Investicija u novi projekt poduzetnički je pothvat, a predstavlja uređeni skup radnji koje je potrebno poduzeti radi ostvarivanja određenog cilja u procesu razvoja poduzeća. Temeljna značajka investiranja jest ta da ulaganje kapitala ne donosi korist odmah, već nakon nekog vremena pa odluka o investiciji u novi projekt nije jednokratan čin, već niz različitih odluka. Neizostavan dio svake investicije je rizik, koji je usko povezan s procesom odlučivanja. Prilikom donošenja odluka bitno je znati koji su potencijalni rizici za poduzeće. Nakon saznanja poslovnih rizika bitno je pravilno i učinkovito upravljati rizicima. Učinkovit sustav upravljanja rizicima jedno je od najbitnijih instrumenata zaštite poduzeća od konkurencije te omogućuje poduzeću prepoznavanje prilika i pravodobno reagiranje na promjene. Rizik, upravljanje rizikom, analiza rizika, metode i tehnike upravljanja rizikom, samo su neki od pojmova koji se susreću tijekom prisutnosti rizika poduzeću. Za upravljanje rizikom u poduzeću bitna je identifikacija i mjerenje rizika što predstavlja uvjet procesu analize rizika. Menadžment rizika poduzeća odnosi se na događaje i okolnosti koje mogu negativno utjecati na poduzeće. Analiza rizika pomaže da se ciljevi programa zaštite od rizika usklade i povežu s poslovnim ciljevima i potrebama poduzeća. Što su ciljevi poslovanja i zaštite više usklađeni, bit će uspješnije ostvareni. Glavne metode analize rizika materijalne imovine su analiza osjetljivosti projekta, scenario analiza, analiza stabla odlučivanja i Monte Carlo simulacija (korištenjem QSB programa). Primjenom tih metoda analizira se rizičnost projekta koji se pokazuje u nastavku rada na primjeru poduzeća iz prakse.

Investing in a new project is an enterprise which represents a specific group of activities that are necessary for achieving a certain goal in the process of company development. The basic characteristic of investing is the fact that investing capital does not bring profit immediately, but after a certain period of time, which means that the decision of investing is a series of different decisions, rather than a one-time act.

Risk analysis helps coordinate the goals of risk protection programs and connect them to the business goals and needs of a company. Business goals and protection are more efficiently achieved when coordinated. The main methods of risk analysis on material property are project sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, decision tree analysis and Monte Carlo simulation. The risk analysis of the program discussed in this paper is conducted by implementing those methods in a specific company.
