The difference between enterprise risk management and traditional risk management

Traditional risk management focuses on pure risks. In this context, pure risks are defined as risks involving losses or no losses.

The home might be hit by an earthquake, burn down or be infected by insects. If none of these happens, then the owner will not be in a position for losses (Damodaran, 2008).

Traditional risk management focuses on pure risks because of various reasons. People who worked in the insurance field developed and taught the concept of risk management. The focus tends to be on risks, which insurers could be willing write. The job duties of some risk managers are limited to purchasing insurance as many other options are easily available….

Risk Management Events
In reflection of the Exxon Valdez spill, the National Transportation Safety Board and the Coast Guard would both take a direct interest in improvement regulatory considerations relating to the alertness and suitability of an oil tanker's crew. This would be in 1989 following the massive oil spill off the coast of Alaska. According to the text, "Since 1989, much effort has been made by the Coast Guard and by companies like Exxon to ensure better business process and better risk management. Both the public and private sectors added new procedures and new controls in the transporting of oil around Alaska, reducing the likelihood of a repeat incident in that region." (p. 20)

Most developed economies, however, allow the market to set exchange rates, only influencing currency values through indirect means such as the increased or reduced sale of bonds to foreign entities and individuals, or through other means of international wealth exchange. Essentially, all manipulations of exchange rates and actions based on predictions of exchange rates are focused on the forward exchange rate, or the predicted rate of exchange between two currencies at a future point in time.
The spot exchange rate, on the other hand, is the rate of exchange at the current moment in time. It is through a comparison of the spot rate and the forward rate of exchange -- inasmuch as it can be predicted with any accuracy -- that companies and businesses make decisions that affect either the exchange rate itself (in the case of some governments, notably China in the modern period), or more often make….

isk Management in Family Owned Businesses
A family business can be simply described as "any business in which a majority of the ownership or control lies within a family, and in which two or more family members are directly involved" (Bowman-Upton, 1991). In other words, it is a multifaceted, twofold structure consisting of the family and the business meaning that the involved members are both the part of a job system and of a family system (Bowman-Upton, 1991).

Most families seek stability, intimacy, a sense of community, and belonging through the family business (Hess, 2006). On the other hand, whenever family and business are mentioned together, a majority of people think of continuous conflict, competition and contention (Crenshaw, 2005). However, "successful family businesses do not let the family destroy the business or the business destroy the family" (Hess, 2006).

The family-owned businesses are the backbone of the world financial system. According to a….

A lack of foresight and initial risk assessment therefore resulted in the losses suffered by the company.
In the area of maintenance and risk assessment, a lack of regular spillage inspection resulted in financial, legal and environmental risks for an oil company. The oil rig was not inspected on a regular basis, which resulted in a lack of regular maintenance. Hence the damage to one of the oil containers was overlooked, and a substantial amount of spillage occurred as a result. The environment suffered considerable damage as a result, and the company lost financial resources because of the need to clean up the spillage and mitigate the environmental damage. Furthermore, the company's reputation was damaged in terms of public perception.

Also I the area of maintenance and risk assessment, a lack of adequate safety clothing resulted in injury for several workers of a construction company. Disregarding safety regulations, several workers failed….

Businesses are always exposed to risks of several kinds, for which risk management becomes mandatory. To keep the corporation safe, an appropriate risk management program is obligatory even in times of uncertainty. Risk management helps in strengthening communication between the higher authorities and low line workers. The reports and analysis would be shared vertically and horizontally so that risk mitigation becomes easier through a smooth communication flow. It is conducive to a healthy organizational culture where trust is boosted and positivity is encouraged. In the absence of this program, the business would be unable to define its objectives or even meet its goals. This paper aims at designing a risk management program in which traditional and financial enterprise risk management would be covered. Further sections of the paper would discuss how those identified risks affect the organizational goals to get a clear picture of the business's existence and prosperity in….

Enterprise DBMS
Implementing an Enterprise Database Management System

Enterprise Database Management Systems (DBMS) are the catalyst and foundation of many of the enterprise software applications, platforms and enterprise systems in place today. Having progressed from being a relational database in the past to often being used as the foundation for complex process workflow and transaction systems (Casati, Castano, Fugini, 2001) the DBMS architecture has taken on a central role in enterprise computing. The intent of this paper is to analyze the DBMS implementation critical success factors in enterprises, in addition to analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of enterprise DBMS systems and platforms.

Analysis of DBMS Implementation in the Enterprise

In many respects the critical success factors of Enterprise esource Planning (EP) systems reflect or mirror those for DBMS systems, as the latter systems are often platforms for EP applications (Lungu, Velicanu, Botha, 2009). When DBMS systems are implemented, it requires the entire culture….

In terms of the management of the risk, this can be completed through either one or more of the following techniques: (1) mitigation of the risks; (2) transfer of the risk from one unit to the other, one project to the other and so on; (3) the acceptance of the risk; (4) the avoidance of the risks; (5) the communication of the risks and the search for risk management strategies, and last, (6) the implementation of the risk management strategies (Elky, 2006).
Once the company has decided to accept and mitigate the risk, it has several solutions to managing the risk. Steve Elky at the SANS Institute points out that there are at least five methods for risk management, namely the NIST methodology (National Institute of Standards and Technology), the OCTAVE methodology, the FAP methodology, the COBA methodology and the isk Watch methodology. The challenge at this level is for….
