Risk attitude: organization’s approach to assess and eventually pursue, retain, take or turn away from risk.
Risk appetite: Risk Appetite is the degree of uncertainty an organization or individual is willing to accept on in anticipation of a reward. In other words, Risk Appetite is the amount of risk that an organization is prepared to pursue.
Organizations take risks in order to meet their strategic objectives. Risk Appetite is the amount of risk that an organization is willing to take risks with expectation of gaining benefit.
Risk tolerance: Risk tolerance is the specified range of acceptable results.”
Let’s assume that you are a sales manager of a real estate project. In order to speed up sales you proposed to your top management to make discounts. The sales price of a housing unit is 50,000 USD and the profit rate is %10. Your top management does not allow you to make discount for more than 7 % of 50,000 USD. This %7 is your organization’ s tolerance limit in order to gain %3 profit. In mechanical terms the tolerance is 0% to 7%.
Risk Threshold: The quantified amount/time of risk exposure above which risks are not accepted.
Risk threshold is a quantified limit beyond which an organization can not accept risk.

The sales price of a housing unit is 50,000 USD and the profit rate is %10. Your company have a policy that a discount rate which is more than profit rate can not be acceptable. Therefore your organization’s threshold for this project is 5,000 USD.
Risk Attitude:
Risk attitude would therefore be ‘chosen response to uncertainty that matters, driven by perception’. Since perception is inherently subjective, it naturally follows that the risk attitude of a particular person or group towards a given uncertain situation might be different from the attitude adopted by others.

Although the responses to positive and negative situations suggest at first sight that environment or situation is the prime determinant of behavior, in fact it is how the environment is perceived by each person, since a situation that appears hostile to one may seem benign to another. This raises the question of what influences behavior when the situation is uncertain. In this case the important driver of behavior is whether uncertainty is perceived as favorable, neutral, unfavorable or hostile. This reaction to uncertainty is ‘risk attitude’, defined above as ‘chosen response to perception of significant uncertainty’.
