This new perspective doesn’t only concern enterprises but also any organization as all of them have to invest in order to stay in the market, that is, there is an implementation of the plotted strategy.

The student’s conditions of the Management level of knowledge is important and the teacher should assume a pioneer role in his learning process by teaching them to analyse and to act in an autonomous and independent way in order to validate the values and to understand the meaning to support the decision of accepting or not accepting an investment. Decision makers at many levels of organizations are frequently confronted with important choices concerning financial aspects of the organization. Increasingly this is the case not only for decision makers in private-sector organizations, but also for those within the public sector. Financial decisions and financial planning are central to the success of any business organization. Any operating plan for business must have alongside it a financial plan which allows implementation of the proposed operational details. The aim of this project is to clarify the most important variables, which are called the Sensitive Points in the Investment Projects. From a group of ten variables, the student considered the most important ones: Sale Price – Value of Investment – Life of Investment.
