**Firm and Risk Profile**

In this section,

– Identify a real firm (or construct a realistic hypothetical firm),
– Describe its main lines of business, markets, and revenue sources.
– Explain the key types of risk the firm faces (for example, demand risk, input price risk, regulatory/political risk, exchange rate risk, or competitive/strategic risk), using concepts from the decision-making under uncertainty chapter.

**Quantitative Risk Assessment**

In this section,

– Describe how you would use data and simple quantitative tools (such as historical variability, scenario analysis, or regression/forecasting ideas from Chapter 3) to measure the firm’s exposure to at least two of these risks.
– Discuss what the size and nature of these risks imply for the firm’s profit volatility and long‑run sustainability.

**Diversification and Strategy Design**

In this section,

– Propose at least two diversification strategies the firm could pursue (for example, product diversification, geographic diversification, supplier diversification, or customer-base diversification).
– Explain how each strategy would reduce or reshape its risk exposure.
– Connect each proposed strategy to ideas from market structure, global business, or game theory (such as entering new markets, changing competitive positioning, or altering bargaining power with suppliers or buyers).

**Ethical and Managerial Implications**

In this section,

– Evaluate the ethical and stakeholder implications of your diversification plan:
– who is better off
– who might be worse off
– how managers should weigh these trade‑offs when making risk‑management decisions
– Conclude by explaining how your analysis illustrates the role of managerial economics in integrating risk assessment, diversification, and ethical responsibility in real-world strategic decision making.
