Apple Inc. encounters a variety of risks in many areas of its business, spanning from operational to strategic. When analyzing a particular project at Apple Inc., such as creating and introducing a
new product or service, several risks may emerge that could have good or negative impacts.
A quantitative risk analysis entails evaluating each risk's potential consequences and probability and giving numerical values to these variables. For example, considering the risks previously identified, we will perform a quantitative Risk Analysis of the following risks - supply chain, intense competition, and regulatory and legal challenges - let's break down the analysis:
Supply chain risk:
Impact:
In launching a new iPhone, this risk might significantly affect the project if interruptions in the supply chain result in delays or scarcities of essential supplies. It can potentially impact production schedules, escalate expenses, and impair relationships with clients or partners.
Probability:
The probability of supply chain interruptions depends on several elements, including the intricacy of the supply chain, the geographical positioning of suppliers, and external influences such as natural calamities or geopolitical conflicts.
Intense Market Competition:
Impact:
Intense rivalry can significantly influence the project by influencing market share, pricing tactics, and overall profitability. Apple's investment in extra marketing or product differentiation strategies to maintain competitiveness may lead to higher expenses and lower profit margins.
