You are the advisor of Howdy, a leading technology firm, manufacturing some of the most advanced graphics processing units (GPUs) for the artificial intelligence (AI), gaming, creative design, autonomous vehicles, and robotics industries. On the first week of work, you had to answer a broad range of questions on risk management. To address those, you had to remember some of the practical lessons from your studies at SUSS. Mrs. Brown, the Chief Operations Officer, has asked you to prioritise five (5) different risks: (i) === (ii) (iii) (iv) (v) A highly predictable fall in crypto demand, which is less than 2% of Howdy's business. A remote environmental law proposal to ban Howdy new GPU for the huge AI market. A potential supply chain issue, which could delay Howdy's sales of robotic vehicles chips by three months. Automotive is an average contributor to its profit. The imminent merger of Howdy's two closest competitors, which would enable them to compete at cut-throat prices on the firm's entire product range. The improbable decline in sales of gaming computers' chips after COVID, which may hit Howdy's sales to some extent. Mrs. Pink, the Chief Communications Officer, has to provide an assessment of Howdy's current competitive position and exposure to macro-risks. (c) Distinguish and appraise exactly two (2) opportunities and two (2) threats for Howdy's GPU business in today's environment.
