AB  - This article defines the theoretical specification of risk management and crisis management. The main goal of this article is to define the basic features and understand the reciprocal relations between risk management and crisis management and their function in the business environment.Risk management is a process of risk regulation. It helps to protect an enterprise from the impact of existing and future risks. Part of this process is the decision process which derives from risk's analysis.Crisis management can be defined as a permanent process of monitoring single factors of efficiency with the goal to identifying and applying proactive steps leading to the prevention of crisis creation and its negative effects. Another definition evaluates crisis management as a process of crisis identification and the enterprise's subsequent stabilization.The specification of areciprocal relationship between risk management and crisis management arises from the definition of risk as a source of danger causing current or future crisis in the enterprise.
