Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to examine the risks and risk management practices in the fast-moving consumer goods sector in Turkey through an interview study. In the study, semi-structured interviews were conducted with managers of businesses that produce and market fast-moving consumer goods. Five participants were interviewed from the audit unit, 15 from the finance-financial affairs unit, 10 from the general responsibility unit, three from the risk management, six from sales and one from the production unit. The risks that are considered critical for companies, the management of these risks, the risks posed by the pandemic, and the positions taken by companies regarding insurance, which is a risk management tool, were analyzed. 23 company officials who participated in the research stated that they had no risks that were not insured and that the necessary insurance was made for all risks. 29 company officials participating in the research stated that they received insurance brokerage services. 18 of those who receive insurance services work with one or more agencies, and 11 companies receive brokerage services.
