ABSTRACT
Whether you manufacture products or provide a service, every type of operation carries its own risks.
With a turnover of $28bn, Deere and Company makes huge construction equipment, which involves many manufacturing and end user risks. The company also has a leasing arm, which creates financial and debt risks. It has sales operations in the USA and in developing nations, which could give rise to ethical risks. And it services equipment, which provides operational risks. In short Deere faces no shortage of threats.
