A risk management is very important; it enables company to react in early stage of change in environment and avoiding possible crises. Risk management is a factor of business performance. In order to prove the existence of a relationship between Risk management effectiveness and company performance we defined a Risk management index (RMI) and compare it with three company performance indicators. RMI is determined by ten factors that could be grouped into four categories: risk management system, institutional, instrumental and functional aspect of risk management. The Thesis is: there is a correlation between the existence of an effective risk management system in place and company performance. We used three performance indicators: Return on fixed asset, Return on sale and Operating profit margin to measure the company performance. Results of empirical research shows positive Pearson factor of correlation between RMI and company performance indicators and that the Thesis was proven to be true.
Electrical power companies are operating today in a turbulent environment characterized by changes in energy regulatory policies, opening of the electricity markets, competition and a subsequent loss of market share, increased customer demand, increased expectations from stakeholders; price volatility of electricity, fuel and CO2 emissions; difficulties in securing fuel supply routes, difficulties in securing transmission facilities at acceptable prices and other factors. An effective risk management system can permit an enterprise to recognize opportunities and react to change at the right time, i.e. to protect and increase the company value. In this paper, a hypothesis is presented that there is a correlation between the effectiveness of a risk management system and market competitive intensity, MCI. For the purpose of testing this hypothesis, an index has been developed to measure the effectiveness of a risk management system. The results of research conducted on a sample of twenty—one electrical power companies operating both inside and outside the countries of the European Union confirm this hypothesis.
