RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Introduction
People undertake business activities with
the main objective of making profit.
As there is a chance to get profit, there is
also a possibility of loss due to one of the
essential characteristics of a business in that
it involves an element of
 risk.
Risk exist because there is no perfect foresight about
the future.

RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION
 Risk is undesirable and its consequences are at times damaging
to
individuals,

 businesses and
 the society as a whole,
 mankind is constantly developing its predictive ability through
the constant upgrading and refinement of its knowledge.
 The more mankind is knowledgeable about the future,
 the more certain it will be concerning future events.
 But the disappointing phenomenon is that perfect foresight
about the future is something impossible.
 Thus, risk becomes a fact of life that will remain side by side with
the activities of mankind.

5
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION
 These and related facts, thus, call for the need for sound
risk management in firms.
 There is a need to identity possible risks.
 There is a necessity to device and employ preventive
measures.
 To manage risk, it is imperative to anticipate the possible
consequences of our actions.
 As such, this training manual discusses
 the nature of risk,
 its identification,
 measurement and
 management processes in general and in cement factories in
particular.

RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

RISK AND RELATED CONCEPTS


 Risk Defined
 No comprehensive definition exists so far.
 It is defined in different forms by several authors with some
differences in the wordings used.
 The essence, however, is very similar.
 In general, risk refers to exposure to adverse consequences.
 Some definitions are as forwarded to you below:
 is a possibility of an adverse deviation from a desired outcome
that is expected.
 is the possibility that something we don't want to happen will
happen or that something we want to happen will fail to do so.
 is the variation in outcome that could occur over a specified
period in a given situation.

7
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

RISK AND RELATED CONCEPTS


 For example,
 in a manufacturing organization, there may be a reliance
on a critical component produced by a third party
without which the product cannot be manufactured.
 Unavailability of this component would severely disrupt,
if not stop the business process.

RISK AND RELATED CONCEPTS


 Sources of risk
 Sources of risk are the sources of factors or hazards that
may contribute to positive or negative outcomes.
 It can be classified in different ways.
 Authorities classify sources of risk in various ways.
 Some identify general sources while others become
more specific.
 how the environment in which the firm operates can
become source of risk ?

RISK AND RELATED CONCEPTS


Sources of risk
 Environment as a source of risk
 Physical Environment
 Social Environment

 Political Environment

 Legal Environment

11
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

RISK AND RELATED CONCEPTS


 Physical environment
 This source of risk emanates from our ability to fully
understand our environment and the effect we have on
it as well as those that have on us.
 Examples of physical environment
 Earthquakes,
 drought, or excessive rainfall can all lead to accidental
losses.

12
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

RISK ANDEnvironment
 Social RELATED CONCEPTS
 This relates to changing morals and values, human
behavior, social structures and institutions, etc.
 A social environment is a reflection of cultural,
religious, and moral values of people. As these values
differ significantly, the social environment in
different areas differs.
 For example comparison of a social environment in
Addis and Nairobi may reveal that Addis is less risk
y than Nairobi.
 Note that social environment also includes the
working habit of people.
 A social environment, which is reflected by cultural,13
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

RISK AND RELATED CONCEPTS


 Political environment
 A change in government or a change in its
composition may bring with it new policy directions
that might have dramatic effects on a firm’s operation.
 For instance, if one government in a country changes
to a very hostile government that fails to recognize the
rights of people, business people could find
themselves in risky situations.
 Moreover, when a country is in a political upheaval or
when the government lacks credibility, political
environment can be a source of risk.
14
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

RISK AND RELATED CONCEPTS


 Political environment
 In the international realm, the political environment is
even more complex
 Some countries might confiscate foreign business
people’s assets or may change their policies, in a way that
impedes their operations.
 You may remember what the Eritrean government did to
Ethiopian business people during Ethio-Eritrea conflict.
 This is a good example of politically motivated risk.
 In fact one can see how the Djibouti government creates
problems by changing port related policies overnight.
15
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

RISK AND RELATED CONCEPTS


 Legal environment
 A great deal of uncertainty and risk might arise from the
legal system as it evolves new standards that may not be
fully anticipated.
 The lease policy,
 the investment codes and
 the general policy of an economy concerning
 businesses have a big impact on the economy and
unexpected unfavorable changes would mean a lot in
terms of causing risks.
 This complexity increases in the international domain as
legal standards may vary from country to country. 16

