Abstract

In a global environment, companies face exchange rate risk due to their need to conduct operations abroad. Risk must be managed properly in order to identify its impact on the viability and profitability of companies and to take proper risk mitigating measures. The case study under review analyzes the exchange rate risk of an exporting company in order to determine the probable impact of this risk. Furthermore, it discusses various alternatives to mitigate currency risk.
