Assignment: Environmental and Cultural Impact on Risk
Organizational and project risks can originate from various sources, and stakeholders can take a number of stances in response to prepare for possible risk. In the same way that individuals of varying age, gender, and socioeconomic status encounter and respond differently to distinct risks, the nature of an organization's product or service influences the types of risk it will incur and the responses available to it. If you think about a time in your own life when you have tried to anticipate and plan for the future, you may have realized that a strategy that proved effective for a family member or co-worker was not equally effective for you.
The PMBOK Guide (Project Management Institute, 2017) refers to these environment/cultural aspects as Enterprise Environmental Factors and suggests that these factors play an important role in managing risks.
For this Assignment, read Chapter 1 and Appendix 1 in Fundamentals of Enterprise Risk Management (Hampton, 2015).
Considering the Russian Frozen Chicken case study, answer the following questions:
• How did the environment/culture surrounding the buyer (Russian company) impact the risks that were identified on this project?
• How did the environment/culture surrounding the buyer (Russian company) impact the choices available for risk responses?
• Considering the risks and the responses made by the buyer, would you have made the same choices? If not, what choices would you have made? Explain and defend your choices.