RISK AND RELATED CONCEPTS


 Related concepts to risk are the following;
 Uncertainty
 Probability
 Peril
 Hazard

18
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk versus Uncertainty


 People often confuse the terms risk and uncertainty.
The terms are distinct concepts.
 Uncertainty
 Is the doubt a person has concerning his or her ability to
predict which of the many outcomes will occur?
 Is a person’s conscious awareness of the risk in a given
situation
 Depends upon the person’s estimated risk-what that
person believes to be the state of the world-and the
confidence he or she has in this belief.
 Exists only with awareness;
 it is a state of mind whereby a sentient entity experience19
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk versus Uncertainty


 Some authors argue that
 risk may cause uncertainty.
 Thus, the relationship between risk and uncertainty is
established in terms of cause and effect.
 They state that “knowledge of the existence of risk and
appreciation of its significance creates a feeling of
uncertainty.
 Risk, when we are aware of it, cause uncertainty.” Unlike
probability & risk, uncertainty cannot be measured by
any commonly accepted yardstick.
 In general uncertainty results in a feeling of insecurity.
20
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Decision making techniques under uncertainty


 Maximax
 Maximin
 Laplace
 Criterion of realism
 Regret criterion

21
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk versus Uncertainty


 Some authors differentiates risk and uncertainty in
such a way that
 risk involves assigning the true theoretical or estimated
probabilities to the possible outcomes;
 where as in the case of uncertainty it is difficult to
estimate and assign probabilities.
 Thus, risk is understood as a situation where the
probability distribution of possible future events is
known,
 whereas such is not the case under uncertainty.

22
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk versus Uncertainty


 Example:
 The risk of cigarette smoking existed the moment
cigarettes are produced.
 However, uncertainty did not arise until the relationship
between cigarette smoking and cancer is established
through scientific and empirical research.
 Hence, risk is the state of the world while uncertainty is
the state of mind.

23
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk versus Probability


 There exists also some confusion as to the difference
between risk and probability.
 Probability is the long-run chance of occurrence or
relative frequency of some event;
 whereas risk is the relative variation of actual loss from
expected loss.
 Probabilities are generally assigned to events that are
expected to happen in the future.

24
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk versus Probability


 Thus to each possible event is assigned a corresponding
probability of occurrence that leads to probability
distribution.
 This means that probability relates to a single possible
event.
 Risk, on the other hand, refers to the variation in the
possible outcomes.
 This means that risk depends on the entire probability
distribution.
 It indicates the concept of variability.
 Risk and probability are, therefore, two different things.
25
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk Example:
versus Probability
Consider the occurrence of a particular
event.
 One extreme is that the event is certain to take
place.100% but there is no risk (risk=0) because
there is a perfect foresight as to the occurrence of the
event in this regard.
 The other extreme is the event will not take place at
all (0) . Here, too, there is certainty and, therefore,
no risk.
 In between these two extremes there could be several
occurrences of the events with the corresponding
probabilities of occurrence.
 This puts us in a situation of uncertainty because it is
26
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk, Peril and Hazards


 Peril
 Peril refers to the specific cause of a loss.
 It is the prime cause or what will give rise to the loss.
 e.g. fire, windstorm, theft, flood, explosion, collusion,
etc
 Hazards
 refer to the condition that may create or increase the
chance of loss arising from a given peril.
 affects the magnitude (severity) and frequency of a loss.
 increase the effect should a peril operate.
 The more hazardous conditions are, the higher the 27
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk, Peril categories


 Three and Hazards
of hazards are identified:
 Physical hazard
 This is associated with the physical properties
of the items exposed to risk. Conditions
stemming from the physical characteristics of
an object.
 Examples may include:
 Type of construction (wood, bricks)
 Location of property (near burglar area, flood area,
earthquake area).
 Occupancy of building (dry cleaning, chemicals,
supermarkets)
28
 Existence of dry forest-for fire
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Risk, Peril and


 Moral Hazards
Hazard:
 Originates from evil tendencies in the character of
the insured person.
 is associated with human nature: qualities,
reputation, attitude, etc.
 Stems from dishonesty or character defects of an
individual that increases the probability as well as
the severity of loss.
 Examples may include:
 Faking an accident to collect insurance money.
 Submitting a fraudulent claim.
 Inflating (exaggerating) the size of a claim.
 Intentionally burning unsold merchandise that is 29

 Morale Hazards
Hazard
 It does not involve dishonesty but it occurs due to
lack of concern for events.
 Carelessness or indifference to a loss because of the
existence of insurance.
 This type of individual does not appear to
deliberately cause the accident that happen
 Examples may include:
 Leaving key in an unlocked
 Leaving a door unlocked
 Poor housekeeping in stores
 Cigarette smoking around petrol station.

