Risk management is an important element of product design. It helps to minimize the project- and product-related risks such as project budget and schedule overrun, or missing product cost and quality targets. Risk management is especially important for complex, international product design projects that involve a high degree of novel technology. This paper reviews the literature on risk management in product design. It examines the newly released international standard ISO 31000 “Risk management — Principles and guidelines” and explores its applicability to product design. The new standard consists of the seven process steps communication and consultation; establishing the context; risk identification; risk analysis; risk evaluation; risk treatment; and monitoring and review. A literature review reveals, among other findings, that the general ISO 31000 process model seems applicable to risk management in product design; the literature addresses different process elements to varying degrees, but none fully according to ISO recommendations; and that the integration of product design risk management with risk management of other disciplines, or between project and portfolio level in product design, is not well developed.

Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is an effective technique in managing risk within an organization strategically and holistically. Risk culture relates to the general awareness, attitudes and behaviours towards risk management in an organisation. This paper presents a conceptual model that shows the relationship between risk culture and ERM implementation. The dependent variable is ERM implementation, which is measured by the four processes namely risk identification and risk assessment; risk treatment; monitor and consult; communicate and consult. The independent variables under risk culture are risk policy and risk appetite; key risk indicators; accountability; incentives; risk language and internal relationships. This study aims to empirically test the relationship between risk culture and ERM implementation among Malaysian construction public listed companies. Risk culture is expected to have direct effects and significantly influence ERM. This study contributes to enhance the body of knowledge in ERM especially in understanding significant of risk culture that influence its’ implementation from Malaysian perspective.

PurposeThis article aims to gain insights on the current state of small- and medium-sized enterprises’ (SMEs’) cyber risk management process and to derive future research directions.Design/methodology/approachThis is done by collecting market insights from 37 recent industry surveys and structuring them based on the steps of the risk management process. From this analysis, major challenges are derived and future fields of research identified.FindingsThe results indicate that deficiencies in risk culture as well as the strained market for IT experts are the major obstacles with respect to the implementation of cyber risk management in SMEs, and that these challenges are similar across countries. The findings suggest that especially the relationship between cyber security culture and cyber risk management should be investigated further, and that a stronger link between the research streams on enterprise risk management and cyber risk management would be desirable.Originality/valueThis paper contributes to the literature by providing a systematic overview on the current state of SMEs' cyber risk management from a market perspective. The findings provide support for the existing academic literature by emphasizing the central role of cyber security culture (perception, knowledge, attitude) for a successful cyber risk management, which however should be addressed in more depth in future (empirical) research.

A review of the literature on adaptation to bereavement during the COVID-19 pandemic was conducted to assess the current state of knowledge. Scopus, Web of Science and Google Scholar databases were searched for studies published during the first 6 months of the COVID-19 outbreak. 44 articles were included in the review. Narrative synthesis showed that knowledge was largely based on expert assessments of prior bereavement research and professional experience; there is so far absence of empirical evidence linking features of COVID-19 bereavement situations to health outcomes. Severe negative consequences have been consistently predicted by authors. There is still relatively little consideration of positive or compensatory processes or the possibility that these could alleviate the effect of the shocking, traumatic circumstances. With two notable exceptions, there has been lack of attention to the role of theoretical models for guiding research and practice. A theoretical perspective (the Dual Process Model, DPM) was applied to the information derived from the available articles. Two features of the DPM framework illustrated its relevance: 1. It enables systematic assessment of the range of loss- and restoration-related challenges for the bereaved; 2. It speaks for extension of psychotherapeutic intervention to manage secondary, restoration- as well as primary, loss-oriented stressors; studies have demonstrated that this may increase the effectiveness of intervention. Directions for future research and DPM application are suggested.

This chapter is intended to deal with the topic of standardization as a solution for risk control and decision making, mainly in high technologized context. For that purpose, this document starts introducing the reason of controlling risk as well as the uncertainty background that lays in different sectors. After that, the risk management evolution is outlined, defining briefly the risk concept, mentioning some current management models and enumerating the more relevant norms, standards, and guidelines for risk management. From this point, an overview on the standard ISO 31000 about risk management is provided in order to finally summarize some possible future research lines and some conclusions about this groundwork on risk and uncertainty.

Surabaya Main Naval Base V Repair and Maintenance Facility is one of the work units under the auspices of the Indonesian Navy that is tasked with carrying out the maintenance and repair of all major weapons systems of the Indonesian Navy. In carrying out their duties Surabaya Main Naval Base V Repair and Maintenance Facility has a big challenge and even there are various kinds of risks to prepare all the Indonesian Armed Forces defense equipment in accordance with the demands of need. Therefore, in this research, risk management will be carried out at the Surabaya Main Naval Base V Repair and Maintenance Facility Operational based on the ISO 31000: 2018 framework. Based on this framework, risk management will be carried out, namely how to carry out risk assessments in the form of risk identification, risk analysis, and risk evaluation for all risks in the operational field. Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) is also used to carry out in-depth risk management processes. One method used to solve existing problems is to use the House of Risk (HOR) method, which is divided into two stages. Stage 1 HOR focuses on ranking the Aggregate Risk Potential (ARP) value and with the help of the Pareto diagram the cumulative ARP value is obtained to determine the risk event (risk agent) selected, which then requires treatment on a priority scale. The results of this HOR phase 1 are then included in HOR phase 2 to rank the most effective prevention measures based on costs and resources. From the results of the HOR phase 2, further brainstorming was carried out with the Surabaya Main Naval Base V Repair and Maintenance Facility in accordance with the actions chosen for preventive actions that could be immediately carried out.Keywords: House of Risk, Enterprise Risk Management, SNI ISO 31000: 2018.

Designing products for multiple global user populations has been the focus of numerous studies. Based on an understanding of the current state of knowledge, this paper outlines three broad top-down design strategies to satisfy varying user, business, and regulatory requirements across target markets, and to do so in a resource-efficient manner. The first strategy results in a set of optimal, robust, or reconfigurable designs for the markets. The second strategy is the development of a static platform-based design, with variants of the product for the different target markets. In the third strategy, flexibility is embedded into a platform itself; the manufacturer can then release the product in a few target markets, and can leverage the platform at later stages when entering additional markets or adapting to changing requirements. The implementation of the proposed strategies is explored in the context of three different products: (1) the Adidas Jabulani soccer ball, (2) left- and right- hand drive vehicles, and (3) the Apple suite of mobile and tablet devices. The observations in these case studies highlight the importance of the three global product design strategies, and help define certain questions for future research.
