ENTERPRISE RISK MANAGEMENT

by David L Olson (University of Nebraska, USA) & Desheng Dash Wu (University of Toronto, Canada)

Table of Contents (36k)
Preface (22k)
Chapter 1: Enterprise Risk Managemen (92k)

This book expands the scope of risk management beyond insurance and finance to include accounting risk, terrorism, and other issues that can threaten an organization. It approaches risk management from five perspectives: in addition to the core perspective of financial risk management, it addresses perspectives of accounting, supply chains, information systems, and disaster management. It also covers balanced scorecards, multiple criteria analysis, simulation, data envelopment analysis, and financial risk measures that help assess risk, thereby enabling a well-informed managerial decision making.

The book concludes by looking at four case studies, which cover a wide range of topics. These include such practical issues as the development and implementation of a sound risk management structure; supply chain risk and enterprise resource planning systems in information systems, and disaster management.
