| dc.description.abstract | Risk management practices have turned into an essential part of many industries while there is yet no published record of standards or guidelines defining the risks inherent in translation industry and the methods available to treat and manage them. The present Sequential Exploratory research aimed at identifying the most common risks in daily operations of translation companies and categorizing those risks, investigating the maturity level of translation companies in terms of risk management, and uncovering the attitudes of translation companies toward the application of a comprehensive risk management framework into their activities. The study had two phases of qualitative and quantitative research and each incorporated a pilot study. A total of 400 projects were observed in 4 translation companies during the qualitative phase. The quantitative phase used a survey as its instrument which was completed by 226 companies around the world. A series of qualitative and quantitative data analysis techniques were employed to analyse the data. Finally, the researcher was able to empirically identify 44 risk candidates and statistically group them into 6 categories; maturity level of translation companies was measured at the lowest category of beginner and translation companies showed significant interest in the application of a risk management framework into their activities. | en_US |
