There are several limitations to using the investment appraisal technique and that is the
reason why it is not a reliable and effective method to measure the success of innovative
projects. The limitations to the investment appraisal are:

 Investment appraisal relies on assumptions and forecasts about the future.


These assumptions and forecasts may not always be accurate. This could potentially lead to
incorrect investment decisions. An example is assuming that that the future cash flow stays
the same.

 Investment appraisal methods typically focus on internal factors, such as cash


flows and costs, and do not take external factors into account. An example could be
inflation.

 Investment appraisal may be based on incomplete or inaccurate information.


This could lead to incorrect investment decisions.

 Lack of flexibility: Investment appraisal methods are often based on fixed


assumptions and calculations, which may not allow for changes in circumstances or
unexpected events.
