The term is also used more broadly to refer to the set of risks taken by a business in seeking to operate in a normal competitive environment; launching a new product or investing in new equipment.
These decisions are risky and they may or may not result in the expected reward, they may even result in extreme cases in the demise of the business. Many firms attempt to limit the scale of this risk by restricting the range of their business to their core competences.
