| Abstract | This study attempts to examine the evaluation of capital investments in the
manufacturing sector of Pakistan. Based on a sample of 15 large and medium size companies,
the study examines and assesses the capital budgeting practices based on a conceptual
framework, developed by the author for the purpose. Although capital budgeting was used by
11 out of the 15 responding firms, the study shows that capital budgeting is still not a well
established investment evaluation instrument to select capital investments. The main reason
seems to be the attitude of the industrialists. The study concludes with a set of recommendations to overcome the problems identified. |
