sleutel tot die beleggingssukses was die vermoë van die beleggers om die veranderde omstandighede te kan hanteer.

Повний текст джерелаENGLISH ABSTRACT: Venture capital is a major source of funding for the entrepreneurial community and usually focuses on the early stage, more risk orientated business endeavours. This study explores and identifies the investment criteria used by South African venture capitalists in their venture screening and evaluation process and compares these criteria with the results obtained in similar studies abroad. By identifying the criteria that are deemed as important, venture capitalists can enhance their decision-making process and entrepreneurs can adjust their preparation for venture capital application to maximise their success rate. By alerting entrepreneurs of these criteria, some potentially flawed proposals can be corrected beforehand, hence enhancing the venture capital process for both the venture capitalist and the entrepreneur. By making use of a questionnaire, data was gathered from a population of 16 identified South African venture capitalists, of which 75% replied. The most important criteria was identified by evaluating the mean ratings assigned to them and was found to be, the entrepreneurs honesty and integrity, a good expected market acceptance and a high IRR. The data was further analysed using the Friedman two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) by ranks test, the Sign test and factor analysis. It was found that the South African venture capitalists, just like their overseas counterparts, rate the entrepreneur and management team, as the most important category of criteria when evaluating new projects for investment. In addition, two lists of factors were identified by using factor analysis to reduce the criteria obtained from the questionnaire.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Waagkapitaal is een van die belangrikste bronne van befondsing waarvan entrepreneurs gebruik kan maak. Dit fokus hoofsaaklik op besighede in 'n vroeë besigheid lewensiklus, waar hoër risiko aan die orde van die dag is. Hierdie studie identifiseer en analiseer die beleggings maatstawwe wat gebruik word vir waagkapitaal belegging besluitneming in Suid-Afrika en vergelyk die resultate met soortgelyke studies wat reeds in die buiteland uitgevoer is. Die besluitnemingsproses vir die waagkapitalis kan ook vergemaklik word deur die identifisering van die mees belangrikste maatstawwe en terselfdertyd kan entrepreneurs dit ook gebruik vir beter voorbereiding in hul aansoek om waagkapitaal. Deur entrepreneurs se aandag op die belangrike faktore te vestig kan potensiële swak voorleggings vroegtydig gekorrigeer word, wat 'n positiewe bydrae sal lewer tot die beleggingsproses vir beide die waagkapitalis en die entrepreneur. Daar is gebruik gemaak van 'n vraelys wat gestuur is aan 16 Suid-Afrikaanse waagkapitaal beleggers, 75% het die vraelys voltooi. Deur vergelyking van die gemiddelde waardes is vasgestel dat die belangrikste maatstawwe die entrepreneur se eerlikheid en integriteit, goeie verwagte aanvaarding en aanvraag na die produk en 'n hoë “IRR” is, daarna is die data geanaliseer deur middel van die “Friedman two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) by ranks test”, die ”Sign test” en “factor analysis”. Daar is bevind dat die Suid-Afrikaanse waagkapitalis net soos sy oorsese eweknie, die entrepreneur en bestuurspan as die mees belangrikste afdeling van maatstawwe ag wanneer gekyk word na nuwe projekte vir beleggings. Daar is ook twee addisionele lyste van belangrike maatstawwe opgestel deur die aantal faktore te verminder deur faktor analise.
Petitet, Marie. "Long-term dynamics of investment decisions in electricity markets with variable renewables development and adequacy objectives." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016PSLED032/document.
Повний текст джерелаIn liberalised electricity systems, power markets are expected to ensure the long-term coordination of investments in order to guarantee security of supply, sustainability and competitiveness. In the reference energy-only market, it relies on the ability of power markets — where the hourly price is aligned with the marginal cost of the system — to provide an adequate price-signal for investors. However, in practice, questions have been raised about its ability to trigger investments in low-carbon technologies including in particular Renewable Energy Sources of Electricity (RES-E), and its ability to ensure capacity adequacy. After a characterisation of these market failures, this dissertation tackles the two research topics within a methodological framework based on a System Dynamics model developed to simulate private investment decisions in power markets.First, the results show that substituting out-of-market support mechanisms for RES-E by market-based investments helped by the sole implementation of a carbon price appears as a feasible solution to trigger RES-E development providing that there is a political commitment on a high carbon price. Second, it also appears that the energy-only market with price cap is ineffective to ensure capacity adequacy. Adding a capacity market or removing the price cap both bring benefits in terms of loss of load expectation and social welfare. Moreover, the capacity market is identified as the best option for regulators among the considered market designs

Teoretiskt sätt så kan detta problem lösas med real optionsanalys. Historiskt sett har real optionsanalys inte använts särskilt utbrett i den kommersiella fastighetsbranschen. Resultatet indikerar på att användningen av real optionsanalys på den svenska kommersiella fastighetsmarknaden är fortsatt låg. Traditionella investeringsmetoder kombinerat med tumregler som bestämmer graden av flexibilitet verkar dominera. Resultatet belyser några av dessa tumregler. De kommersiella fastighetsaktörerna resonerar kring flexibilitet och osäkerhet på ett sätt som är i linje med real optionsteori. Vidare forskning behövs för att bedöma hur väl tumregel-förfarandet i förhållande till real optionsanalys fungerar när man ska bestämma graden av flexibilitet.

