2 The risk committee at Southern Continents Company (SCC) met to discuss a report by its risk manager, Stephanie
Field. The report focused on a number of risks that applied to a chemicals factory recently acquired by SCC in another
country, Southland. She explained that the new risks related to the security of the factory in Southland in respect of
burglary, to the supply of one of the key raw materials that experienced fluctuations in world supply and also an
environmental risk. The environmental risk, Stephanie explained, was to do with the possibility of poisonous
emissions from the Southland factory.
The SCC chief executive, Choo Wang, who chaired the risk committee, said that the Southland factory was important
to him for two reasons. First, he said it was strategically important to the company. Second, it was important because
his own bonuses depended upon it. He said that because he had personally negotiated the purchase of the Southland
factory, the remunerations committee had included a performance bonus on his salary based on the success of the
Southland investment. He told Stephanie that a performance-related bonus was payable when and if the factory
achieved a certain level of output that Choo considered to be ambitious. ‘I don’t get any bonus at all until we reach
a high level of output from the factory,’ he said. ‘So I don’t care what the risks are, we will have to manage them.’
Stephanie explained that one of her main concerns arose because the employees at the factory in Southland were not
aware of the importance of risk management to SCC. She said that the former owner of the factory paid less attention
to risk issues and so the staff were not as aware of risk as Stephanie would like them to be. ‘I would like to get risk
awareness embedded in the culture at the Southland factory,’ she said.
Choo Wang said that he knew from Stephanie’s report what the risks were, but that he wanted somebody to explain
to him what strategies SCC could use to manage the risks.
Required:
(a) Describe four strategies that can be used to manage risk and identify, with reasons, an appropriate strategy
for each of the three risks mentioned in the case. (12 marks)
After having assured their return journey,
the writer and his companion could concentrate
on collecting and film animals. Deciding to 【M1】______
enlist the help the local Indians, they made
their way to a nearby village, in which proved 【M2】______
to be a few dilapidated huts in a pleasant
valley. The Indians they found there worn 【M3】______
remnants of European clothes and had
obviously abandoned their traditional way
of life. They kept a few disease chickens 【M4】______
and skinny cattle instead of hunting for
their meat. The writer' s companion explained
that they were looking for birds and mammals,
particular armadillos, for which they would 【M5】______
pay well. Anyone who could show them inhabited
nests and holes, they have said, would be 【M6】______
well rewarded. The Indians were apathetic
and uncooperative. Noticing the absence of
biting insects, the writer asked whether
they had ever troubled by them, to which 【M7】______
the Indians replied by slowly shaking their
heads. The writer recognized that he 【M8】______
considered that having to live in such a hot,
humid atmosphere would no doubt have 【M9】______
made him lethargic too. The headman explained
the inconvenience of the villagers had, for
severe weeks previously, been contemplating 【M10】______
cutting down a particular tree and until a
decision on this matter was reached, no other
activity could possibly be considered.
