Risk Management
The objective of this study is to discuss the role and nature of organizational risk management in justice and security organizations and why it is so important. The following will be addressed in the assessment; (1) risk planning and resource identification; (2) management of risk in justice and security organizations; (3) costs associated in managing risk; (4) consequences of failing to manage risk; and benefits; and (5) benefits a properly performed risk analysis has for management and key stakeholders.

Risk Management

Risk management planning involves the consideration of a strategy for managing risk and responsibilities related to assessing, responding, and mitigating risk as well as contingency planning, tracking and reporting. Risk is reported to be defined as an event that is very likely to occur and that would either positively or negatively impact a project if and when that risk did occur. (National Disaster Medical System, nd, paraphrased) Managing risk involves…...

The action levels will include all the levels of risk determination and mitigation involved. First, the process would have to be initiated by means of defining potential problems. A risk management team would be brought into being in order to determine the specific risks involved. The quality inspector will lead the team, and be responsible for obtaining data of aircraft using our part.

In terms of the teams working on the manufacturing floor, I will appoint a personnel manager to ensure communication between employees and management. This communication process is to ensure that personnel have a way of communicate their problems regarding work load or other problems. Furthermore, personnel are also to report problems with manufacturing to the personnel manager. These are to be logged and communicated to the risk management team. The personnel manager and risk management team should then coordinate in the other steps of risk mitigation, including the…...

This emergency management plan has been created for a large independent supermarket chain in the UK. The supermarket is comprised of six locations in total and all of the facilities have petrol facilities at each of the locations as well. Besides the locations themselves, the retail operation is entirely dependent on a well-developed supply chain in order to provide consumers with fresh food, supplies, and petrol. Therefore to maintain any level of operations, the entire supply chain and emergency supplier alternatives must be considered as well in this emergency management plan.

The most effective security reporting procedure is to use the OCTAVE-based methodology. The reason why is because, they are utilizing solutions that will address the total nature of the threat in comparison with the others. For any kind of organization, this helps them to understand what kinds of issues that they could be facing and the impact that it will have on the entity itself. At the same time, it provides a workable formula that can be continually utilized through the various checklists and procedures that they have established. When you put these different elements together, they are illustrating how this kind of approach will help an organization to be able to effectively deal with a variety of threats. While allowing them to: effectively train personnel to understand the overall nature of what is taking place and how to quickly adjust to changes that are occurring. This is the point…...

Risk Management
What is Risk?" Please respond to the following:

Risk concerns both positive and negative aspects of an event. Analyze why it is important to consider both perspectives when addressing risk for an organization. Include an example to support your response.

It is important to consider the positive AND negative sides of any given possible outcome because one cannot properly plan for what is and what is not necessary given a certain event for which there is a risk. For example, a snowstorm might make the roads dangerous and thus make it hard for a brick and mortar store to function but the likelihood of customers driving in that same weather is also pretty low, so the overall loss is not as high as it could be if business was lost. However, Amazon (an online store) would not get that benefit…so that point of analysis is important to determine risks and how/when…...

Project management is a practical and academic field of growing importance as deadlines in the business world grow ever more rushed and profit margins grow ever slimmer. The need to maintain tight efficiency and cost control over all elements of a project is quite strong and growing stronger as competition in most industries grows more fierce, and this is exactly why project management is so increasingly useful. It is by establishing certain parameters and ensuring that they are adhered to throughout the different phases of a given project that effective project management enables controls over costs and timelines in a manner that increases profitability and minimizes risk exposure to the project's stakeholders.

The ability adequately communicate risk levels amongst providers can become difficult. Also, hasty words can create a misperception in the minds of patients, if a doctor speaks too casually. "Science cannot prove a negative, but, where their children are concerned, parents want to be assured that risk is zero," and it is tempting for doctors to ignore communicating data, for fear of communication the issue. Some suggest, regarding all procedures, establishing a comprehensive 'Richter scale' of risks to communicate data to remove the potential for misunderstanding -- for example, identifying the riskiest scenarios, and flagging them for hospital staff, or using the 'pain scale' amongst all hospital staff and on paperwork of 1-10 to communicate how much pain a patient is in, on a feeling level,…...

