摘要：One of the primary responsibilities of ma nagement is the allocation of available re sources in organisations. Unfortunately, there are never enough available resources to perform all the tasks and projects desired. There fore, management has to decide which projects will be pursued. To evaluate competing projects, the majority of organisations use some form of quantitative analysis technique. Among the common tech niques used are net present value, internal rate of return and payback period. A frequent charge in recent years has been that many firms fall behind in global markets because they are too slow in implementing the new manu facturing technologies such as AMT (advanced manufacturing technology), CIM (computer inte grated manufacturing), FMS (flexible manufactur ing systems), or CAD (computer added design). A popular argument is that conventional methods of capital investment analysis do not capture the full impact of the technology change decisions (Slagmulder et al., 1995, p. 122).
