Risk Analysis Tools Applied to Business
Budget: $10 – $30 USD
Scenario, Sensitivity, and Simulation Written Assignment (LO3) (LO4) - 50 points
The purpose of this assignment is to introduce you to three key risk analysis tools—scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, and simulation modeling. By applying them to a real company, you'll learn how businesses assess uncertainty, test assumptions, and make more informed strategic decisions.
Business leaders rarely have the luxury of certainty.
The best decisions often come down to asking: "What could happen?" and "How would that affect us?"
In this assignment, you'll dive into three powerful tools that help answer those questions: Scenario analysis, sensitivity analysis, and simulation modeling.
Choose a real company—either the one you analyzed in Week 2, or a different company that interests you—and explore the risks it faces using these three techniques.
Define the concept in your own words
Explain how it helps businesses assess risk
Create or describe a specific example of how this tool could be applied to your chosen company
What decisions might it support?
What assumptions are involved?
What kind of outcome might it reveal?
