This last publication puts all the pieces together. The book is really unavoidable for any professional who wants to address risk evaluation following a logical, concrete, and conclusive approach." -Jean Louis Vaysse, Deputy Vice President, Marketing, Airbus (France)"Dr. Mun breaks through the hyperbole and presents a clear, step-by-step approach revealing to readers how quantitative methods and tools can truly make a difference. In short, he teaches you what is relevant and is a 'must know.' I highly recommend this book, especially if you want to effectively incorporate the latest technologies into your decision-making process for your real-world business." -Dr. Paul W.

Gutierrez, Executive Director of Strategic Marketing and Planning, Seagate Technology, Inc."Once again, Dr. Mun has created a 'must-have, must-read' book for anyone interested in the practical application of risk analysis.

It is a book for the new generation of managers, for whom Corporate America is waiting." -Dr. Markus G_tz Junginger, Managing Partner, IBCOL Consulting AG (Switzerland)Mun, Johnathan is the author of 'Modeling Risk Applying Monte Carlo Simulation, Real Options Analysis, Forecasting, And Optimization Techniques', published 2006 under ISBN 9780471789000 and ISBN 0471789003.