Hazards in cement industries and their sources


 Risks in cement factories emanate from the processes
involved in
 the production and
 distribution of cement products and
 Generally speaking, there are three major processes of
manufacturing cement such as;
 Quarrying
 Crushing and
 Storage and material transportation systems

Hazards in cement industries and their sources


Associated with each of the above
mentioned processes, there are factors that
are likely to increase

Quarrying
 The quarrying activity includes
 the drilling of bore holes,
 the filling up of explosives and
 the triggering of the explosives.
 Once this happens then the material is loaded and
transported either to open storage piles or to the
crushing area.
 During the process of charging and ignition, the
explosives are transported to the explosion area from
the explosive storage facilities.

Hazards as a result of the storage , transport and use of explosives


 The explosives are stored only in approved
sites that have to comply with the
requirements of relevant legislation.
 During explosives storage the main hazards
are the following:
 Storing explosives and capsules in the
same area
 Entry of unauthorized persons in the area
 Smoking or use of naked flame in the 35

in two towns A and B.
 There are 100,000 buildings in each town and, on
average each town has 100 fire losses per year.
 By looking at historical data from the towns,
statisticians are able to estimate that in town A, the
actual number of fire losses during the next year
will very likely, range from 95 to 105. In town B,
however, the range probably will be greater, with at
least 80 fire losses expected and possible as many
as 120.

 The distinction primarily rest on profit/loss structure of
the underlying situations, in which the events occur.
 Pure risks
 refer to the situation in which only a loss or no loss would
occur.
 There is only two distinct outcomes loss or no loss.
 Most pure risks are insurable.
 They are always undesirable and hence people take steps
to avoid such risks. These risks have no element of gain
 Risk of motor accident
 Risk of fire at a factory
 Theft of goods from a store

disability, loss of earning power, etc…
 Involve the possibility of the complete loss or reduction of
earned income, extra expenses, and the depletion of financial
assets.
 Property Risk
 Refers to losses associated with ownership of a property, such
as destruction of property by fire.
 Persons owning property are exposed to the risk of having
their property damaged or lost from numerous causes
 Property risk stems from diverse perils accompanied by48

 Liability risk
 Is the possibility of loss arising from intentional or
unintentional damage made to other persons or to
their property.
 Speculative Risk
 can result in three possible outcomes, loss,
breakeven, or gain situations.
 People may deliberately create speculative risks when
they realize that the favorable (gain) outcome is,
indeed, so promising. Examples may include;
 Investing in a venture
 Gambling transaction

Static Vs Dynamic
 Dynamic Risks Risks
 Originate from changes in the overall economy such
as price level change, changes in consumer tastes,
income distribution, technological changes, political
changes.
 Are less predictable and hence beyond the control of
the risk manager.
 Static Risks
 Are losses arising from causes other than changes in
the economy.
 Are predictable and could be controlled to some
extent by taking loss prevention measures.
 Many of the perils fall under this category. 50

therefore, left to the society itself.
 They are generally uninsurable. Example include:
 Earthquakes,

 Floods,

 Famine,

 Volcanoes,

Risk management defined


Risk management is a general management function
that seeks to assess and address the
 causes and
 effects of uncertainty and risk on an organization.
 Risk management is the
 identification,
 measurement and
 treatment
 of exposure to potential accidental losses almost
always in situation where the only possible outcomes
are losses or no change in the status.
60
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

RISK MANAGEMENT
 Risk management PROCESS
 is the systematic process for the identification
and evaluation of pure loss exposures faced by
an organization or individual and for the
selection and implementation of the most
appropriate techniques for treating such
exposures.
 is a discipline that systematically identifies and
analyses the various loss exposures faced by a
firm or organization and the best methods of
treating the loss exposures consistent with the
organization’s goals and objectives. 61
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS


