This chapter discusses the strategy formulation challenges encountered by firms when the underlying market is uncertain. Motivated by the uncertainty faced by European electric utilities, it discusses how real options analysis can be used to analyze such situations, value strategic options, and optimally chose among them. It also considers discrete-time and continuous-time tools for the pricing of embedded real options.

Keywords:   strategic investment, uncertain market, electric utilities, options analysis
