A survey of risk perception in South Korea was conducted in 2007 to evaluate relative riskiness of typical industrial and technological risks. This article summarizes the characteristics of risk perception using psychometric analyses. The survey with a sample size of 1,194 reviews the perceived level of 25 risk items in the areas of transportation, chemicals, environment, industry, nuclear power generation, and newly-introduced risks. Six categories of risk identified by a factor analysis show that the level of perceived risk does not correspond to the statistical level. Psychometric analyses including voluntariness, severity, effect manifestation, exposure pattern, controllability, familiarity, benefit and necessity demonstrate that voluntary, familiar and immediate risks are perceived as less risky than involuntary, unfamiliar and delayed ones. Risk communication is critical in reducing the discrepance between objective and subjective level of risk. However, the amount of risk information does not always justify a successful risk communication. A safety policy, risk communication strategy in particular, should take into account diverse dimensions of risk reviewed by psychometric analyses in the study. Social policy toward safety can be improved by integrating policy, human, and social factors as well as technological advances.

Most software projects inevitably involve various types and degrees of uncertainty. Without proper risk assessment and coordination, software projects can easily run out of control and consume significant additional resource. Thus, risk management techniques are critical issues to information system researchers. Previous empirical studies of U.S. software firms support the adoption of development standardization and user requirement analysis techniques in risk-based software project management. Using data collected from software projects developed in Korea during 1999-2000, we conduct a comparative study to determine how risk management strategies impact software product and process performance in countries with dissimilar IT capabilities. In addition, we offer an alternative conceptualization of residual performance risk. We show that the use of residual performance risk as an intervening variable is inappropriate in IT developing countries like Korea where the role of late stage risk control remedies are critical. A revised model is proposed that generates more reliable empirical implications for Korean software projects.

In this paper, we report computational testing result to examine the validity of firm's bankruptcy risk estimation through quantification of supply chain risk. Supply chain risk in this study refers to upstream supply risk and downstream demand risk, To assess the firm's risk affected by supply chain risk, we adopt unit of analysis as industry level. since supply and demand relationships of the firm could be generalized by the industry input-output table and the availability of various valid economic indicators which are chronologically calculated. The research model to estimate firm's risk level is the linear regression model to assess the industry bankruptcy risk estimation of the focal firm's industry with the independent variables which could quantitatively reflect demand and supply risk of the industry. The publicly announced macro economic indicators are selected as the candidate independent variables and validated through empirical testing. To validate our approach, in this paper, we confined our research scope to steel industry sector and its related industry sectors, and implemented the research model. The empirical testing results provide useful insights to further refine the research model as the valid forecasting mechanism to capture firm's future risk estimation more accurately by adopting supply chain industry risk aspect, in conjunction with firm's financial and other managerial factors.

Power generation construction projects involving large amounts of capital can affect the survival of a company along with huge economic losses in the event of a business failure. In general, private companies are organizations with challenging risk taking tendencies while public companies have a risk averse tendency to avoid risk, so these differences in organizational tendencies make it difficult to respond to risk. In particular, public companies are more likely to fail than private companies because they choose the contradiction of risk picking to enter overseas markets with high uncertainty despite their tendency to risk averse due to the nature of the organization. Therefore, these organizations need risk management techniques that reflect a risk-averse strategy. Accordingly, this paper analyzes the risk management research papers of the existing overseas development EPC business in order to find the risk management techniques related to the organizational tendencies of public companies and proposes "establishing a performance audit system for risk management of the organizational tendencies of public companies" as a way to extract the risk factors through the examples of overseas development projects of public companies and to manage the organizational tendencies of public companies that affect them.

