    Limited-recourse and non-recourse lending has been a popular way to finance high-risk ventures since ancient times. It was used to finance everything from commercial sea voyages in ancient Greece and Rome to the construction of the Panama Canal and the development of the early oil and gas industries in the early twentieth century. But it wasn't until the 1970s and 80s, with the development of the North Sea oil fields, that it became a common substitute for government bond issuances and traditional corporate finance structures. Despite the long history of project finance, until now the literature on the subject has treated it, almost exclusively, as a stand-alone function rather than an integral part of new business development with strategic value for gaining and maintaining competitive advantage. The first book to address project finance from a much broader business development perspective, Project Finance for Business Development fills a gap in the literature on the subject by offering project sponsors and developers practical insights and guidance on how to more efficiently and effectively structure and implement projects by creating competitive advantage through project finance. John E. Triantis draws upon his more than forty years of experience to show how various elements of project finance, such as opportunity screening and evaluation, project development, risk management, and due diligence can be combined when structuring viable financeable projects. He dispels common misconceptions about what is really important for successful project financings, and he: Explains how to develop, structure, and implement projects successfully by creating competitive advantage in an increasingly globalized business environment Offers a roadmap for successful financing, participant roles and responsibilities, and assessing and testing project viability Provides a strategic decision-forecasting and financial modeling perspective on project finance Delves deeper than all other existing treatments of project finance into specific decisions needed to create and implement effective financing plans Uses numerous examples of project failures to illustrate common pitfalls to be avoided when structuring a project finance deal Helping readers develop, structure, and implement projects successfully by creating competitive advantage, this book is an indispensable tool for project sponsors and developers and important reading for all those with a stake in project finance, including CFOs, treasurers, comptrollers, corporate and strategic planning groups, and business development groups. Lessons learned from project failures and insights on project development, assessment, due diligence, and financing structuring processes will help government employees to structure financeable and viable infrastructure projects and get value for tax payer money spent.

    Go beyond technique to master the difficult judgement calls of forecastingA variety of software can be used effectively to achieve accurate forecasting, but no software can replace the essential human component. You may be new to forecasting, or you may have mastered the statistical theory behind the software's predictions, and even more advanced "power user" techniques for the software itself--but your forecasts will never reach peak accuracy unless you master the complex judgement calls that the software cannot make. Profit From Your Forecasting Software addresses the issues that arise regularly, and shows you how to make the correct decisions to get the most out of your software.Taking a non-mathematical approach to the various forecasting models, the discussion covers common everyday decisions such as model choice, forecast adjustment, product hierarchies, safety stock levels, model fit, testing, and much more. Clear explanations help you better understand seasonal indices, smoothing coefficients, mean absolute percentage error, and r-squared, and an exploration of psychological biases provides insight into the decision to override the software's forecast. With a focus on choice, interpretation, and judgement, this book goes beyond the technical manuals to help you truly grasp the more intangible skills that lead to better accuracy.* Explore the advantages and disadvantages of alternative forecasting methods in different situations* Master the interpretation and evaluation of your software's output* Learn the subconscious biases that could affect your judgement toward intervention* Find expert guidance on testing, planning, and configuration to help you get the most out of your softwareRelevant to sales forecasters, demand planners, and analysts across industries, Profit From Your Forecasting Software is the much sought-after "missing piece" in forecasting reference.
