Nowadays—and due to an increasingly competitive world—organizations need to collaborate in an open innovation context to be efficient and effective by achieving high levels of innovation with their products and services. However, the existing resources—as well as the innovation achieved from the diversity of partners involved—brings challenges to the management; in particularly with risk management. To fulfill such needs, risk management frameworks have been created to support managers, on preventing threats with systems development, although without properly account the influence of each system component, on the entire system, as well as the subjectivity within human perception. To account for these issues, a framework supported by fuzzy logic is presented in this work, to evaluate the risk level on system development in open innovation environment. The approach robustness is assessed by using a case study, where the challenges and benefits found are discussed.

Enterprise systems development approaches can be classified into development-centric and procurement centric approaches. Based on the component-based system development methodology (CBSD), this chapter proposes a procurement-centric framework to develop enterprise content management (ECM) system. Adopting CBSD to develop ECM system avoids the drawbacks of the development-centric approaches, and remedies the ECM field lacks where there is no system development method that helps in selecting and implementing the ECM system. To validate the proposed framework, the author applies it to a case study from a large research institution with more than 30,000 students.

<p>Organisations and especially Government departments develop information systems for their own specific needs, due to this Government departments invests a great deal in information systems development and implementation projects. The intention is to save on cost and develop information systems according to their needs and requirements. Unfortunately such projects are vulnerable and subject to a range of risks.  This case study identifies the risk factors involved in information systems development and implementation projects and the risk processes that are in place to mitigate against those risk factors. Furthermore the case study investigates an information systems development and implementation project where four legacy systems were to be merged into one newly developed system. The project was interrupted when an organisational merger resulted in the loss of key members of the governance board and the project team, either through redundancy or being allocated other responsibilities within the organisation. This exposed the project to unpredictable risk which caused the project to head down the path of possible failure.  The case study outlines the project plan, what actually happened and what according to the interviewed participants happened during the project. It is clear that the risk management processes wasn't followed and that wrongful decisions were made during the organisational merger. Unpredictable risks as a result of the merger and the decision to continue the project required a strong governance board, proper project management, proper risk management and the execution of the risk management processes. The lack of governance and project management had a huge impact on the project while the loss of expertise and knowledge added to the risk profile which resulted in further complications to the project. It’s during these situation that a strong governance board and proper project management is needed to make those critical decisions and steer the project towards success.</p>

Supply chain activity has an opportunity for the occurrence of risk. Therefore, risk management is needed in the handling of risk with the aim to minimize the risk level and impact of those risks. PT. XYZ of PT Pupuk Indonesia (Persero) engaged in the fertilizer industry. The main product produced is urea fertilizer. In the production process, the factory is supported by adequate production facilities and international standard technology. Currently, PT XYZ does not yet have risk management which explicitly discusses the proposed risk management along with the handling strategies required by the company. By looking at the current condition of the company, in order to achieve the goals to be achieved the company needs a good supply chain planning such as by identifying the risks that exist in the supply chain and preventive measures. Performed risk analysis and evaluation of potential supply chain companies using HOR (House Of Risk) tools. After the research there were 42 risk events and 42 risk agents. With the 80/20 pareto approach, 9 risk agents are planned for mitigation action. There are 11 recommended risk mitigation actions recommended to the company in the hope of addressing the risk of urea fertilizer supply chain.

It has been well-known that the chance of successfully delivering a software project within an allocated time and budget is very low. Most of the researches in this area have concluded that “user's requirements” of the systems is one of the most difficult risks to deal with in this case. Interestingly, until today, regardless of amount of effort put into this area, the possibility of project failure is still very high. The issue with requirement can be significantly increased when developing an artificial intelligence (AI) system, where one would like the systems to autonomously behave. This is because we are not only dealing with user's requirements, but we must also be able to deal with “system's behavior” that, in many cases, do not even exist during software development. This chapter discusses a preliminary work on a framework for risk management for AI systems development projects. The goal of this framework is to help project management in minimizing risk that can lead AI software projects to fail due to the inability to finish the projects on time and within budget.

In most industrial embedded systems development projects, the software and the hardware development parts are separated, and the constraint requirements/capabilities are informally exchanged in the system development phase of the process. To prevent failures due to the violation of timing constraints, hardware components of the platform are typically over dimensioned for the capabilities needed. This increases both cost and power consumption. Performance analysis is not done sufficiently at early stages of the development process to optimize the system. This chapter presents results of the integration of tools and extra modeling to offer new performance analysis capabilities in the early stages of the development process. These results are based on trace generation from code instrumentation. A number of enhancements were made, spanning the system modeling stage down to the execution stage (based on an ARM dual core Cortex A9-based target board). Final results taken from a software-based radio case study (including the analysis and validation stages) are presented.

Every system, when connected to a network, is susceptible to threat of being hacked. It is important to protect all systems of an organization in real-time in a cost-effective manner. This article presents a well-designed and integrated database for risk management data using a dashboard interface in real-time risk that makes it easy for risk managers to reach a understanding the level of threats to be able to apply right controls to mitigate them. In this article, a case study of a data center for a statistical management institute is presented that proposes the calculation of total risk at the organization level by using the proposed risk database. A digital dashboard is also designed for presenting the risk level results so that decision makers can apply counter measures. The risk level on a dashboard viewer makes it easy for decision maker to understand the overall risk level at the statistics data center and assists in the creation of a tool to follow-up risk management since the time a threat hits until the time of its mitigation.