Financial derivatives are an innovation in the field of finance that enable us to understand, measure and manage our financial risks. The definition of financial derivative according to the textbooks is of a financial instrument, and the value of any financial derivative is based on the value or values of the underlying securities or groups of securities that constitute the derivative. It can be said that there have been three main reasons for the continuously increasing use of derivatives now. These are the volatility of the markets, deregulation and development of technologies. There are also many shapes of financial derivatives, and options are just one form. As is clear from the name 'derivative', the items are just contracts based on or derived from some underlying asset, reference rate or index. The common types of financial derivatives are any one, or a combination of four separate types of dealings which…...

isk Management and Insurance
What is isk Management and why is it important in Business Today? One must first define for oneself the meaning of risk, not only relative to his own life but to his business and financial future. In defining the types of risk, pure or speculative, one will then need to determine the level of risk and uncertainty one is willing to endure to achieve ones ultimate goal. After having answered these primary concerns and depending upon the type of business and style of management being practiced, the risk-taker might decide to create a risk management plan that best suites the business and personal limitations discovered. "The management of risk is a process distinct from its measurement. It involves a set of institutional rules that are largely dependent on (set of) goals." (Focardi & Jonas, pg. 95, 1998).

In the management of risk one may also decide that a…...

A Vital Component in the Governance of Health Care Institutions

isk exists in any endeavor. Many people drive every day risking a traffic collision, others live in areas where the risk of spring tornados is extreme, and still other people work around high power electric lines. The question to ask is how can a person moderate the risks that they face each day? Make sure that the vehicle is performing to its optimal capabilities and that driving is undistracted and intentional. Make sure that a safe place exists nearby to go in the event of dangerous weather. Follow all of the safety regulations that go with the job of an electric company lineman. Basically people need to be alert and responsive to the situations that present themselves. Individuals must also understand that they have taken care of all but the most unforeseen eventualities (such as making sure the car one…...

Risk Management
The six major processes involved in risk management are planning risk management, identifying risks, performing qualitative risk analysis, performing quantitative risk analysis, planning risk responses and actually controlling risk. One might argue that the two most important of these processes are the first and the last ones -- the planning of risk management and the controlling of risk once it actually occurs and becomes a threat to a particular enterprise. Nonetheless, planning risk management has a preeminence associated with it for the simple fact that in this initial step, the vast majority of the other steps are considered. During the planning stage, organizations are essentially determining what sorts of risks they are susceptible to and how, how great a risk these things are to the organization, and how they will respond and ultimately mitigate or control the risk. The best example of this step is an organization that has…...

The reason why it is important to understand the role of the financial markets is: because of globalization. As, this has caused shifts in: the economy and the way people are interacting with each other. One way to effectively comprehend what is taking place is with, the indices reflecting how these transformations are impacting the world economy. This means that ordinary people need to have an: understanding of the markets and the way they are reacting to various events. This will help them to determine, what will occur in the economy over the next nine months to one year. As, prudent individuals can begin to plan on: profiting from these changes or they could protect their assets. In either case, understanding the markets in this aspect will help everyone to more effectively prepare for uncertainties. This is how you can be able to increase your net worth and protect…...

There are so many potential risks in hospital and HMO settings because of the nature of healthcare. Hospitals have a ton of regulatory laws to follow that are passed by federal, state, and local legal agencies. HMOs are health management organizations, which are smaller groups that aim to provide healthcare and insurance options for individuals who subscribe to their services and thus have similar risk factors to general hospitals. Federal agencies like the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the FDA, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) and the Department of Justice are all involved with constantly updating hospitals and other healthcare organizations, like HMO facilities, of the need to stay on top of various risks. Agencies like the FDA establish laws, while the Department of Justice provide a list of healthcare professionals who have committed crimes, "announces penalties, fines, and Corporate Integrity Agreements imposed on…...

Numerous products are available, including currency or exchange rate swaps, forward contracts, futures and options. Another option, which covers some of the translation risk as well, is to index costs and revenues to the exchange rate. Translation risk is more difficult to address, but there are methods. DI can build an operational hedge, whereby inflows from a particular country are matched by outflows. Other tactics, such as using an average exchange rate for the entire income statement or balance sheet, can mitigate the risk but not eliminate it.
Economic risk is a significant form of risk because many of DI's industries are cyclical. This risk is less critical for DI because the company is well-diversified across many industries and countries. This is an operational hedge against the impacts of a faltering economy against any one of our businesses. However, some economic risk still remains. It can be hedged by establishing…...

Crisis management refers to many things, but in a business context it specifically refers to how a firm identifies threats to both the business and its stakeholders and how the organization deals with the threats.  Many large organizations have crisis management plans, but smaller businesses should have them as well, since it is entirely possible for small businesses to be impacted by crisis scenarios. The possible negative outcomes of these types of crisis range from a decline in revenue all the way to the total loss of the company.  This is of....
