From the Back Cover
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 entirely safe.

Comprehensive, thought provoking, readable,
By A Customer
This review is from: Mastering Risk Volume 1: Concepts (Paperback)
This book appears to be a compilation of the 10 issue Mastering Risk supplement to the Financial Times. It walks the reader through a broad range of risk issues, from the traditional insurance type risks through to high level financial risks.Very readable - the chapters contain 3-5 articles each 4-6 pages long - ideal for reading when travelling by air. Excellent reference book to turn to when you need a quick update on specific issues. May become dated as many examples are specific to events in 2000.
