Risk in Banking: Developing a Knowledge Risk Management Framework for Cooperative Credit Banks

Addressing a need for innovative solutions to challenges facing organisations today, this book explores the concept of Knowledge Risk Management (KRM), outlining how this new approach can be implemented in the banking sector. The author proposes the first knowledge risk framework that is specific to cooperative banks, which aims to improve the accuracy of risk assessment procedures by combining a conventional risk management approach with knowledge management tools and techniques. Including empirical data taken from interviews with employees in the banking sector, this book provides banks with a valuable tool for tackling potentially damaging knowledge-related risks, making it an essential read for those researching risk management and banking.
