that minimization of most of the listed risks is possible due to well-designed management
decisions, and the target function of the system may be different depending on the cost and volume
of products (goods, services). For large volumes, the objective function is defined as minimizing
risk while maintaining specifications in accordance with standards.
Conclusions and offers. Having studied the groups and types of risks presented above and
based on the principle of highlighting the priority feature of the classification, we can formulate
the following types of risks in insurance activities:
• according to the desirability of the consequences - speculative, pure, neutral;
• according to acceptability of consequences – pure risks are divided into acceptable and
unacceptable;
• according to the ability of the subject to manage the risk - manageable, unmanageable;
• if forecasting is possible – forecasted (estimated), not estimated;
• according to the assessment method – assessed by mathematical and statistical methods,
assessed by experts;
• if possible insurance – insurance, non-insurance;
• by risk value – high, medium, low;
• by sphere of occurrence – external and internal;
• by nature causes of occurrence - political (country), man-made, natural and climatic,
"human factor";
• by content (by nature of consequences) – risks of material damage, financial risks (risks
of financial losses), risks of damage to human life and health; environmental risks.
In addition, in order to manage risks during the transfer of risks in the insurance activities
of individual entities, it seems appropriate to group certain types of risks characteristic of the type
of economic activity under consideration. In this regard, taking into account industry specifics, the
following risk groups can be formed:
— risks directly related to material production (including construction and installation
risks, agricultural risks, production risks, etc.).
—risks of financial and credit, investment and innovation, trade and logistics (including
transport and storage) and special areas of activity;
— risks of research activities;
— risks in the social sphere;
—life insurance risks.
The problem of risk, therefore, lies not in the plane of mathematics, but in its formulation
in the subject language. To do this, it is also necessary to represent the real process of risky activity
and the behavior of different categories of subjects - players under changing circumstances. In
other words, risk is the possibility of success or failure, in which case the event is hypothetical
(assumed) in nature and is not inevitable. Based on this, in order to form a multi-task classification
