Abstract
Risk appears in every kind of investment. If a company wants to change technology, it has to count with the risk of failure and other possible hazards. Identifying, monitoring and mitigating the risks are necessary. This thesis will investigate how risk identification and management should be carried out by (small/medium sized) companies participating in new technology projects (e.g. ICT-PSP projects of the European Union). ICT-PSP (ICT Policy Support Programme) is aiming at stimulating innovation and competitiveness. It implements this goal through the wider uptake and best use of Information and communication technologies (ICT) by citizens, governments and businesses.
Keywords: Risk Management, Technology Deployment Projects, Project Management
