This master’s thesis deals with choice and IS implementation problematics in the company with using project management methods. The thesis is divided into three parts.

The last part deals with concrete project design.

This work focuses on risk management in a company that develops its activities through online marketing. Review of literature defines important terms that correspond to a given topic. Mostly we speak of identification, analysis methods and subsequent elimination of the impact of risks. In the analytical part are identified all possible risks for the company, which was established through external and internal environment of the company. Using lessons learned from the practical part contains recommendations on the elimination of risk.

The thesis is focused on field of risk management especially on issues in occupational safety and health (OSH). A thorough analysis of the current state mapping the OSH area from legislation and possibilities for application of the system approach and the various methods for identifying, analyzing and evaluation of occupational risks point of view. Selected methods are applied on the model of real enterprise, when after the risks evaluation was recommended appropriate measures to eliminate them. The chosen measures and the procedure implementation’s, was designed with regard to their applicability and effectiveness with the possibility of future modifications according to company development.

The master´s thesis analyses the current state of risk management of the production process. The theoretical part describes the risk management process, selected tools and methodologies for the identification, analysis and assessment. The practical part of the thesis provides a methodology for auditing risk management. One of the goals is to verify applicability of the audit in manufacturing organization. Practical understanding of the risk management process and identification of potential operational risks in the risk areas are analysed using FMEA method.

In the Master’s thesis I am deal with the proposal of sophisticated method for suppliers rating. The thesis analyses the supply environment of business company and characterizes the problems related to suppliers rating and choosing. The object of my Master’s thesis is the elaboration of the models for suppliers rating on the basis of fuzzy logic. These models should successfully solve the questions of suppliers rating as suitable method for minimizing of risk of suppliers.

Thesis (MSc)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: We consider the problem of portfolio's asset allocation characterised by risk and return. Prior to the 2007-2008 financial crisis, this important problem was tackled using mainly the Markowitz mean-variance framework. However, throughout the past decade of challenging markets, particularly for equities, this framework has exhibited multiple drawbacks. Today many investors approach this problem with a 'safety first' rule that puts risk management at the heart of decision-making. Risk-based strategies have gained a lot of popularity since the recent financial crisis. One of the 'trendiest' of the modern risk-based strategies is the Risk Parity model, which puts diversification in terms of risk, but not in terms of dollar values, at the core of portfolio risk management. Inspired by the works of Maillard et al. (2010), Bruder and Roncalli (2012), and Roncalli and Weisang (2012), we examine the reliability and relationship between the traditional mean-variance framework and risk parity. We emphasise, through multiple examples, the non-diversification of the traditional mean-variance framework. The central focus of this thesis is on examining the main Risk-Parity strategies, i.e. the Inverse Volatility, Equal Risk Contribution and the Risk Budgeting strategies. Lastly, we turn our attention to the problem of maximizing the absolute expected value of the logarithmic portfolio wealth (sometimes called the drift term) introduced by Oderda (2013). The drift term of the portfolio is given by the sum of the expected price logarithmic growth rate, the expected cash flow, and half of its variance. The solution to this problem is a linear combination of three famous risk-based strategies and the high cash flow return portfolio. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Ons kyk na die probleem van batetoewysing in portefeuljes wat gekenmerk word deur risiko en wins. Voor die 2007-2008 finansiele krisis, was hierdie belangrike probleem deur die Markowitz gemiddelde-variansie raamwerk aangepak. Gedurende die afgelope dekade van uitdagende markte, veral vir aandele, het hierdie raamwerk verskeie nadele getoon. Vandag, benader baie beleggers hierdie probleem met 'n 'veiligheid eerste' reël wat risikobestuur in die hart van besluitneming plaas. Risiko-gebaseerde strategieë het baie gewild geword sedert die onlangse finansiële krisis. Een van die gewildste van die moderne risiko-gebaseerde strategieë is die Risiko- Gelykheid model wat diversifikasie in die hart van portefeulje risiko bestuur plaas. Geïnspireer deur die werke van Maillard et al. (2010), Bruder and Roncalli (2012), en Roncalli and Weisang (2012), ondersoek ons die betroubaarheid en verhouding tussen die tradisionele gemiddelde-variansie raamwerk en Risiko- Gelykheid. Ons beklemtoon, deur middel van verskeie voorbeelde, die niediversifikasie van die tradisionele gemiddelde-variansie raamwerk. Die sentrale fokus van hierdie tesis is op die behandeling van Risiko-Gelykheid strategieë, naamlik, die Omgekeerde Volatiliteit, Gelyke Risiko-Bydrae en Risiko Begroting strategieë. Ten slotte, fokus ons aandag op die probleem van maksimering van absolute verwagte waarde van die logaritmiese portefeulje welvaart (soms genoem die drif term) bekendgestel deur Oderda (2013). Die drif term van die portefeulje word gegee deur die som van die verwagte prys logaritmiese groeikoers, die verwagte kontantvloei, en die helfte van die variansie. Die oplossing vir hierdie probleem is 'n lineêre kombinasie van drie bekende risiko-gebaseerde strategieë en die hoë kontantvloei wins portefeulje.

This thesis studies the Chinese banks’ credit risk assessment using the Post Keynesian approach. We argue that bank loans are the major financial sources in emerging economies and it is uncertainty, an unquantifiable risk, rather than asymmetric information about quantifiable risk, as held by the mainstream approach, which is most important for the risk attached to credit loans, and this uncertainty is particularly important in China. With the universal existence of uncertainty, borrowers and lenders have to make decisions based on convention and experience. With regard to the nature of decision-making, this implies the importance of qualitative methods rather than quantitative methods. The current striking problem in Chinese banking is the large amount of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) and this research aims to address the NPLs through improving credit risk management. Rather than the previous literature where Western models are introduced into China directly or with minor modification, this work advocates building on China’s conventional domestic methods to deal with uncertainty. We briefly review the background of the Chinese banking history with an evolutionary view and examine Chinese conventions in the development of the credit market. Based on an overview of this history, it is argued that Soft Budget Constraints (SBC) and the underdeveloped risk-assessing mechanism contributed to the accumulation of NPLs. Informed by Western models and experience, we have made several suggestions about rebuilding the Chinese convention of credit risk assessment, based on an analysis of publications and interviews with Chinese bankers. We also suggest some further development of the Asset Management Companies (AMCs) which are used to dispose of the NPLs.
