The assignment has been prepared by reading the case given. The case was based on a fictitious organization. Upon analyzing it against the key pressure points, it was found the company is in the high risk zone. Scoring for each element is given in the paper with proper justification as to why this scoring was given in the first place. I have ensured that the references are categorized into different categories such as books, journals etc. However, most of the information was self-developed based on the reading in the article and the case given.
