Reviews

The text does a marvelous job at not only developing the integrated theory, but explaining its relevance in decision- making, making the text more accessible than the underlying research literature. This contribution to the literature - namely reconciling the use of absolute and relative measures of worth in an accessible manner - cannot be understated. (Joseph C. Hartman, The Engineering Economist, June 25, 2020)


The book is well worth a read, as it provides a new perspective on investment decisions and valuation by combining ideas from the fields of business and engineering. (Matthias M. M. Buehlmaier, zbMATH 1471.91008, 2021) The text does a marvelous job at not only developing the integrated theory, but explaining its relevance in decision- making, making the text more accessible than the underlying research literature. This contribution to the literature - namely reconciling the use of absolute and relative measures of worth in an accessible manner - cannot be understated. (Joseph C.
