About this title

Synopsis

Risk is the lifeblood of a corporation. Businesses spends trillions of dollars each year to address their risk exposures. It provides the opportunity to turn a profit, but raises the specter of ruin. Managers often tackle risk head-on wherever it appears. How can the management of this myriad of risks be brought into some common framework for consistency and efficiency? Shimpi shows how the most important step managers within an organization can take is to adopt the same framework that embraces a common view of risk. The framework Shimpi reveals should allow each manager to express the risks he or she faces and its consequences to the whole firm. It allows a bottom-up assessment of risk that results in a corporate-wide risk management perspective. The major objective of this book is to help managers understand emerging risk management techniques in a constantly changing business landscape. Features examples and case studies thoroughout.
