Create Innovative Portfolio Alternatives
Chapter
Abstract
The effectiveness of technology portfolio planning and management depends heavily on the quantity and quality of the alternatives the decision maker will consider. If either too few alternatives are considered or many alternatives are of poor quality, the decision maker will not be able to find the alternative which will provide the optimal value to portfolio planning and management, and valuable resources may be misspent sifting through the many irrelevant or inferior alternatives.
