| Abstract
|
:
|
Organizational encounters with risk range from errors and anomalies to outright disasters. This collection of essays addresses the varied ways in which modern organisations process and deal with risk. Contributions by leading experts on risk management raise critical questions about how risk can be understood and conceived by organisations.
