The objectives of organisations engaged with crowd situations are subject to serious threats that can disrupt and compromise their integrity and prevent desired outcomes. By employing a risk management process, organisations can identify and assess threats, vulnerabilities and weaknesses and also the likelihood and consequences to the security environment. Risk management involves identifying and assessing threats to the operating environment or strategic goals and prioritizing resources to minimise, monitor and control the impact of events (incidents).

Construction projects in Iraq face many dangers that cause exceeding the estimated cost of the project and not completing the project on time, and since the risk management process in construction projects is of great importance in controlling and reducing the impact of risks in construction projects, so it is necessary to identify these risks and evaluate them correctly in order to increase accuracy and the health of the subsequent stages of the risk management process in construction projects. This paper aims to identify the most important risks in construction projects in Iraq and to conduct a qualitative assessment of the identified risks and arrange them according to their importance. The researcher adopted the questionnaire method as a tool to determine the risks and used the technique of probability and effect matrix to conduct the qualitative assessment of the identified risks. The study found that there are 48 risk factors that constitute the most dangerous factor in construction projects in Iraq, and 10 of the determining factors were within the high level of risk, and at the forefront of which was the inability of the owner to finance the project.

The aim of this study is to get a better understanding for the effect of the set of the risks in the construction projects, in addition to how mitigating these risks in those projects. Indeed risks are frequently playing the same rules, but the nature of project defines the specific risks of the project. The first step in process of risks assessment is identification them. Once risk identification is complete, risk analysis is used to identify the likelihood the risks that have been identified will happen. Thus by using evidence from other research in the area, this study showed the impact of the set of the stages in the risk management process in the construction projects, which were discussed in greater detail in the theoretical aspect of the current study. The findings of the study were revealed the fact that the comprehension of risk and its management has the direct effect of understanding specific issues that involve to the project. In addition to that, the integration of a risk management process at each stage of its stages in construction projects must be oriented to the progress of the project and permeate all areas, functions and processes of the project. In this regard, the most successful project managers maintain open lines of communication throughout their organizations to stay in touch with constituent’s needs.

Risk management is a process concerning not only large organizations, but also enterprises belonging to the SME sector. When this process is managed effectively, it is possible to eliminate the greatest and most frequent disturbances and also appropriately respond to the occurring changes and use the available opportunities. The activity of the SME sector and the impact of the risk management process on the competitive position of these enterprises increasingly gain significant importance. Therefore, it is worth considering how to help these enterprises to overcome the difficulties which they encounter. The article presents the results of the research conducted on enterprises from the SME sector and operating in the Silesian Voivodeship, using a research survey. The research concerned the application of risk management in these enterprises and the way of documenting it.

This article discusses that it is a testament to the hard work and ingenuity of the engineers working in the space program that such complicated systems get launched successfully. To the people who study it professionally, risk is the probability, or frequency (probability per unit time), and the consequence (severity) of an undesired event, and the uncertainties associated with the estimated probabilities and consequences. NASA has adopted a “continuous risk management” process for all its programs and projects. This process begins with the identification and analysis of program or project risks that impact success criteria. The risk management process continues with risk analysis, planning, tracking, and control. All unacceptable risks are dealt with before a project or program can proceed. Probabilistic risk assessments (PRA) are useful in every phase of a mission life cycle, not just at design or before launch. A PRA performed in the design phase can help identify the risks associated with systems and components and with technological options.

As experience in the development of the economy of different countries shows, risk is an integral factor in a market economy. The rapid development of science and technology, the emergence of new technologies, their implementation into production, the increase in the number of innovative projects give rise to new types of risks, which, in turn, complicate social relations. The lack of a unified approach to the scientifically justified definition of risk, its features, classification criteria, as well as the lack of a conceptual and categorical component necessitates the further study of risk in law, which is reflected in the qualitative legal regulation of the relations of participants. The subjects of the research are the economic and legal aspects of innovative activity risks. Accordingly, the purpose of the article is a study of the nature of risk, the main classification features, defining the role and place of legal risks, identifying the main approaches to risk management of innovative projects. To achieve this goal, we have used the following research methods: analysis and generalization of theoretical sources and scientific literature; abstractlogical method in the process of theoretical generalizations and formation of conclusions; general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. In the result of the research conducted it is determined that the risk of an innovative project is a set of risks that combine the elements associated with a particular innovative project, that is, for each specific project and the entity that develops, implements and manages the project will be its own set of risks. A prerequisite for business decision-making is the skills and ability to manage risk, which is to determine its acceptable limits, taking into account the potential negative consequences, which, among other things, will minimize the impact of the risk factor on the planned economic outcome of the introduction of innovation. A crucial factor in ensuring the success of the innovative risk management process is interaction at all stages, in particular during the identification, analysis, evaluation, control, monitoring of risks. Engaging and understanding the risk management process and its need for all project participants ensures the effectiveness of structural and organizational risk management measures. Effective risk management requires commitment, as well as the conscious behavior of each person. The motivation and interaction of the parties involved in the project ultimately determine the quality of the work and therefore the success of the project.

