Abstract
Within many projects, there are strategic benefits that may defy financial quantification. Nevertheless, as any firm will be naturally concerned with building and sustaining its competitive strategic position and advantage, such benefits should be identified and evaluated and included in the appraisal process. What is proposed is the strategic index (SI) model which aims at doing just that — identifying and evaluating key strategic benefits. The SI highlights the strategic benefits looked for in each capital investment opportunity and then goes on to assess their ‘worth’ within each project.
