customers some shoes from my store for their buying. Also housewifes can choose some
shoes from my store with my designers. Also they will want to come to store for seeing these
people after that they will buy.

8. Risk Analysis
8.1 Human Resource Risk
I will have to Professional human resources so if I have any problem with my customers they
will solve this problem. Also my company will adopt “the customer is always right” policy.
This policy very useful for understand the customers and for solve the problems very easily.
The result will be good and I will take my customers because they will be glad from my
policy and from my friendly services about problem.
8.2. Production Risk

any problem with my product. Also I will have every precaution in my factory for my workers

friendly for my workers so we will understand each other, we will not have problem, we will
not have stress and we will be happy and healty.
8.3. Demographic Risk
I will produce for between 20-50 ages women. Also Turkey has a lot of young people for
being my customers. Also According my quality and my price will be suitable for people and
according my guessing I will take 1.000.000 women from shoe market after my first year. I
will not have problem with demographic. Because my country every time has customers for
buying shoes specialy women.
8.4. Environmental Risk
I will not have any environmental problem.Because my factory will be outside city and my
store will be in the biggest and famous shopping centers and my factory will have every
precaution for protect to natüre. Becase my company will adopt to “protect our future” policy.
I will not have problem with some association or sendika about environmental. Also I will
have some campaigne for protect the nature.
8.5. Economic Risk
I will not have so much problem with economy. Because women do not care the crises and
they are continue to buying, specialy to buying shoes. The buying shoe like therapy for some
women. If they have stress or if they have some problems they are buying somethings,
specialy shoes. This is my big advantage.
8.6. Geographic Risk
This risk almost same with environmental risk so I will have every precaution for nature and
for being succesful. Because I like to nature so I will protect it and I want to be succesfull and
I will choose the biggest and famous shopping centers for openning my store. The result will
be good for me because I will have everything for being succesfull.
8.7. Market Risk
I will have strong competitors but My differences is producing different kind of shoes with
different way and services. Also I will work with some famous designers for shoes and
slothes so they will help me for being succesfull. They will keep the fashion for me and they
will give me report and I will produce. My customers will prefer me for buyşng these
different shoes and for seeing my perfect services and for seeing my designers.
8.8. Price Risk
My prices will be little expensive but my customers can pay my price because they will have
job, or they will have reach husband. Because my customers will have higher position in
economic life. Also according my services for my customers and according my higher quality
shoes they will prefer pay. They will compare to my company and the others and they will
prefer me. Because I will do everything for influence my customers.
8.9. Technological Risk
The tecnology is not risk for me also it will help me for taking more customers. Also I will
have good website for introduce my company and tecnology will help me for produce and for
selling.
8.10. Financial Risk
My government is supporting to enterpreneurs and they are giving Money for two years and
you do not have to pay anything during this two years. After this two years you will start to
pay slowly but if you need more time they will give you just you should be trust enterpreneur
and you should be succesful. So When I am with my government I do not have any financial
risks.
8.11. Family Risk
My family every time supports me about every subjects so this is not risk for me.
Total Risks Assessment
Generaly I do not have big risks. My competitors only big risk for me but I will overcome this
problem with my famous and succesful designers, with my succesful advertising company
and with my helpfully supporter government. Also my workers will be profeesional for
