Managers are not willing to make decisions based on techniques they do not fully understand. 2. Discounted cash flow is a proven method. The heavily favored methods in the literature are discounted cash flow techniques (NPV and IRR). 3. Real options require a high degree of sophistication. Real options tend to be used in industries where upper management tends to have engineering or technology backgrounds. 4. Real options tend to encourage excessive risk-taking. While NPV may underestimate project value, CFOs tend to believe that real options
