The study is potentially, to explore the effect of discounting for risk on performance of firms listed in Malaysian stocks’ market. Risk management has been part of the corporate philosophy in maximizing shareholders’ wealth and firms’ profit. Managing risk cannot be done in isolation. Too often common risks pertinent to operation, liquidity and financing may be taken for granted by many firms. Risks exist on stand alone, but its implication may negatively severe firms’ performance if not addressed or dealt with properly. Integrating and managing risks may potentially improve the quality of business processes, which may orientate towards attaining firms’ performance at the corporate level. The 2007 global financial crisis has incidentally highlighted the importance of integrating and managing risk and its effect on business. Empirical evidences from the Panel Random Effect (RE) analysis of the above companies showed that the firm’s ability to manage and integrate operating, liquidity, and financial risks steer the firms towards performance orientation.

The concept of organization as an organistical system facing the challenges of the creative economy is considered. It is grounded that the ideal creative organization with a high level of information will represent a certain symbiosis between organic and anarchic culture in the future. It is identified that with the emergence of virtual organizations, traditional elements of the organizational culture lose their value, while the informational technologies create opportunities for communication and collaboration, regardless of distance and borders. Thus, the basis for the virtual organizations creates their adaptability and transferability. Key requirements regarding the creative industry management organization are singled out as following: proactivity, strategic perspective, innovation, initiation of risk, modeling, experimentation and creativity, support of the independent business units’ coordination. The model of organizations’ types, which should reflect their organistical nature, strategic perspective and attitude to risk is presented. The main barriers that limit the ability of organizations to creativity – the lack of the innovative organizational culture as well as the lack of professional risk managers and analysts are outlined. However, these features have not yet organically become peculiar by creative organizations, requiring the development of the appropriate business models culture.

Actuality and relevance of implementation of the risk management processes in the general system of management in organizations are justified in this article. Three major issues can be pointed out as referred to the implementation of the risk management system in modern organizations, such as 1) a high level of costs combined with relatively long payback period; 2) lack of the universal approach to the implementation of the risk management procedures; and 3) difficulties in identification of perspective directions of the systems under consideration. The basic directions of development of the risk management systems in the corporate structures are defined based on the results of comparative analysis of the experience of Russian and foreign companies. The activity in the field of risk management of such corporations as “Rusgidro”, “NMLK”, the Investment Company “RUSS-INVEST”, “Severstal”, “Gazpromneft”, “Metalloinvest”, “Philips”, “Nestlé”, and “Unilever” became the object of our research. Comparative analysis of practices of implementation of the risk management system has been performed based on the following criteria: organizational structure of management, register and prioritization of risks, structure and methods of risk management, and effectiveness of the risk management systems. The results of the study allowed identifying the following basic directions of development of the risk management systems in the corporations: amending register of prioritization of risks; increasing level of integration of the risk management procedures into the basic business processes of the corporations; expanding of use of the external assessments, credit rankings, etc. in the framework of implementation of the risk management procedures; increasing level of unification of methods of risk assessment and management that finally would be a prerequisite for improving effectiveness of the risk management systems in organizations.

The operations of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) in Ghana have recently come under serious public scrutiny. This position was fairly caused by Bank of Ghana’s (BOG’s) announcement regarding 70 microfinance companies whose provisional licenses were revoked BOG (2016). This led to the closure of DKM Diamond Microfinance and some other microfinance companies in the country. This worsening circumstance surrounding the microfinance industry calls for the need to provide practical knowledge on the use of financial analysis tools to manage internal financial risks of the microfinance industry. Data from Akuapem Rural Bank (AKRB) financial statements for the period of 2008 to 2015 (refer to appendix) was analysed using regression analysis, descriptive statistics, trend analysis and ratios. It was observed that the profitability of AKRB is greatly influenced by credit risks, bank size, interest income growth and debt-ratio. The study also revealed that AKRB had comprehensive and adequate risk management structures in place in managing its credit and other operational risks.

Among the tenets of enterprise risk management (ERM) is the need to instill a risk-aware culture throughout the firm. Yet, how to actually interpret and change organizational culture is generally missing from the ERM literature. Prior surveys found risk managers lacked useful information about organizational culture and cultural change to implement a “risk aware culture.” Our survey of risk managers found this gap persists. The disciplines of organizational studies, business anthropology and sociology provide guidance on organizational culture, which involves identifying and interpreting the embedded assumptions, values, myths, artifacts, rituals, and stories that communicate and perpetuate a culture. The risk manager can use this knowledge to apply change to the culture. Changing behavior without changing culture may simply result in compliance without adoption. This article seeks to bridge the studies of organizational culture and change to the risk manager.

Purpose of the work: within the framework of the concept of corporate risk management Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) to study the basic types of risks, assess their role in the modern economy, analyze external and internal operational risks and propose approaches to their quantitative assessment. As a research methodology, it is proposed to use the developed tools of mathematical and numerical modeling, which allows one to obtain, in the key of interest to the decision maker, qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the dynamics of business processes. The operational and economic risks (as very often occurring in the activities of subjects of economic relations) and directly affecting their economic and information security are considered in sufficient detail. It is noted that the risks associated with disruption of business continuity (which enterprises face in their activities) can be included in various classification systems of risks, grouped according to various criteria. The need to identify the mismatch between the design and actual metrics of the organizational structure (establishment of its structure and operating schemes based on the needs of the enterprise/organization) is indicated for solving the optimization problem.
