    Hi John

    Good morning.

    Would you say there are similarities between “Option to Exploit a Follow-On Project ” and “Option to Redploy or Switch”?

    The first would mainly involve the possibility of further expansion using assets developed in the first project (resulting in a call option), while the second is mainly involved when the company can use its productive assets for activities other than the original one (although this could result in a put option and call option).

    I am trying to understand the differences between the two.

    Thank you.

    The first is an option to expand and is a call option.

    The second is an option to redeploy and would mean stopping the initial project earlier than planned, and is a put option.

    I do explain the various option in my free lectures on real options 🙂

    Thank you John

    I only asked the question after having watched your free lecture on Real Options!!!

    I know the first was an option to expand and a call option – I think I said that in my question.

    I am not sure about the second – I read in one of the textbooks that it could result in a put option and a call option. But you are saying otherwise – just a put option….
