:
|
At a time when unacceptable risk taking is rightly condemned, how can organizations still benefit from the upside of risk? Can risk still be good?Written by an author who has managed risk, teaches about risk, but most importantly of all has researched the theory of risk, this book will help teachers and students of management, extend their knowledge and risk management skills and enable senior executives to dial up the right level of risk within their organizations in order to enhance performance.
