Abstract
This paper discusses the task and risk management plan for a small company in which customer complaints need to be addressed in a timely manner. The paper also discusses specific tasks required for the project, the risks involved in the project, the impact of those risks, and changes required for the company in relation to the problem. Risk management determines the risk factors involved in a particular situation, the tasks that will be included in resolving that issue, and how both of these elements will impact the future of the business over time.
From the Paper
"Risk management determines the risk factors involved in a particular situation, the tasks that will be included in resolving that issue, and how both of these elements will impact the future of the business over time. The ultimate concept behind risk management is to reduce or eliminate the amount of risk a company must endure, and to change the course of the business, if necessary, to ensure that there will be little to no risk involving the same situation in the future. The research indicates that "there are always risks associated with any project" ("Project", 2002). The key to the successful completion of the project, therefore, is determining the risks and addressing them effectively prior to those issues having a detrimental affect on the business. "

Task and Risk Management, 2005.
An evaluation of the potential of General Motors' new project.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses a project undertaken by General Motors that involves a new line of business for that company. The paper describes the project as a mixed use business office facility that incorporates a corporate entertainment center. The corporate entertainment center consists of athletic facilities such as a swimming pool, bowling alley and gymnasium. The paper evaluates that while the risks associated with this project are many, GM can largely mitigate all of them by turning to outside expertise and management, as well as committing to a highly constrained milestone system.
From the Paper
"The target project is a multi-use office complex that integrates professional office space leasing and corporate entertainment which includes a full-line athletic sports facility with a swimming pool, bowling lanes and gymnasium among other sporting venues. With an initial investment of $18 million, this is not a large investment for General Motors but is not a traditional line of business (LOB) that General Motors has engaged in previously. Therefore, because this LOB is not founded on GM's core competencies of production management, labor relations and mass product marketing and distribution, it represents a substantial risk not in terms of capital investment, but in terms of corporate brand and reputation. Particular care must be taken during the project planning phase and especially in assigning the project tasks and milestones. These will determine the overall success or failure of the project."

Risk Management in Health Care, 2005.
Examines how risk management is applied to the health care industry.
4,500 words (approx. 18.0 pages), 14 sources, $ 178.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses risk management first as a concept and then as applied to health care in the United States, noting that any human action involves a degree of risk, and managing that risk begins with identifying what the risk may be in each case. The paper shows that once this has been done, the next task involves deciding what to do about it, through a process of risk mitigation or risk reduction.
From the Paper
"Risk is a condition of life and is noted and measured and addressed in all human endeavors. Risk is encountered in financial matters, health matters, safety issues, the workplace, the home, and so on. Risk cannot always be predicted precisely, but risk management is an effort to ascertain risks and to prepare for them in whatever field in which it is applied. Any human action involves a degree of risk, and managing that risk begins with identifying what the risk may be in each case. Once this has been done, the next task involves deciding what to do about it, through a process of risk mitigation or risk reduction. The risk may also be transferred, such as takes place when a person or company buys insurance, an act which does not prevent the harmful outcome but which does compensate for it."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Communication is defined as sending and receiving messages with attached meanings (Schermerhorn, Hunt, and Osborn, 2005, p. 17). Motorola is an organization that has employees all around the world. In addition, many employees work in the field and are rarely around a facility to receive information. As the company changes and installs new procedures or methods involved with logistics within a job, an individual working in the field needs to know the changes as quickly as an individual working at the Motorola headquarters. In Italy, Motorola must continue demonstrating a high-level of ethics. Additionally, the organization must landscape business goals to match the demographics of the country."

