Managing business risk

"In order to fully appreciate how risk management's present and future compare, readers must get a perspective on the history of risk management, on the general structure of risk-management practices, and on the controversies and issues that confront risk managers today. To accomplish this, the authors have developed a ground-breaking model known as Organization Risk Management (ORM), which gives a broad context for understanding risk managment. The ORM model allows readers to explore actual risk-management practices and also consider how current trends and issues may transform risk management into a better-integrated, cost-saving, and company-wide management function."--BOOK JACKET.
