Linking strategy with the numbers
It's a book about strategy. The author shows how to establish a value-creating business portfolio stategy, stressing the importance of developing different strategic alternatives, including possible aquisitions, and assesing the risk involved. The book is an excellent choice for those facing the definition of an optimal non-financial portfolio.

Missing the point
The book was written probably some 15 years ago, when Real Options barely existed and the only tools available to consultants were efficient frontier and NPV. The treatment of risk vs. return is very simplistic, NPV concept does not hold any more (ROV is a way to go). In summary: an outdated book.

Excellent Job!
Michael Allen has portrayed the real meaning of portfolio management in a manner that is readily accessible to business executives. His concept of "full value" is a challenging one for anyone charged with creating value where portfolios of products, business units, R&D projects, and so on, are involved. Similar Products