Abstract RISK MANAGEMENT IN THE PROGRAM/PROJECT ENVIRONMENT: The Risk Management process is assuming greater influence in the process of Project and Program Management. The requirements of NPG 7120.5A [NPG, 1998] have created inroads for the results of identifying risk to influence project decisions. Program needs and the interdependencies of risks among projects are receiving increasing attention on major JPL projects. Creating Risk Management plans and requiring risk reporting are beginning to make project personnel aware of the benefit of identifying and mitigating potential future adverse consequences and understanding the trade-offs involved in spending reserves for prevention as opposed to recovery from problems. Risk-based decision-making in the planning phase is allowing risks balancing to be considered, and hard decisions in the cost-capped environment require even reduction in expected mission return in order to provide adequate performance assurance. RISK ASSESSMENT TOOLS USED IN DESIGN AND ASSURANCE: The paper will describe the use of Risk-revealing checklists and compilations of engineering guidance principles as enabling tools for comprehensive risk identification. Also, effective risk assessment methods (such as Failure Modes Effects Analyses (FMEAs), and Probabilistic Risk Analyses (PRAs) will be discussed. Tracking tools appropriate to maintaining cognizance of risk will be covered. INTEGRATING RISK AND MANAGING PROJECT RESOURCES: JPL is in the process of identifying a standardized Risk Management methodology, which is based on the two pioneering methodologies developed on the Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF) and Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) projects. Criteria for assessing risk will be “normalized” with tailoring allowed. Database tools are available now to support this approach for flight projects. The Risk Management team at JPL has developed such a tool, which is in use on many of our projects. An advanced version of the JPL tool has been demonstrated which will provide options for quantitative analysis and resource management trade-offs. Implementation of risk tracking metrics in cost and schedule management systems, and design tools, will allow change to be quickly detected. Also, experience on the MGS project suggests that project management can make effective use of risk impact assessments based on cost, and can therefore gain insight into the effective use of project reserves. Utilizing common risk metrics between the risk management process and design metrics, Problem/ Failure Reports (PFRs), earned value reporting, and other management areas will provide more confidence in the impact of project decisions. INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENTS AND THE SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT OFFICE (SMO): The requirement to balance faithful service to the project customer while at the same time provide an objective assessment of the health of the project to the JPL administration and to the agency will be facilitated through the SMO function. Risk Assessments using criteria common to those that the project uses but identification and assessment by independent “eyes” will allow added possibility for early detection and correction of problems. This will enhance the Risk Management effectiveness on the project, and undoubtedly increase the likelihood of mission success.

The opting for the European integration process, the Republic of Serbia is obliged, through pre-accession negotiations, to ensure the construction of an effective financial management and control system. In this way, public administration reform is supported through an innovative approach to governance that implies efficiency, effectiveness, economy and transparency in the use of public funds, the creation of a management culture based on effective risk relief mechanisms and the prerequisites for achieving the set business goals. The aim of the paper is to look at the interaction of proactive risk management as a component of financial management and control, through the prism of setting goals and assessing risks related to those goals, within the categories related to business, reporting and compliance with laws and regulations. The initial phase of the research is the assessment of the current state of internal control mechanisms and the established risk management system based on the SAI audit reports and the Report on the established financial management and control of the Central Harmonization Unit of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Serbia. Research problems in empirical research are expressed by a series of questions to which selected respondents from the RS public administration gave answers, which relate to the component of risk assessment in achieving goals in relation to business, reporting and compliance with laws and regulations. To determine the measure of the connection between the formalization of the risk management process and the quality of goal and risk management, Spearman ‘s rank correlation was used as a measure of connection Result of the analysis provide guidance for overcoming key barriers and recommendations for improving the quality of management, through formalizing the risk management process, in order to achieve the set goals.