 Risk Management practices are widely used in public
and the private sectors, covering a wide range of
activities or operations.
 These include:
 Finance and Investment
 Insurance
 Health Care
 Public Institutions
 Governments
 Risk Management is now an integral part of business
planning. 62

Functions of Risk Management


 From the above definition one can infer that, there are
certain duties left for the risk manager of an
organization. These include:
 To recognize exposures to loss:
 The risk manager must first of all be aware of the
possibility of type of loss.
 This is a fundamental duty which must precede all other
function of risk management.
 To estimate the frequency and size (severity) of
loss;
 Once the possible type of loss is identified, the risk

Objectives of Risk Management


 Risk management has several important
objectives
 Mere survival,

 Higher profits,
 Fairly stable earnings,
 Little or no interruption of operation,
 Continued growth,
 Satisfaction of the firm’s sense of social

of risk management can
be classified as pre-loss and post-loss.
 Pre-loss objectives: - are objectives to
be achieved prior to the occurrence of
any loss. They include:
 Handle potential losses in the most
economical way possible
 Reduction of anxiety and fear associated
with all loss exposures.
 Meeting externally imposed obligations
70
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Objectives of objectives:
 Post-loss Risk Management
- objectives to be achieved after a
loss has occurred, they include:
 The survival of the firm
 Survival means after a loss occurs, the firm can at
least resume partial operation within some
reasonable time period if it chooses to do so.
 To continue operating
 For some firms the ability to operate after a severe
loss is an extremely important objective.
 Stability of earnings
 The firm wants to maintain its earnings per share
after a loss occurs.

 To maintain continued growth of the
firm
 A firm may grow by developing new
products and markets or by acquisitions
and mergers. The risk manager must
consider the impact that a loss will have
on the firm’s ability to grow.

Contribution of Risk Management


 The possible contribution of risk management is
discussed below:
 Contribution to a Business
 The possible contribution of risk management to a
business can be divided in to five major categories:
1. Risk management may make the difference
between survival and failure.
 Some losses may so cripple a firm that without
proper advance preparation for such events
the firm must close its doors.
74
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Contribution of Risk Management


2. Risk management can contribute directly to
business profits by reducing expenses as well as
increasing income
3. Risk management can contribute indirectly to
business profits in the following ways:
 By reduce the fluctuations in annual profits and cash
flows.
 make it possible to continue operations following a loss,
thus retaining customers or suppliers who might
otherwise turn to competitors through advance
preparation.
75
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Contribution of Risk Management


4. Because the risk management plan may help
others such as employees, who would be affected
by losses to the firm, risk management can also
help satisfy the firm’s sense of social responsibility
or desire for a good public image.

5. The peace of mind made possible by sound


management of pure risks may itself be a valuable
non-economic asset because it improves the
physical and mental health of the management
and owners. 76

 Contribution to Family
 The possible contributions may include:
 Protecting the family against catastrophic losses

 Reduction of expenditure for insurance without


reducing its protection
 Provision of relief from physical or mental strain

 Contribution to a society

families benefit from risk management, so does
the society of which they are members.

 The process includes five steps:
78
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

The Risk Management Process


Step 1: Identification of Loss Exposures (Risks)
 This is the process in which the organization is able to
learn areas in which it is exposed to risk.
 It is the most important, and perhaps the most
difficult function that the risk manager or
administrator must perform from among the element
of the risk management process.
 It involves the identification of
 risks that affect the organization and
 identification of the related hazards
79
RISK ANALYSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Categories of Loss
 Although in Exposures
the broadest sense the entire
organization is at exposure to risk, it is useful to
develop categories of exposures for analytical
purposes.
 Physical asset exposures
 Ownership of property gives rise to possible losses or
gains to physical assets.
 Property could be
 damaged,
 destroyed,
 lost or

Categories
 LiabilityofExposures
Loss Exposures
 Obligation imposed by the legal system creates this
type of exposures.
 Liability losses arise out of damage to or destruction of
other’s property or personal injuries to others.
 Human Asset Exposures :
 This involves such loses as;
 Losses to the firm itself as a result of the death,
disability or old age of employees, customers, or owners.
