RISK & CONCERNS
It is a well known fact that risk is an integral part of any business.
If these risks are properly managed, a company will have ample
opportunity to run smoothly and expand its activities. As a matter of
fact Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is a process that covers the
entire organisation in which all the functions are involved to identify
and assess the various strategic, operational, social and economic
risks being faced by the company in its day to day activities and
thereafter determine the responses to either mitigate the risk or
eliminate the same.
Most of the companies in India now recognise ERM as a critical
management issue. This is apparent from the importance assigned to ERM
within the organisation and the resources being devoted to building ERM
capabilities.
Opportunities
1. Rapid domestic growth
2. Robust growth in transportation, infrastructure, power capacity
addition and packaging
3. Diversification into steel production

Threats
1. Domestic competition from established players
2. Change in government policies
3. Price volatility

The ever changing business environment necessitates continuous
