progress – to oversee the quality of the internal and external auditing – to present the conclusions on the approval of the Financial Statements to the Board of Directors – to review certain reports regarding internal controls and the Group’s annual risk assessment. The Audit Committee regularly reports to the Board on its findings and proposes appropriate actions. The responsibility for approving the annual Financial Statements remains with the Board of Directors. 3.5.3 Work methods of the Board of Directors

fluctuations in their external and internal environments. Firms with planning systems more closely resembling strategic management theory generally exhibit superior long-term financial performance relative to their industry. Of course, assessments of strategic management should also consider other important outcomes, such as the satisfaction of various organizational stakeholders and the extent to which the organization adequately deals with relevant factors in the environment. 2.4 Strategic

civile. Enfin, l’avis scientifique ne peut être que consultatif, et ne doit donc pas lier (moralement ou juridiquement) les politiques publiques à ses conclusions. Il est en effet très important de séparer l’évaluation des risques (risk assessment) et leur gestion (risk management). En France, une série d’agences spécialisées dans l’évaluation du risque sont apparues depuis la fin des années 1990. C’est le cas de l’Agence Française de Sécurité Sanitaire des Aliments (AFSSA, 1998), celle de l’environnement

to everyone. The increasing demand makes the prices lower and lower. The proliferation and accessibility of those “ready-to-use” tools are responsible of such an explosion of the cybercrime. In conditions where the lure of money is higher than the risk, we better understand the insistence with which those cyber-pirates want more than everything access to our personal data. Cyber criminality is now very similar to physical organized criminality. Thus, the more traditional organized physical criminality

In otherwords, to combatnew or reemergingurban diseases, plannerswill not be able to rely on local knowledge and simple curative technologies but will have to modify local concepts of risk sharply, as well as local services and infrastructure. Clearly, the model adoptedin applied medical in anthropology the past decade, which based programson the existing felt needs of communities,will no longer apply to these new conditions. We shall

Clearly thinking in patterns and fixed cultural schemata have the advantage to reduce the complexity but the risk that individuals behave individual in a specific context and in a specific situation seemed to be unbearable high. Categorization and thinking in cultural differences stands therefore in sharp contrast to the principle task of cross cultural management

Ils en ont identifié six majeurs, 4 attachés directement à la stratégie et deux à l’exécution : « search risk, planning risk, scope risk, business model risk, organizationel risk and management risk ». Ils les analysent un par un et préconisent que comme dans les océans rouges, la systématique et l’applicabilité doivent diriger la réflexion stratégique.

moneylender in his lending activity faces many risks among which is that of non repayment. This risk is more of a concern for the moneylender just like for a small finance company when its borrowers operates in an important environment such as the Cameroonian small size entrepreneurship. Thus, small finance house officials with regards to lending to small contractors, and in order to reduce this risk, require that such contractors in the day-to-day running of their companies should stress on a sound
