Business Risks vs. Project Risks
▪ A business organization has to manage both business risks
and project risks. But there is a significant difference between
the two
▪ When you talk about risk in the context of business, it could
be anything that has the potential of threatening the
generation of profits at the predetermined target levels.
Business risks could be quite dangerous for the long-term
sustainability of the business.
14
Business Risks vs. Project Risks
▪ Business risks are largely about the decisions related to
products and services offered in the market. When a
company decides to manufacture and sell a specific
product, there is always a risk with regards to the
product not working as well as the company had
expected. Other examples of business risks are changes
in raw material costs, changes in shipping charges, new
technological developments and so on.
▪ To put it very simply, business risks are typically more
general as compared to project risks. Also, they would
have an impact on nearly all aspects of the business.
15
Classification of Business Risks
Business risks can be placed in two broad categories:
▪ Pure Risks: negative scenarios over which a company has
zero control
▪ Speculative Risks: possible outcomes (positive or negative)
of decisions and actions
16
Project Risks
▪ Project risks are different from business risks in the sense
that they refer to an uncertain condition/event that may
affect one or more project objectives.
