Risk Management

Risk is an ever-present factor in each endeavour, within and without the business arena. In exchange for taking risks, businesses gain financial rewards. However, not all risks are to be taken recklessly. A smart entrepreneur only takes calculated risks – those within his or his team’s management capacity.

Taking the risk

The risks that retailers face every day have to do with loss and security. There is the term coined as “inventory shrinkage,” simply shrinkage or shrink, which pertains to the loss of products between manufacturer and point-of-sale. The most common retailer risks include shoplifting, robbery, supply scam or employee theft, return fraud, and administrative error. Retailers and business establishments have installed security alarms, electronic locks, surveillance cameras, and other safety measures to prevent theft and robbery. They also employ armed guards and spies. Meanwhile, fraud, administrative error, and scam may only be spotted by thorough investigation.
