E-mail: kwak@gwu.edu A b stra ct Monte Carlo simulation is a useful technique for modeling and analyzing real-world systems and situations. This paper is a conceptual paper that explores the applications of Monte Carlo simulation for managing project risks and uncertainties. The benefits of Monte Carlo simulation are using quantified data‚ allowing project managers to better justify and communicate their arguments

Monte Carlo Simulation Risk analysis is part of every decision we make. We are constantly faced with uncertainty‚ ambiguity‚ and variability. And even though we have unprecedented access to information‚ we can’t accurately predict the future. Monte Carlo simulation (also known as the Monte Carlo Method) lets you see all the possible outcomes of your decisions and assess the impact of risk‚ allowing for better decision making under uncertainty What is Monte Carlo simulation?

Monte Carlo Simulation in Finance for Calculating European Options Value 1. Introduction An option is a financial instrument whose value depends on a value of underlying security. Options trade started in 1973 at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Hull‚ Fundamentals of futures and options markets 2008). Nowadays‚ options have become a crucial tool in finance; they have become valuable both for financial institutions and investors. Options are attractive to investors since they have great effect

the largest B2C online shopping website in China in the area of supply chain management. The main issue is under the assumption of using two logistic methods including self-run logistic mode and third-party logistic mode for the company to ship the products. Under this condition‚ we use the Monte-Carlo Model to calculate the total cost of two methods and then to analysis two models in specific to work out which mode cost less and has the high efficiency. At last‚ we offer our solutions and recommendations
