Literature Review

The research undertaken in the area of risk has been criticized for its methodological pitfall. The question is, should one take an individual or group as unit of analysis for exploring the inquiry pertaining to risk? Risk needs to be defined equally from probability/ expected values and from perspective of events/ uncertainties/consequences (Aven & Renn 2009). Risk needs to be understood from perspectives of a firm. Correct risk prediction needs to be appreciated and understood for its true threat level so that response is effective. Erroneous risk practices may result in more serious issues such as uncontrolled risk aggregation and may have serious cost implications (Sunstein, 2002). Exposure to risks results in financial difficulties which impacts the business strategy. Researchers are looking at Sociology of risks (Korstanje, 2010, 2011a)
