What to Focus On

  • Business risk means the chance of loss due to uncertain future events.
  • Risk may cause loss of profit, money, or business position.
  • A peril creates risk, while a hazard increases the degree of risk.

  • Strategic risks come from wrong strategy decisions.
  • Financial risks arise from weak financial position.
  • Operational risks come from interruptions in daily business.

  • Accept and absorb is used for small risks.
  • Avoiding risk is a negative device and may not be practical.
  • Hedging transfers price risk through opposite contracts in two markets.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

A peril and a hazard mean the same thing.

Risk is only about losing money, not about uncertainty or unfavourable outcomes.

Strategic risk is the same as competition risk because both are caused by market pressure.
