MGMT 311 Week 6 DQAfer reading this weeks material, answer the Following quesons in the orum (In 250 words or more): The arcle above presents 1 example oF a company using risk management. All successFul companies perForm similar tasks regularly. This week, I would like you to present another company and describe at least 1 way that they are managing their risks.
