completion. Consequently, the program manager transfers all resources to this project and arranges
for employees to receive overtime pay.
Which risk response strategy is the program manager using in this scenario?
I thought about transfer (B) since they’re shifting resources, but that’s usually about shifting risk to a third party. Here, it seems they’re actively controlling the outcome themselves, so it might not fit. Could that rule out B?
Makes sense to say D since they’re not just boosting chances but actually locking in the early finish by moving all resources and paying overtime. Definitely exploiting the opportunity fully. D
This one feels like it’s about making sure the good thing definitely happens, so I’d go with D. Exploit means using all means to guarantee the opportunity, which fits with pushing hard and overtime to lock in that early finish.
Option D, they’re making sure to capture the opportunity fully by forcing early completion.
It’s D because the manager’s actions are about guaranteeing the bonus, not just increasing chances. Using all resources and overtime forces the positive outcome, which fits exploit better than enhance.
Maybe C, enhancing the chance of early completion by adding resources and overtime pay seems like they're improving the probability or impact of the positive risk, not just exploiting it.
I think it can’t be B because transferring usually means shifting risk to a third party, like insurance or a contractor, which isn’t happening here. They’re not just escalating either since that’s about passing risk up the chain. The focus is definitely on making the early finish happen, so it’s more than just enhancing—it’s a direct action to make sure the opportunity is realized. But what’s the real difference between enhancing and exploiting here? Is it just about guaranteeing success?
D imo, they’re actively trying to guarantee the early finish, not just accepting risk.
Option D? But how is this risk actually "exploited"? Not sure here.
