How do these factors affect employees’ valuation of the option grant? The risk-averse nature of most employees means that they forfeit the remaining time value of the option (by exercising early) to reduce risk. Hence the BS model over-estimates the value (i.e. benefits) of the ESOs to the employees.

centre throughout the play even when he is left he still influences people in that he is all they talk about and just when they seem to have decided to forget about him (when they have decided it is all a wind up) they are reminded of him by the phone call which ends the book. This is perhaps a kind of sign that perhaps he is not a normal human being and some kind of spirit highlighted again by his the fact that he seems at times to be prophetic.
