Problem:
Perform a limited scope risk assessment of A T & T, the telecommunications giant. Gather relevant intelligence on the company, such as the latest press releases, articles, and SEC 10K filings. Identify five shared risk exposures in A T & T's:
- Traditional land-line communications business.
- Wireless communications business.
- Acquisition activities.
- Also identify five non-shared risks for each of these three business areas.
Develop management strategies for the five shared exposures at a corporate level and business unit strategies for the non-shared exposures. Based on available information, determine whether all could be handled viably and more effectively at the corporate level, or if management of these non-shared potential exposures is better managed in a decentralized way.
