More than thirty leading scholars and finance practitioners discuss the theory and practice of using enterprise-risk management (ERM) to increase corporate values. ERM is the corporate-wide effort to manage the right-hand side of the balance sheet—a firm's total liability structure-in ways that enable management to make the most of the firm's assets. While typically working to stabilize cash flows, the primary aim of a well-designed risk management program is not to smooth corporate earnings, but to limit the possibility that surprise outcomes can threaten a company's ability to fund its major investments and carry out its strategic plan. Contributors summarize the development and use of risk management products and their practical applications. Case studies involve Merck, British Petroleum, the American airline industry, and United Grain Growers, and the conclusion addresses a variety of topics that include the pricing and use of certain derivative securities, hybrid debt, and catastrophe bonds.

Just plain terrific. The selection of contributors is outstanding, the presentations extraordinarily lucid and stimulating, and the story told a mighty impressive one. (Peter Bernstein, editor of the Journal of Portfolio Management and author of Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk)
The Journal of Applied Corporate Finance truly bridges the gap between leading thinking and practical solutions. The articles are uniformly well written, with a clear eye to showing practitioners how financial management can be used to increase shareholder value. (Tom King, Vice President-Finance, Progressive Insurance Co.)
