Hello Cristina and Bogdan,

In developing the article regarding Risk management, I have decided to extract from the two research papers by Jacques G. Richardson the most relevant cases that can help me in providing a classification of risks. Also, I think the measures that were taken to avoid or overcome risks can be very useful when structuring our article.

Let me know if you agree with me on this aspect.

Best regards, Maria
