Risk management Assignment

Tessile, S. A., a company based in Turin, Italy, is a medium-size company that manufactures, sells, and exports textiles. An increased demand for the company’s high-quality textiles has led to the approval by its CEO, Giuseppe Franco, to implement a major expansion to other markets. Mr. Franco is seen as a visionary leader in the textile industry as he transformed a cotton plantation company into one of the major textiles companies in northern Italy.

Mr. Franco recently led an aggressive and successful series of acquisitions of wineries in southern and central Italy. Mr. Franco wants to follow these acquisitions by purchasing and introducing Tessile S.A. to the tourist and cheese industries. However, these last winery acquisitions left the company in serious debt and with its shares losing value due to the perceived negative view of Mr. Franco’s strategy by its shareholders moving away from their core textile business.

You have been assigned to advise Tessile, S.A. board of directors on identifying potential hazards, threats, and risks of Tessile’s business strategies.

Create a PowerPoint presentation that consists of at least 10 slides with a separate title slide and reference slide (not included in your number count). Be sure to include the following information in your presentation:

• Explain the process you will use to identify potential hazards, threats, and risks of the company’s current business strategies.
• Identify the potential hazards, threats, and risks that you discovered when Read “Case 5.1 Help Wanted!” on pages 164-165 of your textbook.

For this assignment, answer the questions below; your assignment should be a minimum of two pages in length, and it should be formatted according to APA guidelines. A title page and reference page should be included in addition to the two pages of content.

In your response, make specific references to concepts you learned in Chapter 5 and other sources that support your analysis of the questions. Convince the reader that your response to the questions is correct. Using outside sources other than the textbook is not required; however, they can be helpful in your responses.

• What tools should Fred use to select candidates with the right profile for the job he is hiring for?using your process.

Be sure to include notes in your presentation where necessary. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.

Consider the following statement: “In preparing for the Cherokee removal, state and federal officials were motivated solely by desire to seize the natives’ land.” In your post, consider the following:

• Does this statement present the full picture? Revise this statement to present a more complex explanation of the motivations that drove state and federal officials (and the white citizens of Georgia) during the years immediately preceding the Cherokee removal. Explain the choices you made in your revision.
• Next, consider how you can take a similar approach to your own topic in order to more fully understand the historical complexity. What other viewpoints would you want to further explore in order to more fully understand your topic?

In response to your peers, share any preconceived notions you may have about their topic. Lastly, consider how further exploration of the viewpoints around their topic would potentially change the lens through which they currently view the event.

This assignment requires you to write a report dealing with the issues listed and described below. Schedules and cost estimates are not required for the very good reason that they involve an imprecise process that is part of project management rather than an analysis and design activity.

Part A should be set up as a report, with an introduction and appropriate headings reflecting the topics and tasks below.

Before you proceed, read (if you have not already done so):

 

 “Activities of Core Process 1: Identify the Problem and Obtain Approval” on pp. 262–271 of the textbook.

 “Stakeholders” on pp. 46–48 of the textbook.

Also, download the files on the Car Sharing case study from the Important Resources block on the right of the course home page, and read through them.

Carefully review the definition of all terms and concepts in the detailed instructions below!

 

Your report should be set up as follows:

 

I. The Business Environment

This section of the report should provide sufficient background information to allow someone not familiar with the business situation to understand the justification for this project.

Start by addressing the following tasks:

 

1. Identify the business need for the Car Sharing IS project.

2. Consider the needed interfaces to other systems.

3. Analyze the system stakeholders, and briefly describe their “stakes.”

Stakeholders include the project sponsor and internal and external users. The textbook provides an example for the RMO case. See p. 49 of the textbook, and especially Figure 2-7.

II. The System Vision

The system vision clearly describes how the information systems development project and new system will contribute to the strategic direction of the Car Sharing organization and pilot project (see Figure 9-5 on p. 264 of the textbook). Specifically your report should address the following issues:

 

1. What are the system objectives for the Car Sharing IS?

2. What business benefits are to be obtained from the Car Sharing IS?

3. What system capabilities are required?

 

III. Risks and Feasibility

This section of your report identifies risks and confirms the feasibility of the information systems development project. Project feasibility analysis verifies whether a project may be started and successfully completed. Your report should address the feasibility issues listed below. Start by clearly describing what issues are addressed by each feasibility category (see the relev
