and distribution of problem because it affects all stages of the policy cycle. Basically, policies
are made so that organization will not deal with any problem (B'far, et. al., 2016). The
business manager plan, implement and evaluate policy only after considering the nature, size,
and distribution of problem.
QUESTION 3

organizational risk?

business risks. While using the analytical framework I will consider the skills, methods, and
techniques of the business enterprise because if the organisation will have high skilled
workforce then it can easily remove the organisational risks from the workplace.
QUESTION 4
Explain how existing policies and the policy cycle guide the development and review of
new policies.
The business enterprise develops new business strategies only after considering the policy
cycle and previous policies. On the basis of current policies, an organisation can evaluate that
in which areas it needs to develop new policy (Borras, et. al., 2014). The standard of existing
policy also helps in evaluating the effectiveness of the new business policy.
