This paper analyzes the profile required by a chief risk officer (CRO) in large companies in Colombia, based on knowledge of the traits, skills, aptitudes and knowledge that are necessary to achieve adequate performance, so that it contributes the achievement of objectives. The study is carried out under a qualitative methodology of descriptive scope. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with risk managers of large Colombian companies in different sectors, and experts. In the results found it can be evidenced the importance to the chief risk officer and as well as to develop their profile both in technical aspects and in the soft skills they require. This is due to the fact that from their performance they add value to the company with their expertise and provide a prospective vision on the risk situations to which they may be exposed. This paper contributes to the knowledge about CRO that requires further academic research. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is intended as a contribution to risk and security analysis in organizations dedicated to the execution of measures for the population in conflict with the criminal law. In other words, this paper attempts to advance within a theoretical framework that allows for an analysis of the particularities of risk management in environments of deprivation of liberty, such as prisons. For this purpose, information is taken from the case of the National Institute for Adolescent Social Inclusion (INISA), in Uruguay. This is the only institution in the country dedicated to the management of measures on adolescents who were convicted of a crime. The central objective will be to analyze what different meanings of security coexist in everyday work and how these different perspectives converge in real work. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Risk prevention approaches on activities, functions or processes are fundamental elements to prevent events that are harmful to companies. Each non-conforming product is related to undesirable events associated with the factors intervened in the process. The identification, analysis, evaluation, treatment, communication and monitoring of these unwanted events will help to increase the quality of the products and productivity in the production process. In this paper, we proposed a methodological design for the prevention of risks in production processes. The methodology proposes a novel way of combining statistical quality tools and the ISO 31000 standard for risk management. The validation was performed on a process of packaging of dairy products. The conclusions of this research show that the proposed methodological design is sufficiently flexible to be adapted to any type of manufacturing process that is desired to be monitored and improved.

This paper addresses the issue of risk management in relation to a specific type of library, the university library. A bibliographic review is carried out from different fields and connects it with the reality of this kind of institutions. Also, an analysis of the interviews with the libraries' directors of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina, is presented. These interviews included different axes such as policies and procedures, the interest of the authorities about the topic, staff and users training, measures adopted, risk factors, among others. The results show that although some specific implementations have been developed in this sense, there is still a pending account in issues related to the implementation of risk management in Universidad Nacional de La Plata university libraries.

Risk management is a central concept for human development. Dwelling on the Chilean experience, this article examines the discursive elaboration of risk by relevant social agents, with the aim of establishing whether risk and models of (human) development are explicitly linked. Methodology: the paper is based on in-depth, qualitative interviews and discourse analysis as analytic approach. Results: The discourses are characterized by a non-politization of matters related to risk; that is, these appear mainly from the viewpoint of their consequences for human population, but their origins in human decisions. Conclusions: Risk, especially the type originated in human activity, is often stripped away of its political dimension, making difficult an effective risk management that could be centered in long-term human well-being.

This paper focuses on the concept "whole of government" which is kind of a critical category for the so called "second generation" reforms inspired by the transformations proposed by the New Public Management. In this article there is an exposition of this new concept, trying to address it through a structural and cultural analysis. In this way, we analyze the effects of some of the reforms implemented through this framework stressing several of the critical limitations of it: accountability, risk management, work division and specialization. This paper is basically conceptual and exploratory, but it used the empirical observations of the effects of these reforms in Australia, New Zealand, UK and Canada. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Today organization faces a context of uncertainly and risk, just like socie-ties, that rises levels of complexity and dynamism never seen before. In this constantly changing reality, formless, liquid, the traditional models of leadership, attributes to a single person, are not adequate to respond to pre-vailing enterprise, that's characterized for constant environmental change, and managing change, all this make necessary transform traditional models of leadership to liquid, and make this respond to the new complex systemic logics in organizational area; a new model of leadership is the objective of this paper. In this task, we will check over leadership traditional models from final 20 century, and initial proposal of early 21 century, trying to generate a most functional response to actual organizational reality. The result is a conceptual leadership model based in changing and mix action, make possible by different actors and moments, in alternate moments, but also jointed, in a new social space organizational, transdisciplinary based, making liquid the inside organization, responding in a better way to li-quid, uncertainly, risked environment. Liquid leadership, is both a proposal and an answer to complementary requirements of actual organizations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, the software outsourcing (SO) strategy for organizations has become a useful and important alternative, as well as SO projects. SO projects have many complexities due to several factors affecting management. These complexities and importance of SO require that successfull projects meet a parameter set: budget, cost, schedule, among others. This requirement can be met through the implementation of methods and techniques of risk management (RM). RM is a process to prevent problems, establish actions to follow, and monitor the project to ensure success. Likewise, it is considered a key process in making decisions about risks. In this paper, we present a proposal for the risks identification related to software outsourcing process. Risk identification is the basic activity on which rests the success of RM process. Our proposal is a risk taxonomy of SO, consisting in a hierarchical classification structure based on the RM of SO projects. The taxonomy was validated in a study case: Project of pre-developed software acquisition. The results have been useful for the organization and for the refinement of the proposal, thanks to lessons learned. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents an explanatory regression model contrasting the existence of a direct relationship between the information concerning the social responsibility of Spanish financial entities with respect to their customers and their corporate reputation. The dependent variable of the model is an ordinal variable defined by its position in the MERCO ranking of the entities under study; the ordinal regression model is the methodology applied. The model we present constitutes a first approach to ascertain the importance that information on social responsibility has in managing corporate reputation. This aspect of management will gradually become just as important as knowledge or added value management is today. The results obtained show a direct relationship between the category of corporate reputation and the information about innovation and risk management communicated by the financial entities.

