Product Description

Product Description
This book shows what all managers need to know about growth in a turbulent world. Especially in these turbulent times, good risk management is about exploiting opportunities for growth while protecting value already created. To do this, corporate leaders must, first and foremost, learn to manage the chain of cause and effect between risk and shareholder value. Now "Risk" shows them how. As vice chairs of the international consulting giant KPMG L.L.P., authors Mary Pat McCarthy and Tim Flynn are uniquely qualified to offer executives and senior managers this ultimate primer on risk and its optimization and management. It is packed with case studies and exclusive interviews with executives of many Fortune 500 companies. It explores the most successful risk management strategies now in use internationally and offers prescriptions for adapting them to any company.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 22 April 2004
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This is an easily accessible, short and reasonably thorough introductionto the subject of risk. The authors touch on almost every dimension of thetopic, including financial risk, operational risk, reputation risk,governance risk and even the risk of terrorist attack. The book might havebeen quite a bit shorter and somewhat more focused on corporate managementif the authors, KPMG vice chairs Mary Pat McCarthy and Timothy P. Flynnhad tightened their anecdotes about anti-terrorist preparations at theOlympic Games. However, they seem to have believed that they would losereaders unless they provided a few entertaining distractions, and theycould be right. Though it breaks little new ground, it plows the oldground interestingly. We recommend this portable summary of usefulinformation to the CEOs and board members who are its intended audience,as well as to anyone responsible for risk management.
