Match each advanced commercial risk management scenario to the correct method of handling risk it represents according to the STARR framework.
- A corporation increases its commercial property policy deductible to $250,000 and establishes an internal funded reserve to pay for expected high-frequency, low-severity losses.Risk Retention
- A manufacturing firm requires its distributors to sign a hold-harmless agreement, legally indemnifying the manufacturer from any bodily injury claims arising from the sale of its products.Risk Transfer
- A pharmaceutical company completely halts the research, development, and planned release of a new drug after initial trials indicate potential cardiovascular side effects.Risk Avoidance
- A logistics company mandates biannual defensive driving courses for all operators and installs advanced telemetry devices to govern maximum vehicle speeds across its fleet.Risk Reduction
- A group of independent regional hospitals forms a reciprocal exchange, pooling their premiums and exchanging indemnity agreements to cover each other's professional liability exposures.Risk Sharing
Cevap
The correct pairings are: using deductibles and reserves (Risk Retention), utilizing hold-harmless agreements (Risk Transfer), halting product development (Risk Avoidance), installing telemetry and mandating training (Risk Reduction), and forming a reciprocal exchange (Risk Sharing).
Each scenario accurately represents one of the five STARR methods of handling risk. Active deductibles represent retention; indemnification contracts represent transfer; ceasing operations represents avoidance; safety measures represent reduction; and pooling mechanisms represent sharing.
