IGC-DEFINITION (abbreviated)

Risk management / Risikomanagement
Risk in the entrepreneurial sense is a combination of the probability of a certain damage and the size of its financial consequences.

Risk management is concerned with the identification and valuation of risks, also defining the acceptable level of risk and their limitation with the help of hedging methods. Starting point is a risk policy, which is determined by top management and then realized on all management levels. To do so, it is necessary to know all the risks a company can encounter, to valuate them and to monitor their development. This task is often delegated to the controller.

A risk analysis should on the one hand describe the actual situation and on the other hand generate risk awareness.

A Young Girl with a Big Heart and an Old Man with a Lot of Flowers

When I was very young (about ten or eleven years old), I heard that our neighbor, a retired physician, had lost his wife after a long illness. He was such a dear soul, and he had the most spectacular gardens in his backyard. The whole neighborhood could see his glorious flowers from the street. The backyard was a profusion of daisies and roses, snapdragons and lilies, hyacinths and columbines. I used to think there wasnt a flower in the world that he didnt grow.
