Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a process model for assessing the risk management of automobile companies, in which it explains why the automaker enters the process of risk management assessment and how this process works. Based on the Grounded theory (GT) approach and the results of 22 in-depth interviews with 18 experts, a exploratory-process model for describing the risk management assessment phenomenon from the viewpoint of the automaker has been addressed. To analyze and integrate the data, the qualitative-inductive method of the GT including open coding steps, axial coding, and selective coding based on Strauss and Corbin's systematic approach were used. Based on this framework, Causal Conditions of the arrival of the automaker to the process of risk management assessment including organizational, national and international factors. The four other categories that describe how risk management is assessed by the automaker are: Intervening factors including the organizational, national and international context, the contingency factors including the nature of the environmental variables, the nature of the customer and the nature of the automaker, the categories of consequences including national results and Organizational result (survival, growth and profitability) and the category of strategy (exposure process) include pre-exposure, exposure and post-exposure stages.
