This paper, built as (teacher and teaching-related) notes, serves two (completing/matching) targets. On the one hand, it belongs to the first part of a worldwide applied research that should bring new arguments to the repeating results received/got by previous studies, (in other words) the (instance of watching, noticing, or making a statement) that almost always, American corporations, huge companies and large companies have been found to have more fancy (or smart) and advanced approaches to project (process of figuring out the worth, amount, or quality of something) than non-US, small-sized and country-focused (as against international) ones. On the other hand, the authors are worried about the current unexpected difference of (related to school and learning) opinion on the (change for the better, over time) of decision tools for project (process of figuring out the worth, amount, or quality of something). Some educated people believe in an increasing sophistication and others don't. Therefore, such a paper should be thought about/believed as an invitation to keep up with the latest (related to school and learning) explanation (of why something works or happens the way it does) and tools used by organizations to (figure out the worth, amount, or quality of) projects. Material that is taught to our readers today will surely be complemented through the at least 20 years to come, just as it was in the past. An original time-based approach has been chosen in order to bring attention to this last point.
Modern Business, Management, Organizations.
Although it doesn't need to be clearly defined that way, we will think about/believe (related to big business) Finance as Finance applied to corporations. This includes the issues described by Brealey & Myers when they refer to (related to managing money) decisions, (in other words) investment and financing decisions and their interactions. (Related to big business) (Related to managing money) ways of thinking/basic truths/rules are talked to/looked at to (relate to managing money) managers to help them in providing (very close to the truth or true number) answers to the two basic (distractions/things that are always on someone's mind): What investment should the firm make? and How should it pay for these Investments?. Matching these two concerns, their final/very best target becomes to find valuable things which are worth more than their costs. This statement partially describes what Brealey & Myers qualify the secret of success in (related to managing money) management: to increase VALUE. The value of a valuable thing is not only the market one. The (thing that's given/work that's done) of the management of this valuable thing, once it has been (bought), is part of its value. Therefore the (related to managing money) manager must be thought of as the link between the firm's operations and the (related to managing money) market, which concerns both the present and the future.
The material available in the referred to research carries little if any information about the decision process. Charreaux & Jensen both call for more focus on the study of how investment decisions are actually made in practice rather than how they should be made. Behavioural finance is a growing field that draws on knowledge from (the study of how people act towards each other) and (the study of thinking and behavior). It thinks about/believes that decisions are not purely driven by (having to do with measuring things with numbers) data, but are strongly influenced by personal values and (gut feeling or deep-down opinion), (related to what is happening around somebody or something) big picture, and tolerance for risk. However, the coming into view of the field of historical finance has shed even further light on the subject, and out of all the approaches identified, we've chosen this as the (solid basic structure on which bigger things can be built) for our research.
The leitmotiv in recent research on project (process of figuring out the worth, amount, or quality of something) is that this field of (related to managing money) management and (related to big business) finance have been widely explored, if not over-explored in the last twenty years. Anyway, surveys continue to be managed and did/done. In fact, it seems that the magazine questions into companies' practices make up/be equal to the right approach to watch/ notice/ celebrate/ obey the (popular thing/general way things are going) and act if necessary, as for managers, making the effort to adopt more fancy (or smart) tools or for (related to school and learning) to describe in detail their communication in order to better explain what can be won or lost. Offering a (related to what's near the object or word being studied) analysis should add/give to increasing the performance of present and future (professionals or skilled people) in decision-making. A history-based way of seeing things explaining past choices and mistakes can make (professionals or skilled people) aware of the need to constantly update their tools and ways of doing things.
