Risk Management Options
Category: Risk Management Jobs | Jan 28, 2010 |
Risk management as a shared or centralized activity must accomplish the following tasks: identity concerns; identify risks & risk owners – evaluate the risks as to likelihood and consequences; assess the options for accommodating the risks; prioritise the risk management efforts; develop risk management plans; authorize the implementation of the risk management plans; track the risk management efforts and manage accordingly. It is possibilities that are being accommodated. It is management’s job to do the planning that will accommodate the possibilities. The customer is the final judge, but internal goals should be to a higher level than customer expectations.
The key words in risk management are: proactive; management; accommodate; acceptably; professional; possibility. The need for new risk assessment and management techniques is required to continuously track down potential and critical risks, and to develop strategies for handling these risks, for example: during product development. It is obvious that without a strong risk management plan as part of the process, a company will waste time, money, and resources, and will fail to manage the projects correctly.
Risk management is the sum of all proactive management-directed activities within a program that are intended to acceptably accommodate the possibility of failures in the elements of a program. From an organisation’s perspective a failure is anything accomplished in less than a professional manner and/or with a less-than-adequate result.
Risk Management Options
Risk management options are usually cited as risk handling options subdivided as: avoidance, control, assumption, risk transfer, and knowledge and research. Generally, the assessment of management options is a hip shot since the necessary decisions must occur early in a program when things are still fuzzy. However, if experienced personnel are given the facts, one can expect very good decisions since there is seldom any real mystery about the practicality of options available. (The practicality of any option is usually just an issue of schedule and funding.)
Avoidance: Use an alternate approach that does not have the risk. This mode is not always an option. There are programs that deliberately involve high risks in the expectation of high gains. However, this is the most effective risk management technique if it can be applied.
Control: Controlling risks involves the development of a risk reduction plan and then tracking to the plan. The key aspect is the planning by experienced persons. The plan itself may involve parallel development programs, etc.
Assumption: Simply accepting the risk and proceeding. However, there can be a tendency within organizations to gradually let the assumption of a risk take on the aura of a controlled risk.
Risk Transfer: Means causing another party to accept the risk, typically by contract or by hedging. Liability among construction or other contractors is often transferred this way.
Knowledge & Research: This mode is not “true” risk handling, but rather a technique for strengthening other techniques. This approach can best be viewed as an adaptation of the approach used by a student writing a thesis: intensive study with specialised testing – in other words doing your homework.
Never expect initial risk management plans to be perfect. Practice, experience, and actual loss results will dictate changes in the plan to allow different decisions to be made in dealing with the risks being faced. In order for companies to succeed in the twenty-first century, they need to excel in all aspects of their business, which includes risk management, so they can fulfill their own and their customer’s goals.
Conclusion
Risk management is an on-going process, and is a combination of proactive management-directed activities within a program that are intended to accommodate the possibility of failures.

What's the job title you can get after you major or get your degree in RISK MANAGEMENT AND INSURANCE?I just need to find out what you call a person who graduates with that. Because I wanna find out the average salary.
The lowest risk option strategy is to sell covered calls. With this strategy you can earn extra income on stocks that you are currently holding. It works like this…
Say you own 500 shares of XYZ and you bought them at 50. If you think the stock will stay around 50 you can sell 5 calls for XYZ. There's many different strike prices to choose from and many expiration dates. The longer time period out, you will receive a higher premium. I like to sell the next months call at a strike price at 50 or above.
Say it's the 3rd Friday in May. You can sell the June 50calls at say, 0.75. That means is you sell 5 calls you'll get paid 5*100*0.75 or $375.00 to give someone the right to buy your 500 share of XYZ on or before the expiration date of th 3rd Friday in June. (Options always expire on the 3rd week of the month). If XYZ stays at 50 or below, the option expires worthless and you keep the $375 and your 500 shares of stock and you can do the same process for the next month. As soon as the covered calls are sold, the monies show up in you brokerage account.
By the way, this doesn't consider broker fees. My broker charges $8 + 0.75 per option, so to sell the 5 options of XYZ, it costs $11.75.
There are many strategies, but this is by far the least risk.
