The component is considered to be resulted from the exogenous liquidity risk, indeed, the bid-ask spread of a stock or a portfolio. This research is conducted from the analysis of an estimation of Value at Risk (VaR) and Liquidity adjusted Value at Risk for two portfolios containing stocks that are currently trading on Vietnamese Stock Market. After applying the Bangia Model to calculate, the backtesting will be executed to check the accuracy level of the results. The difference between the results of two portfolios, according to separate approaches will be the evidence to reach the conclusion of the research. Table of Contents List of...

...failure of risk management: a book review with 7 comments Introduction Any future-directed activity has a degree of uncertainty, and uncertainty implies risk. Bad stuff happens – anticipated events don’t unfold as planned and unanticipated events occur. The main function of risk management is to deal with this negative aspect of uncertainty. The events of the last few years suggest that risk management as practiced in many organisations isn’t working. A book by Douglas Hubbard entitled, The Failure of Risk Management – Why it’s Broken and How to Fix It, discusses why many commonly used risk management practices are flawed and what needs to be done to fix them. This post is a summary and review of the book. Interestingly, Hubbard began writing the book well before the financial crisis of 2008 began to unfold. So although he discusses matters pertaining to risk management in finance, the book has a much broader scope. For instance, it will be of interest to project and program/portfolio management professionals because many of the flawed risk management practices that Hubbard mentions are often used in project risk management. The book is divided into three parts: the first part introduces the crisis in risk management; the second deals with why some popular risk management practices are flawed; the third discusses what needs to be done to fix these. My review covers the main points of each section in roughly the same order as they appear in the book. The crisis in risk management There...

...Risk Management in Construction Projects Using Combined Analytic Hierarchy Process and Risk Map Framework Satyendra Kumar Sharma* This paper aims at developing a risk management framework for project risk management in construction projects and demonstrate its application in an ongoing construction project in Amravati, Maharashtra, India. The various risk factors encountered in construction projects and various risk management methods already in use are identified and then a framework is developed which combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and risk map methods. The data was collected from various stakeholders in the construction project. The findings reveal that the proposed framework helps managers to objectively find out the most important risk factor associated with the project and accordingly work towards risk minimization. Introduction Construction projects in today’s world are marred by risks which delay the completion of projects on time or result in excessive cost overruns. These losses are multiplied if the size of the project and investments made are huge. These risks may include unavailability of materials, erratic weather changes, lack of funds, low quality of sub- contractors (Wu and Olson, 2009), etc. Though the managers realize the importance of these risk factors and mitigating them, they fall short of an objective method to manage these risks based on a priority basis (Martin, 2006). They mostly use ad-hoc or unscientific methods like rule of thumb...

Literature survey and citation/ co-citation analysis are used to fulfil the research task. Literature survey has undertaken a thorough search of articles on selected journals relevant to supply chain operations management. Meanwhile, citation/co-citation analysis uses Web of Sciences database to disclose SCRM development between 1995 and 2009. Both the approaches show similar trends of rising publications over the past 15 years. This review has piloted us to identify and classify the potential risk associated with different flows, namely material, cash and information flows. Consequently, we identify some research gaps. Even though there is a pressing need and awareness of SCRM from industrial aspect, quantitative models in the field are relatively lacking and information flow risk has received...

...The Implications of Risk Management Information Systems for the Organization of Financial Firms Michael S. Gibson* Federal Reserve Board Abstract Financial dealer firms have invested heavily in recent years to develop information systems for risk measurement. I take it as given that technological progress is likely to continue at a rapid pace, making it less expensive for financial firms to assemble risk information. I look beyond questions of risk measurement methodology to investigate the implications of risk management information systems. By examining several theoretical models of the firm in the presence of asymmetric information, I explore how a financial firm’s capital budgeting, incentive compensation, capital structure, and risk management activities are likely to change as it becomes less costly to assemble risk information. I also explore the likely effects of the falling cost of assembling risk information on a financial firm’s organizational structure. Two common themes emerge: centralization within the firm and increased disclosure of risk information outside the firm are both likely to increase. 1 Introduction Financial dealer firms have invested heavily in recent years to develop information systems for risk measurement and management.1 These systems gather data on a firm’s risk positions and compute statistical measurements, such as Value-atRisk, to assess the magnitude of the risks faced by the firm. Increasingly, the uses of these...

...Impact of Asset Liability Management on Banks Profitability: A Comparative Study on Ethiopian Commercial Banks” Prepared by: Samson Abate ID No. GSE/1482/08 Submitted to: Samuel Kifle(Phd.) In Partial fulfilment of Business Research Methods Course January, 2016 Abstract Banks’ profitability is of utmost concern in modern economy. Banks are in a business to receive deposits or liabilities and to issue debt securities on the one hand and create or invest in assets on the other hand. Commercial Banks incur costs for their liabilities and earn income from their assets. Thus profitability of banks is directly affected by management of their assets and liabilities. In addition, different market and macroeconomic factors also influence the ability of the banks to make profits. The asset and liability base of banks in developing countries are narrower than their counterparts in developed countries. This study examines how asset and liability management together with external variables such as degree of market concentration and inflation rate impact the profitability of selected commercial banks in Ethiopia. Although impact of the management of banks’ asset and liability on their profitability has been studied by a number of researchers, the issue of banks’ profitability in Ethiopia has received scant attention from the researchers. This study is an attempt to close this gap, to bring the issues of banks’ assets and liability management in Ethiopia squarely into focus...

...Risk mitigation techniques Risk management involves the process of continuous identification of the risk factors and devising way and methods of dealing with them. The identification process can be done using different types of models depending on the type of organization being analyzed (Chapman, 1996). Dr. Kallman a professor of risk management, has several techniques which he has discussed regarding the risk management which will be compared with other techniques recommended by other authors like Victoria Duff. Understand the risk According to Dr. Kallman on risk management, he has given the following techniques to be used. Dr. Kallman says that before giving the mitigation techniques to the risk, there must be identification of the risks. A risk manager should understand the type of risks which are likely to face a firm and list them down. This is what we call risk identification. For one to know this, there must be clear understanding of the companies’ goals, mission and objective. From these factors, the risk that is likely to face an organization can be identified easily. When the risks have been identified, they can be categorized to three distinct groups such as, operational, strategic and economic. Strategic risks include those risks with long term varied effects on the firm and they are composed of factors like, the reputational risk, quality risk and brand risk. The next set of risk is operational risks which include things like the hazards which expose the business...

...Components Put Sales at Risk” Why all partners must carry consequences for the associated risk within the Supply Chain Author: Mathijs Cornelis van Itterzon What are the consequences of a tsunami in Japan, with respect to the price of Apple stocks? If we ask a regular person this question, one may answer that it doesn’t have that much influence at all. Mainly because people have never heard of the company ShinEtsu, which is responsible for manufacturing thin silicon wafers for Apples products (Der Spiegel, 2011). What many people do not know is that when this Japanese manufacturer has been overwhelmed by a natural disaster risk of stock-out may appear and may harm other partners within the supply chain. One of the major customers is Foxconn in Taiwan which manufacturers Apple’s iPhone and iPad. Still we rely that Apple controls their supply chain well in order to produce sufficient iPhones for the market. Taiwan’s Foxconn is able to produce the iPhones and iPad due to the efficient and ‘justin-time’ delivery from the Japanese manufacturer. Natural disasters like the tsunami in Japan may disrupt the continuity in the supply chain with all the associated consequences. Risk management and mitigation strategies are suitable solutions, which may prevent a supply chain breakdown because one will get insight in high-risk situations, such as the situation in Japan and hence consider how to reduce the associated consequences (Chopra & Sodhi, Managing Risk to Avoid Supply Chain Breakdown...
