Overview

In your role as a business development manager involved in preparing an exit strategy for the life science organiza�on, you learned

that employee a�ri�on is one of the key risks to the proposed acquisi�on. In Milestone Two, you analyzed the employee data to

evaluate this a�ri�on risk and suggest reten�on strategies to mi�gate it. Later, as you began preparing for the exit, the organiza�on

faced another challenge—the possibility of the buyer withdrawing from the sale. To mi�gate this risk, you searched and planned for

alterna�ve buyers.

Management now wants to be more cau�ous about such risks. To avoid more unforeseen challenges in the process, the vice

president (VP) wants you to iden�fy and assess other current or poten�al risks the organiza�on may face due to the proposed

acquisi�on and recommend strategies to mi�gate them.

In this assignment, you will perform a risk assessment using the fishbone method you learned about in this module.

Prompt

Write a report for the VP with risk assessment and mi�ga�on recommenda�ons for the organiza�on in the scenario and its exit

strategy.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

1. Risk Iden�fica�on: Apply the fishbone method to analyze two other risks or problems the organiza�on is facing. Your

response should include the following:

a. Iden�fy two risks or problems to be resolved and create a fishbone diagram for each. Refer to the fishbone diagram

template for help. Insert a screenshot or copy your fishbone diagram to your report.

b. Iden�fy one main cause and ancillary causes for each risk or problem.

2. Risk Evalua�on:

a. Evaluate the probability and impact of each iden�fied risk or problem as low, medium, or high.

b. Jus�fy your evalua�on of the impact and probability of each iden�fied risk or problem. Provide ra�onale with

suppor�ng data.

3. Risk Mi�ga�on: Recommend one way to mi�gate each iden�fied risk or problem. Support your response.

Guidelines for Submission

Submit a 2- to 4-page Word document using double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Sources

should be cited according to APA style. Consult the Shapiro Library APA Style Guide for more informa�on on cita�ons.
