| For an IT investment, one must estimate the costs required to develop a project at the expiration date of the option, when you might undertake the investment. For an option three years in [sic] future, the analyst has to estimate how much investment would be required. Many parameters influence this cost, including the pace of technological change. In 3 years a package might come along like SAP that dramatically changes the cost of an investment (Lucas 1999: 169).
