A critical concern for corporations pursuing geographical expansion strategies involves property evaluation. In order for expansion to be successful, corporations must identify cities and properties that offer a good fit with the firm's corporate strategy. Unfortunately, little has been written to aid corporations in making complex property selection decisions. This paper presents a model that combines the concepts of strategic management, the management science technique of goal programming, and micro computer technology to provide managers with a more effective and efficient method for evaluation property and making selection decisions. Several price indexes are published which could be used as a measure of appreciation, but their focus on aggregate price changes does not facilitate their inclusion in micro-level studies of housing decisions.
