Business transmission is going to be a key issue in the coming years. This topic is an ongoing matter on European, national and regional level, especially because of the ageing independents (Guyot & Van Cutsem, 2010). By 2025, about 100,000 jobs in Belgium will potentially be affected by the transfer of businesses due to the age of their leaders. The success of this type of operation is vital for the preservation of our economic structure. Even though the survival rate of transmitted companies is substantially higher than that of a newly created company; we notice nowadays, that over 50% of the companies intending to transfer their business in the next two years, still don’t have any potential buyer in prospect (Counot & Mulic, 2004).

On a daily basis, enterprises face numerous and diverse risks. It is essential to identify the threats in each life phase of the organization in order to be able to cope with them. In the course of this thesis, we will discuss the risks associated with a particular practice, which was rather less analysed in literature until today; the transmission of a business. Most existing studies generally treat the business transmission and takeover separately. Our approach however depicts the incremental process of both points of view. The aim of this research is to determine the risks related to the different phases of a business transmission project in order to develop a tool preventively assessing the danger of the situation the transferor and/or buyer could be exposed to. In this way, the emergence of those specific risks should be avoided and thus ensure the sustainability of the company. Consequently, a qualitative study was conducted through four professionals in the art of transmission, six individuals having sold their business and eight ones having taken over a business. We analysed the existing literature in this field to expand our knowledge about the emergence of risks in a business transmission/ takeover. The reasons regularly rely on relational and emotional problems affecting, in the medium term, negatively on the financial health of the company. The results of our survey show that the main problems are, among many others, the personality of the vendor, the staff resistance, the knowledge transfer and/or a non-competitive production equipment. Knowing that it is impossible to predict every risk inherent to a business transmission project, the actual objective of this thesis is to detect and present the most commonly encountered risks.

The Illusion of Certainty: Health Benefits and Risks peels away the "veneer of certainty" which many of us attach to health risk and benefit information given to us in our daily lives. It was written and designed primarily to assist the public in comprehending and interpreting the uncertainty associated with the overwhelming amount of information on medical and environmental health risks. The book uses unique, visual presentations and case studies to explain the benefits of medical screening tests (e.g., mammography, prostate and colorectal cancer screening, cholesterol screening) and drugs (e.g., statins, Vioxx) and the risks associated with exposure to environmental contaminants (e.g., lead, dioxin, radon). This book will help patients and their families get more involved in making medical decisions, and citizens face critical questions about the environment. By putting the complexities of risk analysis in terms the general public can relate to, the authors are empowering people to make well-informed decisions. About the Authors: Erik Rifkin is the president of an environmental consulting firm that specializes in the characterization of ecological and human health risks from exposure to soil, water, air and sediments. His firm provides assistance and guidance to federal and state regulatory agencies and corporations regarding the nature and magnitude of environmental risks and potential remediation strategies. Dr. Rifkin's broad experience includes the communication of health risks and benefits to groups concerned with these issues. Edward J. Bouwer is Professor of Environmental Engineering at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland. He has extensive experience with water and soil pollution and treatment. His research provides guidance on defining and managing environmental risks and how to interpret human and ecological health risk data. Dr. Bouwer has served on several National Research Council committees that provide guidance on managing human and ecological risk Guest Author Bob Sheff, MD, received his medical training as a radiologist at UCLA and Johns Hopkins Medical Center. He spent his career praticing medicine and running one of the largest medical managed-care systems in the U.S. Now semi-retired, he devotes his time to helping non-profit organizations and individual people address their medical concerns. He lives in Columbia, Maryland. Written for: Undergraduate, graduate, medical and nursing students, engineers, government advisory agencies, research scientists, lawyers, politicians and anyone interested in risk analysis and the interpretation of risk values.
