Abstract
Business activity can be analyzed through a “risk awareness” perspective and a

“responsibility awareness” perspective. However, risk and responsibility are actually

interdependent. Risk‐taking triggers responsibility issues and taking responsibility

means risking being asked critical questions. This paper suggests some first steps for

combining these two perspectives conceptually. After several introductory illustrations

showing how risk and responsibility issues are intertwined, the paper looks separately

each at risk and at responsibility. Then the argument that such perspectives could be

usefully combined is elaborated further from a theoretical angle and from a practical

angle, by looking at various ethical issues and by presenting paradigmatic examples of

balancing or sharing risk and responsibility related to leadership, to ERM and to

insurance.
