Question 1

The following questions are intended to guide discussion about Blue Wood and how such a

company can face up to and deal with issues of risk management throughout the enterprise.

The questions are not necessarily exhaustive for the case and it is intended that examination

and discussion can be developed further if desired.

Discussion can center on the importance of culture within an organization, how to

change it, how to set priorities, how much is possible and how fast, as well as the related

costs and benefits.

1. What are the prospects and consequences for Blue Wood if it carries on the way it has

been?

2. Are corporate objectives and strategy important and if so, why?

3. Discuss why and how either an FRM (financial risk management) or an ERM framework

might benefit a company like Blue Wood.

4. What are the main challenges in developing and implementing a risk management

framework for Blue Wood? How does the ownership structure affect these challenges?

5. If the company is to develop a risk management framework, who should lead the process?

Should a Chief Risk Officer (CRO) be appointed? If so, to whom should he/she

report and have access to? How could smaller companies without the resources for a

dedicated CRO deal with ERM? What is the role for the board in such a process?

6. Should Blue Wood hedge its exposures to commodities and foreign currencies? If so,

how should it go about hedging; for example, in terms of:

managing, monitoring, and evaluating the hedging program

amounts hedged

time horizon of the hedges

instruments used

budget for option premiums

accounting and reporting the hedging program

7. Are there other areas where Blue Wood should consider a risk management program?
