Risk Analysis


In order to understand these terms: risk management and risk management system, it is necessary first to define the concepts related to the risks. Risk is defined as calculation forecast emergence of negative events (hazards) that cause loss or calculation forecast emergence of positive events (opportunities/chances), which bring us benefits.
Risk is a condition in which there is a possibility of negative deviations from the desired outcomes that we expect or hope will happen. In terms of business, risk is an unfulfillment of desired business objectives and it must include threats and opportunities from the environment that can potentially contribute to the growth and development of the PBS, but prevent development, and thus endanger the very survival of a PBS. The risk, in the broadest sense, is a particular danger, uncertainty, loss, or the uncertain future event that may have unintended consequences. The concept of risk comprises three elements:
• The perception that something might happen.
• Probability that something happens.
• The consequences of what might happen.
