4. Introduction
The term risk today has many different meaning. In financial circles however the
term risk has a definite and distinct meaning. Risk refers to the situation where
decision are based on the calculation of probabilities that certain outcomes will
materialize or where probabilities based on historical information and statistical
frequency distribution are known
5. Incorporation
• Incorporation is the forming of a new corporation
• The process of legally declaring a corporate entity as separate from its owners
• A corporation is a company or group of people authorized to act as a single
entity (legally a person) and recognized as such in law
6. Risk
• Risk is potential of losing something of valuable
• Risk is a consequence of action taken in spite of uncertainty
• The probability or threat of quantifiable damage, injury, liability, loss, or any
other negative occurrence that is caused by external or internal vulnerabilities,
and that may be avoided through preemptive action
7. Simulation
• The act or process of pretending
• The technique of representing the real world by a computer program
• The act of giving a false appearance
• An attempt to model a real-life or hypothetical situation on a computer so that it
can be studied to see how the system works
8. Risk and Simulation
• Simulation allows you to evaluate, compare and optimize alternatives designs,
plans and policies through visualization
• The act of simulating the probabilistic data into statistical form
• Simulation is used when the level of uncertainty is high and the alternatives are
not quite feasible and taking any action will cause the heavy damages
• The complexity of the uncertainties requires the visualization of future
consequences
9. Example 1
A fisheries biologist could dynamically simulate the salmon population in a river in
order to predict changes to the population and quantitatively understand the
impacts on salmon of possible action (e.g. fishing, loss of habitat)to ensure that
they don't go extinct at some point in the future
10. Example 2
• When implementing a strategic plan for a company the impacts are likely to take
months (or years) to materialize. Simulation is particularly valuable when there
is significant uncertainty regarding the outcome or consequences of a particular
alternative under consideration. Probabilistic simulation allows dealing with this
uncertainty in a quantifiable way
11. Example 3
• The newsvendor problem is one in which a retailer for instance needs to
purchase some quantity of an item prior to demand being known. If too few are
ordered must be heavily discounted. This fundamental problem commonly
occurs in retailing such as when a store needs to order seasonal or perishable
merchandise. However it also exists for manufacturers of products that decline
in value after they are produced. For example, in the fast changing electronics
industry, if a company commits to manufacturing too many handled computers it
will be left with product that is worth only a fraction of what is was worth when
produced. Even transpiration services such as airlines face a form of this
problem since airlines must decide ahead of time how frequently to fly a give
route and which type of aircraft to use.
12. Risk in Decision Making
• The unpredictable consequence as a result of taking decision
• Decision making requires an understanding of the requirements and objectives,
their relative importance, and how to assess options and make the 'best'
decision
• For a successful decision making, understanding the level of risk and its
consequence is needed to select the best possible solution

14. Monte Carlo Simulation
• Monte Carlo methods are quite useful for simulating systems with many coupled
degrees of freedom
• Monte Carlo methods can be used to solve any problem having a probabilistic
interpretation
• Monte Carlo simulation uses repeated sampling to determine the properties of
some phenomenon (or behavior).
• Monte Carlo simulations sample are taken from a probability distribution for
each variable to produce hundreds or thousands of possible outcomes
• Monte Carlo methods are especially useful for simulating phenomena with
significant uncertainty in inputs and systems with a large number of coupled
degrees of freedom
15. Problem
Consider a firm that has three unrelated product lines and needs to forecast its
total net profit for the coming year. Uncertainty exists in the revenue and cost
structures of each product; however, the three divisional managers have
assessed their profit distributions as shown in table. These profit distributions are
assumed to be
Table: Profit Distributions for three products
Product 1 Product 2 Product 3
Profit Probability Profit Probability Profit Probability
800000 01
75000 0.2 850000 0.3 500000 0.5
125000 0.5 990000 0.5 550000 0.5
175000 0.3 950000 0.1
∑=1 ∑=1 ∑=1
22. Conclusion
Use of the simulations can be helpful in solving complex decisions but they are
very expensive and need additional training to use them. Selecting the simulation
is also the a big problem because they are not made for the short term decisions .
Monte Carlo decision model is helpful very much and mostly it has been used
because it provides us an accurate results
