Thesis (MTech. degree in Business Information Systems)-- Tshwane University of Technology 2011. / This research aimed to investigate and understand risks and risk management system and how risk management system was deployed in organisations. In order to achieve this, it was necessary to understand what risk is and also what risk management was. It was also necessary to understand the role information systems played in the deployment of risk management systems. The data gathered from the interview was analysed with structuration theory. Structuration theory enabled the researcher to have a clearer view of the problems in the organisations as it borders around risks. The analyses lead to some findings. Structuration theory played the role of a lens through which the problem was viewed. The findings were then used to develop a framework. It was intended that after this study the framework developed will be used for risk management in organisations. It was also intended that adoption of this framework for use in organisations will reduce the amount of resources wasted on management of risks which could have been spent on other things that are much more useful to the organisations.
