Abstract :
The importance of identifying and tackling different risks faced by Pakistani IT companies in the 21st century are much more diverse and varying then those that were faced 50 years ago. In this paper we perform a survey of the different kinds of risks faced by IT companies in Pakistan. The survey helps us to identify the faults of companies that lead them to encountering of these risks. We are facing much loss in our IT sector due to the risks faced by companies in our country and this survey helps us emphasize the importance of risk management for IT companies. The survey findings will certainly help both researchers and practitioners in future to carry out risk management research keeping the particular risks faced in our country in mind.