Abstract
This paper critiques an article about the use of marijuana by American high school seniors, entitled "The Contingent Effects of Risk Perception on Risk-Taking Behavior: Adolescent Participative Orientation and Marijuana Use". The paper first explains that the authors of the report see marijuana use as an example of risk-taking behavior, and presume that a reduction in marijuana use would mean that the perception of risk has increased and that this is leading to a lower rate of use. The paper then goes on to summarize the report and explain its findings.
From the Paper
"The authors find that risk perception by itself accounts for about 21% of the variation in risk-taking behavior of marijuana use. Using the four participative orientations - sports, fun, school, and creative - the explained variance of marijuana use was increased to 33%, and all activity orientations except creative significantly affected marijuana use. Sports and school showed relatively small negative effects, while fun activities had a distinctively large and positive effect on marijuana use. The authors also find after analysis that the net effect of risk perception on marijuana use was statistically insignificant. "

From the Paper
"Performance Management (PM) is a system composed of an orderly series of programs designed to define, measure, and improve organizational performance (Katz & Green, 1997). It is a system developed to ensure compliance with requirements, that is, that staff are in compliance with written standards. PM uses the tools of statistical process control to form the basis for decisions about change. It incorporates the processes of performance awareness, performance measurement, and performance improvement.
Successful PM requires the creation, maintenance, use, and evaluations of mechanisms to define and revise standards and to inform those affected by the standards about them (Katz & Green, 1997). It requires the judicious deployment of fiscal, human, and material resources. It speaks directly to issues related to quality and such traditional quality-oriented tasks as quality assurance, quality control, and continuous quality improvement (CQI). In such disparate settings as sales organizations, hospitals, automobile and other manufacturing facilities, and schools, PM is a vital element of a cross-sectional, organization-wide strategy for coping with uncertainty, managing change, and "growing" an organization while satisfying client and customer needs (Skinner & Mabey, 1997)."

Risk Management and Risk Assessment, 2008.
An analysis of nine websites and their understanding of risk management and assessment.
1,192 words (approx. 4.8 pages), 9 sources, MLA, $ 40.95
»

Abstract
This paper defines risk management and assessment and discusses their importance to corporations and the public. The paper then focuses on effective risk management tools. It describes three websites and discusses their understanding of risk management. The paper also discusses specific websites that do not display a thorough understanding of risk management and assessment.
From the Paper
"Risk management needs to be understood from a variety of angles. Firstly, risk should be defined for its nature and effect upon not only the company, but also all possible stakeholders. Risk management procedures exist to protect both the workplace, the workforce, or the public. Risk to the corporation is anything endangering the vision, mission and profitability of the company. Secondly, risk to the workforce entails those risks that may result in injury or death to the employee, or that may lead to health or other physical hazards. Employees may also incur risks from non-physical sources such as long work hours or a highly stressful job situation, which could be brought about by a variety of factors. Thirdly, risks can also be posed to the public, in terms of health, safety and financial well-being. A gas company may for example risk the health of the surrounding population by exceeding legally allowed gas emissions."

Risk Monitoring and Tracking, 2005.
This paper discusses risk monitoring and tracking as part of risk management, especially for software project management.
4,000 words (approx. 16.0 pages), 6 sources, MLA, $ 108.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the primary objective of risk management, a proactive measure also used in software risk management, is to provide insights to support informed decision-making by identifying, monitoring, evaluating and estimating various risks which might effect a project and then planning, tracking and controlling the process to eliminate or diminish the likelihood of these risks. The author points out that risk monitoring, an ongoing activity throughout the whole project, is the process of observing, supervising or controlling the activities of other tasks to assess the likelihood of a hazard and the impact that hazard might cause or has caused. The paper relates that risk tracking is a process which identifies both the status of the mitigation actions against the action plan and effectiveness of the mitigation itself, to evaluate a mark or succession of marks left by something that has been completed thereby focusing management's attention of high-risk, high leverage and critical success factors rather than swapping management reviews with lots of low-priority details. Chart and table included.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"As a project manager, it is important to make sure that risk monitoring/identification leads to real action. Use risk monitoring/identification techniques to ensure that the teams are constantly identifying and mitigating risks. Risk management is a very sensitive issue, since it can have a negative impact on a project/work of many team members. It is human nature to try to avoid discussing problems making it difficult to motive the teams to be conscious of the risks. The same is true for monitoring of risks in the risk identification stage. Risks are never considered as positive, and no one really wants to do be the bearer of bad news...therefore as a project manager it is important to shift the team-culture so that risk identification can be looked upon as positive."

