Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2011 im Fachbereich BWL - Unternehmensfuhrung, Management, Organisation, Note: 1,7, Fachhochschule Regensburg, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nowadays you can hear a lot of risks in the media, because of the financial crisis, which began for several years. The trigger for this was the real estate crisis in America. Loans for homes were confirmed in writing and sold as securities. The bearing risks were therefore concealed. Risk as a term means "the risk of asset loss"1 or as a "hazard of wrong decision"2. For risk management is the second meaning important. Risks are not always bad, because they are often chosen to use the opportunities contained. For example: Would somebody play lotto, if he hadn't a chance to get high profit? I think no. The risk here is the input to play lotto.