Повний текст джерелаPurpose: The purpose of this paper was to examine investment decisions in the design industry to provide greater comprehension on investment decisions in the design agencies and to notice design agencies that investments were a competititiveness. Theoretical framework:The paper examined different types of investments, Porter’s five forces, risk, uncertainty and profitability. The paper also applied seven previous researches on these areas and also researches in SME, investment decisions and how feelings affected investment decisions. Methodology: A deductive research approach has been used in this paper. The study was conducted by a qualitative research method which included interviews with ten design agencies. The requirements for the design agencies included different work areas in Stockholm inner city and the design agency had to have at least four employees. Another requirement was that they had to have wellknown customers. There were face-to-face interviews, interviews by e-mail and telephone. The study was made by a comparative method to make comparisions between design agencies to find similarities, differences and connections between investments which design agencies made and eventually the decision making. Results: The results of the study demonstrated that investment in employees and competence was the greatest investment according to eight of ten design agencies. Six of the design agencies invested in premises and offices and four of ten made investments in expansion. Three of ten design agencies used calculations or return on investment while making investment decisions. It was found that six of ten design agencies included feelings in making investment decisions. Eight of ten considered that an investment was profitable when revenue exceeded the cost of the investment. Seven of the design agencies considered investments as a risk but mainly as an opportunity. Conclusion: Design agencies in Stockholm invested mainly in employees and even in offices, business trips, expansion and computers to generate value which also lead to a successful investment. Strategic planning mainly consisted of budgeting as well as a few design agencies performed calculus. Economic and emotional values were a decisive factor in investment decisions. An investment was considered as profitable when revenue exceeded the cost. Design agencies primarly considered investments as opportunities but they needed to be in balance with the risks. The design agencies’ view of investments compared to the financial theory did not differ very much but how the decisions were made differed significantly.

Повний текст джерелаComplexity of the capital intensive oil and gas portfolio investments is continuously growing. It is manifested in the constant increase in the type, number and degree of risks and uncertainties, which consequently lead to more challenging decision making problems. A typical complex decision making problem in petroleum exploration and production (E&P) is the selection and prioritization of oilfields/projects in a portfolio investment. Prioritizing oilfields maybe required for different purposes, including the achievement of a targeted production and allocation of limited available development resources. These resources cannot be distributed evenly nor can they be allocated based on the oilfield size or production capacity alone since various other factors need to be considered simultaneously. These factors may include subsurface complexity, size of reservoir, plateau production and needed infrastructure in addition to other issues of strategic concern, such as socio-economic, environmental and fiscal policies, particularly when the decision making involves governments or national oil companies. Therefore, it would be imperative to employ decision aiding tools that not only address these factors, but also incorporate the decision makers’ preferences clearly and accurately. However, the tools commonly used in project portfolio selection and optimization, including intuitive approaches, vary in their focus and strength in addressing the different criteria involved in such decision problems. They are also disadvantaged by a number of drawbacks, which may include lacking the capacity to address multiple and interrelated criteria, uncertainty and risk, project relationship with regard to value contribution and optimum resource utilization, non-monetary attributes, decision maker’s knowledge and expertise, in addition to varying levels of ease of use and other practical and theoretical drawbacks. These drawbacks have motivated researchers to investigate other tools and techniques that can provide more flexibility and inclusiveness in the decision making process, such as Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods. However, it can be observed that the MCDM literature: 1) is primarily focused on suggesting certain MCDM techniques to specific problems without providing sufficient evidence for their selection, 2) is inadequate in addressing MCDM in E&P portfolio selection and prioritization compared with other fields, and 3) does not address prioritizing brownfields (i.e., developed oilfields). This research study aims at addressing the above drawbacks through combining three MCDM methods (i.e., AHP, PROMETHEE and TOPSIS) into a single decision making tool that can support optimal oilfield portfolio investment decisions by helping determine the share of each oilfield of the total development resources allocated. Selecting these methods is reinforced by a pre-deployment and post-deployment validation framework. In addition, this study proposes a two-dimensional consistency test to verify the output coherence or prioritization stability of the MCDM methods in comparison with an intuitive approach. Nine scenarios representing all possible outcomes of the internal and external consistency tests are further proposed to reach a conclusion. The methodology is applied to a case study of six major oilfields in Iraq to generate percentage shares of each oilfield of a total production target that is in line with Iraq’s aspiration to increase oil production. However, the methodology is intended to be applicable to other E&P portfolio investment prioritization scenarios by taking the specific contextual characteristics into consideration.

Повний текст джерелаStudiens syfte var att undersöka sambandet mellan aktiemarknadens fluktuationer och företag i IT-branschens val av kapitalstruktur. Även att söka en djupare förståelse genom att ta del av Chief Financial Officers (CFO) och Chief Executive Officers (CEO) perspektiv på skuldsättningsgrad, soliditet, aktiemarknadens rörelser vid kapitalplacering samt vad som påverkar ett företags värde. Detta har skett med Market timing hypotesen som teoretisk utgångspunkt. Den huvudsakliga undersökningsmetoden har bestått av en kvantitativ dataanalys i form av multipel regressionsanalys. Kvalitativa intervjuer har därefter utförts i syfte att komplettera datan och för att förtydliga hur dessa aspekter hanteras i den praktiska verkligheten. Resultaten från studien indikerar att finansieringsbeslut är högst situationsbetingade men att marknadsvärdet har en viss påverkan. Utöver detta visade sig lönsamhet och andel anläggningstillgångar i förhållande till totala tillgångar väga tungt. De respondenter som intervjuades menade även att mängden eget kapital och skuld ett företaget besitter påverkar dess värde.
