Aus dem Klappentext

"Risk Management is such a broad subject and varies depending on the organization and the industry. Many standards and guidelines around the world try to encapsulate risk into one set of parameters but typically suffer as they are from one particular perspective. Robert Chapman however does not conform to this single minded approach and provides us with a mixture of current risk management issues, techniques and case studies to provide a broad and yet still comprehensive view on risk management that is relevant to any industry sector. As such, there is something here for everyone who is in the risk management field and should be a mandatory addition to any risk manager's bookshelf."