Abstract
All projects have a point of origin and a point of termination, a beginning and an end. The challenge for the project manager and project implementation team is to accomplish the multiple tasks needed to complete the project within that time frame. Each project evolves from one phase to another. Typical stages include project identification, planning, development, implementation, closure or termination and evaluation. The stages of a project are similar to that of new products entering the market. Projects, just like products, undergo a life cycle. This paper explores all aspects of the life cycle of the Emergency Department Fast Track Project at Acme Hospital System. The paper specifically focuses on the overall project description and history specific to Acme Hospital System, the life cycle process of the project including the determination of a timeline, tasks, schedules, budgets, risk management plan, communication plan, auditing process for the closure of the project and finally, identification of measurable indicators to measure the success of the project. The paper includes many illustrations, tables and figures.

From the Paper
"The major task in mitigating risks is the ability to change plans quickly in an attempt to minimize the impact of the risk on the overall scope of the project. Although it is highly desirable and preferred by the project manager and team that a project be completed just as planned, this rarely happens. All projects incur risks and all projects sustain some amount of change. It is task of the project manager and team to develop a process and a plan of action to handle those changes."

Risk Management for Retirement Plans, 2008.
Examines risk management for businesses when managing employee retirement funds
985 words (approx. 3.9 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 34.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that, if an organization has a retirement plan such as a 401(k), 403(b), or another qualified, retirement plan subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), the organization is classified as a fiduciary. The author points out that that the company's fiduciary responsibilities to its employees are to provide information, prudently manage retirement funds and make timely contributions. The paper relates methods of risk reduction for the company, such as transferring some of the risk to an insurance company, employing knowledgeable advisers and giving participants greater control over the way their assets are invested. The author stresses that the company must be able to prove that it is acting in a responsible manner.
From the Paper
"In fact, providing such advice does not violate federal law or incur additional legal liabilities. Instead given many employees ignorance about investing, "employers that have feared giving advice are becoming increasingly concerned about not providing" such advice. To minimize legal risks, most firms employ outside investment advice firms to help employees become more informed about the range of investment options and what package is correct for their needs. Remember, this is a risk mitigation strategy, but not an absolution of organizational risk."

Abstract
Managers are individuals who are given the task of implementing the objective of management, which is to fulfill the main goals of an organization ?efficiently.? The paper shows that in order to be able to accomplish and fulfill the specific objectives of an organization, management has different functions. These functions are the important concepts and tasks that a manager must follow and implement in order to keep the interests of the personnel and administration of the organization effectively. This paper discusses four functions of management-- planning, organizing, controlling and leading.
From the Paper
"The function of controlling in management requires not only management skills by the manager, but leaders and managers are required to possess social and psychological knowledge of how to deal with groups and individuals within the organization. Controlling includes effective communication among the members of the organization. In controlling, attitudes, perceptions, and motivations of individuals are taken into account by the manager in order to motivate the members to work efficiently and get the work done. Meanwhile, human resources, interpersonal relations, and group dynamics are also concepts that need to be understood by the manager so that if problems or conflicts ever arise within the organization, then the manager can effectively formulate or come up with a solution that will resolve the conflict. Controlling is best applied in decision-making processes, such as negotiations between personnel and administration regarding a new policy that will be implemented or proposed to the organization."

Abstract
This paper will look very briefly at the historical context of computing, and then turn attention to the near future of computing and its relevance-- possibly its transformation-- of management. The thesis is that while there are certain developments on the horizon which appear to represent radical new ways of creating new ways in cyberspace, to perform management tasks, the real changes will come in how management itself is perceived in light of the new technologies and the changes they will bring.
