Abstract

Risks are part of every business operation and can never be avoided completely. To minimize the danger of corporate crisis, a conscientious and responsible approach to the handling of risks and the resulting impact on business is essential. Unforeseen events pose an especially great challenge for companies and require quick decision-making and immediate reactions. This paper presents a way of structuring decision problems as part of a concept for accelerated decision-making in the context of response to risk. The locus of our research is freight villages, which represent a typical example of logistics agglomerations, and the focus of our research are their business processes, which mainly consist of storage, transport and handling of freight.
