12. RISK MANAGEMENT IN EXPORT-IMPORT BUSINESS
 Risk is a fact of business life, more so of international business.
 The Management of International business is the management of risk.
 No manager can make a strategic business decision or enter into important
business transaction without a full evaluation of the risks involved.
 Many of the best business plans have been ruined by a miscalculation or a
mistake, or an error in judgment that could have been avoided with proper
planning.
 Many types of risks can be insured against, including the risk of damage to
the goods at sea.

 Provides insurance to only high level
exports.
 Insurance should be claimed for each and
every consignment for our safety.

15. PROFIT & LOSS IN CURRENCY
 When the currency value is lower, we get extra
profit.
 When currency value is higher, we will get less
money and end up in loss.
 If riots occur in the country of destination, there is a
chance where the value of the currency falls. And
therefore we could gain profit.

16. FINDINGS

 Inadequate number of workers
 Inadequate promotion
 There was a delay on delivery of consignments

17. SUGGESTIONS
 Nameboard of the should be made more
conspicuous.
 More staff members are required in the firm
 Promotional activities should be enhanced
 Consignments should be delivered on proper time.

18. CONCLUSION
As an intern I would like to express my gratitude to ASAN BUSINESS
SCHOOL for giving an opportunity to work at Siva Silks Exports. And I
conclude my report by saying that Foreign Exchange Management and
Risk Management are the vital process in exporting. As there is a burden
of risk involved in exporting,we need to manage it efficiently.
