Rank the problems in implementing portfolio management from largest to smallest and justify your rankings
What will be an ideal response?
Recent research seems to suggest that the following are among the most common problems in effective portfolio management: conservative technical committees that are beholden to favorite projects, methods or technologies that no longer fit the market or company's strategic thrust; out-of-sync projects and portfolios that may contain worthwhile projects but these projects won't take the company in the direction it is currently targeted; unpromising projects that won't improve a company's operations or revenues; and scarce resources such as human labor, cash, and raw materials. Of these, the text suggests that scarce resources may be the most pernicious problem, although answers will vary in students' rankings.
