Gori, E (1996) Portfolio selection of capital investment projects in the Durban Metropolitan Region. Construction Management and Economics, 14(5), pp. 451-456. ISSN 01446193
Abstract
Linear and integer programming (LP) is used to make rational and consistent portfolio selection of a set of real projects in the Durban Metropolitan Region (DMR). The LP model balances capital funding and cash flow restrictions against developmental preferences and the desire to achieve a healthy mix between revenuegenerating and job creation projects.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
