Risk can be defined as the exposition to a potential danger of a situation or a particular activity. It can be said that all activities are linked to risk more or less important. Another general definition says that a risk is "a probability or threat of a damage, injury, liability, loss, or other negative occurrence that is caused by external or internal vulnerabilities, and that may be neutralized through pre-emptive action" .
Thus, in order to have higher chance of success, it is important to be prepared to a risk and to put in place methods to guard against risks.
Modern society highlights this need to be prepared by institutionalizing and by communicating on how to reach risk management and how to protect a project, a business.
Entrepreneurs due to an increasing internationalisation and worldwide competition are more and more faced with risks. As a mission, entrepreneurs have to develop the company's business and at least to ensure the company sustainability.
