Product Description

Product Description

The book analyzes, compares, and contrasts tools and techniques used in risk management at corporate, strategic business and project level and develops a risk management mechanism for the sequencing of risk assessment through corporate, strategic and project stages of an investment in order to meet the requirements of the 1999 Turnbull report. By classifying and categorizing risk within these levels it is possible to drill down and roll–up to any level of the organizational structure and to establish the risks that each project is most sensitive to, so that appropriate risk response strategies may be implemented to benefit all stakeholders.

"The new edition of this book provides a clear insight into the intricacies of corporate risk management and the addition of the case study exemplars aids understanding of the management of multiple projects in the real world."
Professor Nigel Smith, Head of the School of Civil Engineering, University of Leeds

From the Inside Flap

"Corporate Risk Management is one of those books that when you have it, you wonder how you managed without it. In the second edition the authors have taken the opportunity to update the text, to add minor, but important, elements and, most obviously to add several extra chapters. The minor extensions of the work illustrate the authors’ attention to detail and their intention to produce a definitive document that explains even the more complex issues with a clarity that is to be commended. I recommend it to everyone from students to senior managers."
M.J. Mawdesley, Director of Nottingham Centre for Infrastructure, The University of Nottingham

"A well written and informative study into the risk analysis of corporates and projects, with considerable real world relevance. A helpful insight for industry practitioners."
—Matt Toolan, Head of Infrastructure, AIB Capital Markets

"An excellent foundation in corporate risk management for both practitioners and academics. The book covers all aspects of risk management at each level of an organisation and discusses risks associated with financing, as well as managing investments and portfolios of investments."
—Professor Denise Bower, Professor of Engineering, Project Management School of Civil Engineering, University of Leeds

"Merna and Al–Thani drive home the message that a corporate risk strategy is essential for business survival in our ever challenging dynamic environment. They not only provide the reader with an essential toolkit to manage risk at the corporate, business and project levels, but also offer practical tips to enhance stakeholders understanding and awareness of risk inherent within any form of investment."
—Brian McCarthy, BA (Dist.) MBA (Dist.) FCCA

Format:Hardcover
A good overview of Corporate Risk Management. An easy read that makes the subject interesting and applicable to most businesses.

Format:Hardcover
Covers a good range of topics, but lacks depth. Time would be better spent explaining more about the specifics of risk management using examples, than the dry list of sub-headings and brief mentions. For example, the section on finance is not intelligible without prior knowledge (and so covered far better in other specialist text).

Particularly disliked the use of acronyms, not explained anywhere else in the text NPV, IRR, VFM, CCF (most are obvious, but the assumption of knowledge is annoying).

Apart from the opening chapters, there are many references to the authors own work, rather than wider risk management literature.

The case studies included in the final chapters are good.