글로벌화와 정보통신기술의 발전과 더불어 공급사슬은 더욱 광역화되고 복잡해지고 있으며, 이는 공급사슬위험의 발생과 피해를 확대시키고 있다. 공급사슬위험관리는 리스크의 요인분석과 선제적이고 전략적 접근에 따라 기업의 성과에 커다란 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 연구는 공급사슬의 리스크 요인이 위험관리전략과 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 분석하는 데 목적이 있다. 실증분석을 위해 공급사슬위험요인으로 공급, 수요, 운영, 네트워크, 외부환경으로 분류하였으며, 위험관리전략으로 적극적 전략과 소극적 전략으로 구분하였으며, 기업성과로는 재무와 운영성과로 연구모형을 설정하여 설문조사를 통해 확보한 자료를 구조방정식 모델의 경로분석을 실시하였다. 연구결과 운송물류위험요인의 유형에 따라 물류위험전략의 선택에 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 위험수용전략에 유의한 영향을 미치는 위험요인으로는 외부환경과 인적자원리스크이며, 위험회피전략에 유의한 영향을 미치는 위험요인으로 외부환경리스크가 채택되었다. 위험감소전략에 유의한 영향을 미치는 위험요인으로는 운영과 경제/재무이며, 위험전가전략에 유의한 영향을 미치는 위험요인은 운영과 재무리스크로 나타났다. 기업들은 운영과 인적자원리스크와 같은 내부적인 리스크에 대하여 소극적인 수용 또는 전가전략을 채택하는 경향이 높은 것으로 나타나 위험관리에 있어 보다 선제적이고 적극적인 노력이 요구된다고 할 수 있다. 분석의 결과 기업들은 대내외적인 리스크 요인에서 외부적 요인보다는 내부적 리스크 요인에 대하여 적극적인 리스크 관리를 추진해 나가고 있으며, 이러한 추진전략은 기업의 성과에도 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 기업들은 기업운영에 영향을 미치는 다양한 리스크 요인에 대한 철저한 분석을 통해 보다 적극적이고 선제적으로 위험관리 전략을 추진해 나가야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this article was to research the effects of physical environment on risk perception in customers at raw-fish restaurants in the Northeastern area of Kangwon province, South Korea. In this research, reliability analysis, factor analysis and path analysis were carried out. Physical environments were divided into four factors and risk perception into three factors. 'Exterior facility' had a negative influence on performance (p<0.001) and financial risk (p<0.001). 'Interior facility' negatively affected performance risk (p<0.001), financial risk (p<0.001) and time risk (p<0.001). 'The others' negatively influenced performance risk (p<0.05). Lastly, 'press copy' negatively influenced performance risk (p<0.001). Based on these results, various physical environments affected the risk perception in customers at raw-fish restaurants, and satisfaction level of customers was based on risk perceptions. As a result, food-service companies need to manage the physical environment as a marketing strategy, as well as reduce risk perception to increase customers loyalty.

본 연구에서는 국내로 수입되는 중동산 원유를 대상으로 선불과 옵션 등의 파생상품을 활용한 위험관리 전략의 유용성을 실증분석한다. 헤징기간은 1개월에서 12개월로 가정하고 현물가격으로 조달하는 거래전략과 대비하여 1:1로 선물계약을 매수하는 전략, OLS를 활용한 최소분산 헤지비율로 선물계약을 매수하는 거래전략, 콜옵션을 매수하는 거래전략, 칼라거래를 활용한 거래전략을 고려한다. 사전적 분석결과에 따르면 선물이나 옵션 등 파생상품을 활용하면 유가 상승기에 조달비용을 절감시킬 수 있다. 또한 조달비용의 변동폭을 감소시킬 수 있다. 헤징기간이 6개월 이하에서는 선물계약을 활용하는 것이 조달비용 절감과 헤징효율성 향상 측면에서 유리한 것으로 나타난다. 반면 6개월 이상이 소요될 경우 콜옵션 매수전략과 칼라거래를 활용하는 것이 유리한 것으로 나타난다.

This study aims to show the risk reduction effects of round-the-clock trading environment. We analyse the trading results of the currency futures contracts in CME Globex which are open 23 hours a day. These include Euro FX, Japanese Yen, Australian Dollar, and British Pound from January 2005 to August 2013. We generate new price series using only daytime prices during about 7-hour period. This hypothetical "G" data series may have greater gap risk than the original "R" data series. Empirical results show the trading risk reduction effects, that is R data series have higher profits and lower risks than G data series.

This work examines whether IT managers adopt of real options such as defer, expand, contract, and abandon in order to cope with ERP risks, which include technological risk, relationship risk with SW vendors, economic risk, and security risk. We collect data of logistics firms in Seoul and its suburbs in 2018 to empirically validate the effect of risks upon the adoption of real options. The results suggest that IT managers adopt all 4 options when facing economic risk and adopt contract and abandon options only when facing security risk. Additionally, we find that IT managers prefers expand option and avoid abandon option when they think ERP compatibility is high.
