Special Issue on Risk Management

Risk Management is the identification, assessment, and prioritization of risks followed by coordinated and economical application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability and/or impact of unfortunate events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. Risks can come from uncertainty in financial markets, threats from project failures (at any phase in design, development, production, or sustainment life-cycles). Risk management also faces difficulties in allocating resources. This is the idea of opportunity cost. Resources spent on risk management could have been spent on more profitable activities. Again, ideal risk management minimizes spending and also minimizes the negative effects of risks.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore risk management. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Resources expended to mitigate risk
• Organizational processes
• Decision making process
• Uncertainty and assumptions
• Based on the best available information
• Risk control
• Continual improvement and enhancement
• Continually or periodically re-assessed

Authors should read over the journal’s Authors’ Guidelines carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly notice that the “Special Issue’’ under your manuscript title is supposed to be specified and the research field “Special Issue - Risk Management” should be chosen during your submission.

According to the following timetable:
