The 2009-2014 Outlook for Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance Programs in Asia & Oceana

The 2009-2014 Outlook for Governance, Risk Management, and Compliance Programs in Asia & Oceana
This econometric study covers the outlook for governance, risk management, and compliance programs in Asia & Oceana. For each year reported, estimates are given for the latent demand, or potential industry earnings (P.I.E.), for the country in question (in millions of U.S. dollars), the percent share the country is of the region and of the globe. These comparative benchmarks allow the reader to quickly gauge a country vis-a-vis others. Using econometric models which project fundamental economic dynamics within each country and across countries, latent demand estimates are created. This report does not discuss the specific players in the market serving the latent demand, nor specific details at the product level. The study also does not consider short-term cyclicalities that might affect realized sales. The study, therefore, is strategic in nature, taking an aggregate and long-run view, irrespective of the players or products involved.

This study does not report actual sales data (which are simply unavailable, in a comparable or consistent manner in virtually all of the countries in Asia & Oceana). This study gives, however, my estimates for the latent demand, or the P.I.E. for governance, risk management, and compliance programs in Asia & Oceana. It also shows how the P.I.E. is divided across the national markets of Asia & Oceana. For each country, I also show my estimates of how the P.I.E. grows over time (positive or negative growth). In order to make these estimates, a multi-stage methodology was employed that is often taught in courses on international strategic planning at graduate schools of business.

A Few Things Every Manager Ought to Know About Risk

A Few Things Every Manager Ought to Know About Risk
Every manager ought to have a grounding in risk and its near kin, decision theory, in order to make intelligent business decisions. Managers view risk in a limited way–four out of five managers think of risk in terms of negative outcomes only, instead of as the distribution of all possible outcomes. Risk should be considered in three different categories: 1) risk as hazard–managers should place their emphasis on minimizing negative events; 2) risk as uncertainty–managers should study all possible outcomes with an eye toward reducing the variance between anticipated outcomes and actual results; and 3) risk as opportunity–managers must assess the risks inherent in opportunities, for taking too little risk can be as much a management failure as taking too much. Opportunity risk reflects the upside and emphasizes innovation, initiative, and entrepreneurship. In fact, the most successful managers take the most upside risks.

Randy Gilbert was privileged to interview Robin Crow on The Inside Success Show.

We all have dreams of a life filled with happiness, health, and prosperity, and of having something worthwhile to contribute, yet this vision of fulfillment and our zest for life fade as we get caught up in the frustrations of day-to-day survival. If we are not careful, our hopes and dreams can crumble into so many pieces that we give up entirely.

Cement Manufacturing in the US – Industry Risk Rating Report

Industry Risk Ratings Synopsis

This Industry Risk Ratings report from IBISWorld evaluates the inherent risks associated with the Cement Manufacturing in the US industry. Industry Risk is assumed to be ‘the difficulty, or otherwise, of the business operating environment’.

The report looks at the operational risk associated with this industry. Three types of risk are recognized in our analysis. These are: risk arising from within the industry itself (structural risk), risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry (growth risk) and risk arising from forces external to the industry (external sensitivity risk).

This approach is new in that it analyses non-financial information surrounding each industry. Industries are scored on a 9-point scale, where 1 represents the lowest risk and 9 the highest. The Industry Risk score measures expected Industry Risk over the coming 12-18 months.

Industry Definition

Industry establishments manufacture portland, natural, masonry, pozzolanic, and other hydraulic cements. Cement manufacturing establishments may calcine (thermally treat) earths or mine, quarry, manufacture or purchase lime.

Risk Overview

The Risk Overview chapter includes sections on Industry Definition and Activities, Industry Risk Score and Risk Rating Analysis. The Industry Definition and Activities section provides a detailed definition of the activities carried out by operators in this industry as defined in NAICS. A list of the primary activities of the industry is also included. The Industry Risk Score section provides the Overall Industry Risk Score as well as the Risk Scores for each of the three types of risk covered that combine to form the Overall Industry Risk Score. These three types of risk are Structural Risk, Growth Risk and External Sensitivity Risk. The Risk Rating Analysis section discusses the underlying factors contributing to the Overall Industry Risk Score.

Structural Risk

The Structural Risk chapter looks at risk arising from within the industry itself and provides a detailed discussion of the industry’s level of exposure to seven key indicators. These key indicators are Barriers to Entry, Competition, Industry Exports, Industry Imports, Level of Assistance, Life Cycle Stage and Volatility of Industry. The Overall Structural Risk Score is a weighted aggregation of these seven key indicators. Each of the key indicators is discussed in detail in this section.

Growth Risk

The Growth Risk chapter looks at risks arising from the expected future performance of the industry. The Overall Growth Risk Score is determined by amalgamating the scores for Recent Industry Growth and Forecast Industry Growth. Detailed analysis is provided discussing the reasons for the growth scores of both.

Sensitivity Risk

The Sensitivity Risk chapter looks at risks arising from forces (sensitivities) external to the industry. The Overall External Sensitivity Risk Score is determined by identifying the most significant (up to 6) external factors and weighting them to represent how significant each sensitivity is to the performance of the industry. Examples of External Sensitivities are Exchange Rates, Interest Rates, Commodity Prices and Government Regulations. There is also a detailed analysis of the affect each of the sensitivities has on the industry, including charts and data tables where appropriate.

Industry Risk and Industry Risk Scoring Methodology

This chapter provides an overview of how IBISWorld defines Industry Risk and discusses the methodology used to arrive at an Industry Risk Score. There is also a table that provides a definition of the seven levels of Industry Risk.
