Mastering Risk Volume 1: Concepts

Every company is exposed to risk. Some of it is intentional, such as implementing new strategies or information systems. Some of it is unavoidable, such as economic fluctuations or political upheavals. One thing is sure though. You can never be enturely safe.

Developed from the successful series run in the Financial Times newspaper, Mastering Risk Volume 1 brings you the latest thinking from some of the world's leading authorities and examines the concept of risk control as it threads its way through every aspect of business and finance management. It explains the techniques used to identify and measure risk, the methods of managing financial and non-financial risk, and investigates emerging areas of risk such as e-commerce and reputation management.

With an impressive cast of contributors including Rory Knight (dean emeritus of Templeton), Philippe Jorion, Nigel Turnbull and Peter Bernstein (author of Against the Odds), Mastering Risk Volume 1 will provide you with the very latest ideas on how to master the art of risk management.