If your interested, the best explanation of option straegies i've found is in a book, "Getting Started in Options", by Michael C. Thomsett. I found a copy on eBay for about $5.

I think you should go with a good stock/bond configuration…. Keep it simple with the minimilast aproach to keeping the options open on the assignment risk….. Don't worry about failing the liptan assignment book, it would even out by the end of the costume period……….
Hello John:
I think the better for you is to start with the book Futures and options "Introduction to the markets" by Hull. It is a very good to understand this kind of instruments. In my opinion is the first step to know about that.
Then there is another book by the same author ( Hull, John) named only Futures and Options, this is more difficulty but is the second step to obtain a good idea about this topic.
Bye, I hope I were usefull.
You have to think about where your intrests are…
HR- Administrative type work, requiers confidentiality, you cant be friends with anyone you work with, Lots of legal stuff
Marketing- Are you outgoing? this position can take you into sales or actual print/online marketing. Statistics and math is very important for measuring marketing results
Risk Managment- Lots of legal stuff, depending on the position you may work on your own most of the day
Accounting- you sit in front of your PC all day and crunch numbers. process invoices for payment, run checks.
thats an overview of all of thoes in a business type environment… its really up to you and what you enjoy doing… think back to the ge classes you took that correlate to the areas you are considering, think about what you liked and didnt like. that may help you make a decision
The best place to get a grant for your college education is by completing the FASFA form. It will tap into need based financial aid from the state and federal governments along with the college itself. I recommennd waiting a year before returning to school to get the most in government grants because you most likely passed your state's financial aid deadline. The amount awarded is based on a percentage of your income and savings along with your number of dependents. I also recommend checking with your company's human resource office because some places do offer a tuition reimbursement plan. Good luck!
Accounting.
Also it is one of the last positions to ever be eliminated during cutbacks, especially if your are specialized.
This is a quite fascinating question; I like it, I really do.
Having already been accused of romanticism, and being further aware that I'm now approaching the threshold of *complete* impracticality (hereby dubbed "The Glitter Line"), I'd still like to believe we have moved to some point of illumination, where failure is an option. I do see a change. Certainly, we have longer life expectancies since "with your shield or on it" went out of vogue. Now we live to fight another day. We just don't get a promotion.
It is undeniably reasonable to call failure a learning experience. It is indisputably compassionate to subscribe to the philosophy that "doing your best is a success". It is irrefutably true that greater risk equals greater reward. But tolerance of failure is not in our nature; it is learned.
In the old debate the scales are tipping away from "nurture". Even complex psychological behaviors are being linked to genetics. Tolerance is enlightenment; but our nature is still ruled by FEAR. It's a subtle undercut. The boss shouts "Innovate!", and everyone hears the silent addendum, "but if you screw up, you're gone."
That's the Mcdonaldization of society–we are all fundamentally aware that we are replaceable–in our career, in our personal relationships–we are interchangeable parts. There is no "cashing in on experience", unless the experience brought in the "cash".
Can Fear be overcome? Perhaps we should lock Evolution in a room with a dozen motivational speakers, and two dozen psychologists… that ought to speed things up.
In the meantime, I've come up with a new "My First Act as President": National Failure Day!
It will be the day on which everyone goes out of his way to fail. Everyone will try something wildly impractical, and celebrate the knowledge gained.
It will be complete with "Kiss Me, I'm a Failure" T-shirts, and "Spectacular Failure!" greeting cards, and helium balloons that say "Fall again. Fall harder."
Of course, some joker will try to out-fail the rest by skydiving over teh desert with wings made of wax and popsicle sticks, and Failure Day will fail–but, hey, I'm a huge fan of irony.
I think there are more factors involved. If you have some great contacts for jobs then any one can be lucrative. Otherwise I would probably go with Finance or Mgmt.
Rather than worry about anyone else, you need to figure out which type of business admin. you would most flourish in. Each of the concentrations is vastly different. for example, much of marketing needs an outgoing and/or creative personality – if that's not you, no matter how others did, you won't like it and probably won't be successful. Try to figure out what you want to do with the rest of your life and then concentrate there.
FWIW, I have a BSBA with a concentration in economics and an MS-Management with a concentration in HR – I find both of them fascinating but completely different in outlook and what the job requires.
