DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM IN PLANNING INVESTMENT PROJECTS by Viktor Kosenko

“…The following results were obtained: it is shown that the efficiency of the investment process is related to the assessment and selection of the most attractive investment projects from a number of alternatives, which will provide the maximum profit in the future; the strategic tasks of investing in the development of organizations and enterprises are singled out; the main finances that can be involved in carrying out an investment project are considered; the concepts of an investment project, a subject and an object of the investment activity were defined; the above concepts were formalized using the theory of sets and the system approach; the basic conditions under which the project should be implemented are formulated; the generalized diagram of the investment project implementation is developed. While developing the method of selecting the optimal variant of the investment project, the types of source information about the project and the organization which will use the finances are involved are determined. …”
