Risk management effectiveness assures project success. The overall objective of this research is to analyze the risk management practice in an urban road construction project with a case of Shiddharthanagar Municipality, Rupandehi, Nepal from contractor’s and client’s perspective. This research is based on a scheduled questionnaire survey to collect the primary data using convenient sampling of the partially or fully completed project. Contractors are quite aware of risk management and the percentage of awareness is even higher among the clients. The feedback from a similar project was used as the main method to identify the potential risk of the project from both contractor’s and client’s perspective. Direct judgment method is used maximum to the analyzed risk of the project from the contractor’s perspective as well as scenario analysis from the client’s perspective. Monitor the risk and prepare a contingency plan is used mostly for risk response of the project from both contractor’s and client’s perspective. An alternative plan, subjective judgment, close supervision, increment of resources and change in construction methods were applied as a preventive and remedial strategy. Risk should be managed by the one who is capable of managing the particular risk by managing contractual obligation with proper contract administration practices for ensuring the project objectives. There should be a risk register at the site and a frequent meeting should be conducted to identify the risks. These identified risks should be documented properly to ensure expertise for future projects.

Objective - The study aims to investigate credit risk management practices and credit risk management strategies of the local private commercial banks in Bangladesh. Methodology -The investigation is conducted based on primary data collected from a set of both closed end and open end questionnaire from 23 out of 39 local private commercial banks in Bangladesh. Descriptive statistics has been used in processing the data and interpreting the results. Findings - The results reveal that credit risk management practice of the sample banks is sound which is attributed to the appropriate implementation of Basel II and credit risk management guidelines the country's central bank. The findings further show that use of Credit risk grading is most popular and effective criteria for measuring the borrowing capacity of the borrowers. In order to control credit risk and preventing losses from credit exposure banks give more focus on collateralization, accurate loan pricing and third party guarantee. Loan is monitored properly and credit reminder is given to the client if principal and interest remain outstanding for three months. The study further reveals that lack of experienced and trained credit officers, lack of genuine market information and Lack of awareness regarding non-genuine borrower are the most important problems of current credit risk management practices in Bangladesh. Novelty - To the best of the knowledge of the authors the study is the first that investigates credit risk management strategies of private commercial banks, especially on Bangladesh. Type of Paper - Empirical Keyword : Bangladesh; Commercial Bank; Credit risk; Credit risk management; Credit risk management strategies.

Risk Management is recognized as an important exercise that creates value to a project and improves project performance. Time, cost and quality are the primary measures of a project performance in this industry. The success or failure in any construction project can be monitored through the attainment of these primary measures. Notably, Malaysian construction industry is considered as one of the important industries that positively contribute to the increase of Gross Domestic Product and subsequently the growth of the country’s economic development. Unfortunately, this industry suffers poor performance in which it leads to failure in accomplishing effective time, cost and quality performance. Most construction projects face a schedule delay, cost overrun and are poor in product quality. Thus, the aim of this study is to determine the influence of risk management on construction project performance of Malaysian companies based on these three primary measures. The degree of diffusion of risk management practice in the chosen construction project in Malaysia is also examined. The methodological approach exploited in this study is a case study approach involving analysis of documented data and face-to-face interviews with key players that hold different roles and responsibilities. They include a director, project managers, finance managers, contract managers and quantity surveyor managers. The results demonstrate that adopting effective risk management practices positively impacts project performance thus leading to project success. Nevertheless, the lack of knowledge and poor communication of risk management practices in construction projects contribute to the weak implementation of an effective and systematic risk management practices in Malaysia.

Every construction project is always faced with the possibility of various occurrence kinds of risks. The higher the level of complexity of a project, the greater the level of risk that might happen to the project. Based on historical data from tunnel construction many problems and even failure of tunnel construction caused by various factors has been noted and it can have an impact on project delays. A risk management is expected to reduce the adverse impact of risks faced during construction work. Tunnel construction needs management handling with high risk, so it is necessary to identify risks that can minimize bad risks. A risk management is expected to reduce the adverse effects of risks faced in a construction work. It is necessary to perform risk identification to manage the risks that we will face. To successfully improve the performance of tunnel projects, we need to identify various risk factors in a project for efficient project fulfillment. The research method begins with an extensive literature review by reviewing at least 48 journal, journal papers, review articles to provide a list of the main risk factors which are also added to the expertise to achieve a list of final risk factors that contain all risks that may be encountered during road construction. This analysis involves the identification, classification of various risks involved in the construction of a tunnel construction project.
