解説
問 42
- ア
正解 Risk “mitigation” means a response strategy that reduces the probability of a risk occurring or its impact when it occurs. Option “ア” has Company A analyze the causes of past delivery delays and incorporate the resulting preventive measures into this development plan, thereby trying to lower the probability that a delivery delay occurs. It leaves the risk source (outsourcing to Company A) in place while reducing the likelihood of occurrence, so it corresponds to “mitigation”.
Incorrectイ
Cancelling the outsourcing to Company A removes the very risk factor of delivery delay. This is “avoidance”, which cuts off the source of the risk, not “mitigation”.
Incorrectウ
A contract under which Company A pays liquidated damages for delay makes Company A (a third party) bear the loss caused by the delay. This is “transfer”, which shifts the damage to another party, not “mitigation”.
Incorrectエ
Allocating the cost of countermeasures in the project budget in advance is a preparation to bear the loss oneself on the premise that a delivery delay will occur. This is “acceptance”, which takes the risk on as it is, not “mitigation”.
ここがポイント
- The four categories of risk response: avoidance (remove the risk source), mitigation (reduce the probability or impact), acceptance (accept the risk and prepare for it), and transfer (shift the loss to a third party).
- “Mitigation” is a measure that lowers the probability and impact while leaving the risk in place. Incorporating preventive measures based on cause analysis into the plan is a typical example.
