Environmental Analysis as a Part of the Context in the Risk Management Process

Abstract

Safety and security are the most significant factors in human life. Accordingly, achieving the required level of safety and security needs steps to keep an acceptable level and fully manage and support it with appropriate activities. Securing both domains requires implementing a risk management process that will be effective and have the desired results. The whole issue is closely related to the critical context, which is the source of essential information regarding the risk management process, and which is related to the environment, processes, and stakeholders. This paper deals with determining the first part of the context analysis – environmental analysis. Techniques (PESTLE and SWOT analysis) are proposed for optimal analysis in the paper, and the analysis is subsequently carried out on the example of air transport in Slovakia. The article provides a fundamental overview of environmental analysis and is suitable for further research.