This paper is about developing a nonlinear model to predict the behavior of future exchange rate based on the opinion of the economic agents participating in the dollar/peso market. Such views are treated with Fuzzy Logic and a variant of it, known as the Theory of Forgotten Effects. The aim is to find a mechanism for making coverage decisions that allow us an optimal exchange rate risk management at a lower cost than that which involves operations with traditional hedging instruments. For the period of investigation and applying this model, the results support that the collective opinions of economic experts involved in the decision making risk management of exchange rate provide better results than those using traditional methods in the future markets.

Solvency II will transform the system of determining capital requirements of the insurer. The new regulatory framework proposes a standard model, but at the same time, it encourages the application of internal models of self-assessment and risk management. This paper aims to examine alternative models proposed in the literature for the measurement of insurerîs equity risk exposure. We have used monthly data series on the IBEX-35 in the period between January 1992 and December 2008. The calibrated models have allowed comparing the resulting capital requirements against the proposal of the fourth quantitative impact study (QIS4). The results show that capital requirements obtained by the better fit models are significantly greater than those of the standard model. This means that companies using the standard model or another based on similar assumptions underestimate significantly their exposure to equity risk. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Behavior-based safety management processes have more and more followers in the enterprise world; the main reason is the continued success proven by those well implemented and managed processes. Despite the known issue that each organization has unique characteristics due to the high number of variables that take part in their operation, and consequently, such processes design must "fit" the specific organization, the following questions can be formulated: which are the demonstrated necessary Good Practices for implementing and managing these processes?, which are the key aspects to be revealed because they increase the probabilities of achieving success?, how these processes can be integrated to the Occupational Health and Safety Management System for a synergetic contribution to the whole system?. This paper has the intention of clarifying these previous points. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Besides determining similarities, this research makes a comparison of each standard and model, prior selection and classification of them, according to the area it focuses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Urban infrastructure is essential for the development of modern societies: its assessment and risk-management must be undertaken within the framework of decisions of public-interest. The fact that infrastructure is made up of networks imposes the need for a systemic approach rather than one that emphasizes individual elements. This paper proposes a hierarchical description of infrastructure systems at different levels of resolution, allowing for effective risk-assessment through the use of simpliied representations of the network for the assessment of failure probability and consequences. Finally, the approach to risk-management is undertaken by means of theory of incentives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The organizations are more interested in the impact that can generate risk and in particular associated to IT. Every day it is possible to see that different business of sectors like: finance, governance, health, production, among others, they are reporting economical lost due to fails or attacks over theirs IT services, which can affect the reputation, relationships with the clients and their self financial and operational robustness. There are two fundamental pillars for the risk analysis: standards and norms and the other side the methodologies; with these pillars along is impossible to assure the results without the governability of this risk analysis. In this paper, we show what kind of standards and legal documents must be considered in a risk assessment process and after we are going to explain how is possible to use a methodology and how to connect this methodology with the IT governance process in a successful way.

The aim of this paper is to establish on what extent the most used country risk indexes, specifically, the Euromoney index and the ICRG, contain decisive variables in the triggering of external crises, as a basic aspect in evaluating it's ability to assess appropriately the risk of particular country. To this end, a sample of external crises for the period between 1994 and 2001 has been analysed, obtaining a set of variables that seem to be decisive and common to all episodes, and therefore, they should be included in an adequate country risk index Comparing these variables with those included in indexes mentioned above, it has been verified that not all of them have direct reflect in the development of both indexes and, consequently, they might show, a priori, significant limitations as ability to predict and assess the country risk.

Chamber risk of central counterpart have become one of the most important structural pillars of the financial markets in the world, both stand as a central counterparty for all transactions in capital markets and some OTC, establish schedules for operating the highly weighted Systems Robust Risk Management. This paper aims to outline the structure of this system, emphasizing on how to model the risk that these institutions take in pursuit of its objects. In this sense, the establishment of margins is established as a critical step and function of a schematic approach that integrates securities risk, stress scenarios, the most recent behavior of volatility, collateral formation, and the financial capacity of operators to settle its obligations on time. As a result, the margin / collateral, and limits on open positions is the end product of a Risk Management System to guarantee the integrity of the market. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
