may i ask if natural hazards or calamities are considered part of external risks
Assign topic to the user
Natural hazards or calamities may be external issues that can translate into risks or opportunities. For example, a manufacturing company located near a flooding area may lose the capability to operate normally for several weeks. A hurricane can weaken a competitor and create an opportunity to expand activity. Today, I read in a newspaper that the coronavirus pandemic lockdowns worked as a boon for software game companies. It is up to each organization to determine the relevant issues from its context.
