Abstract

Introduction: Risk management in the business environment has evolved significantly, but it still faces the challenge of having a unified and coherent risk classification. This lack of homogeneity hinders the effective implementation of mitigation strategies and communication between different stakeholders. Objective: This research proposes a new way of classifying business risks, providing a novel theoretical framework for Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Methodology: An epistemological and praxeological contrast was carried out through an exhaustive review of the academic literature and current business practices in risk management. This analysis made it possible to identify factors of conceptual convergence and to unravel inconsistencies in the existing risk taxonomies. Results: It was determined that internal risks can be grouped into three key areas: strategic, financial and operational. The consequence should not be considered a classification variable, but a construct of several variables. Conclusions: The distinction between the scope of risk and its consequences allows for a more precise identification, evaluation and management. This proposal contributes to standardizing enterprise risk management, by distinguishing between the scope of risk and its consequences. This model improves risk identification and management, reduces conceptual ambiguity, and strengthens organizational capacity to deal with uncertainty. Introducción: La gestión del riesgo en el ámbito empresarial ha evolucionado significativamente, pero aún enfrenta el desafío de contar con una clasificación de riesgos unificada y coherente. Esta falta de homogeneidad obstaculiza la aplicación efectiva de estrategias de mitigación y la comunicación entre diferentes stakeholders. Objetivo: Esta investigación propone una nueva forma de clasificar los riesgos empresariales, aportando un marco teórico novedoso para el Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). Metodología: Se realizó un contraste epistemológico y praxeológico mediante una revisión exhaustiva de la literatura académica y las prácticas empresariales actuales en gestión de riesgos. Este análisis permitió identificar factores de convergencia conceptual y desentrañar inconsistencias en las taxonomías de riesgo existentes. Resultados: Se determinó que los riesgos internos pueden agruparse en tres ámbitos clave: estratégico, financiero y operativo. La consecuencia no debe considerarse una variable de clasificación, sino un constructo de diversas variables. Conclusiones: La distinción entre el ámbito del riesgo y sus consecuencias, permite una identificación, evaluación y gestión más precisa. Esta propuesta contribuye a estandarizar la gestión de riesgos empresariales, al distinguir entre el ámbito del riesgo y sus consecuencias. Este modelo mejora la identificación y gestión del riesgo, reduce la ambigüedad conceptual y fortalece la capacidad organizacional para enfrentar la incertidumbre.
