Product Description
Review
"Much needed, practical and very readable. This excellent book will be welcomed by those with business in emerging markets and especially by banks operating in these risk challenging environments."
Tony Jennings, Senior Advisor, Bank Training Centre, World Bank Group Mekong Region
"This book offers a refreshing approach to the appreciation of risk management. Carl is to be congratulated for his practical and novel approach to the subject – an essential read for all students."
Professor Joseph Nellis, Head of Economics Group, Cranfield School of Management
"Carl's lively, comprehensive and refreshingly readable book is built on his extensive practical experience in emerging markets banking. It is characterised by easily understood explanations of the technical concepts, as well as real-life insights and examples, from the Titanic to Thailand, that will often prompt a wry nod of recognition. This is essential reading for positive-minded risk managers in changing markets, whether emerging or developed."
Mick Green, General Manager, Retail Risk, ANZ Banking Group
"There can scarcely have been two more salient concerns for senior managers in multi-national companies over recent years than the management of risk and the exploitation of emerging markets. Carl’s text not only provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject of risk management but also shows how the principles of risk management can, and indeed should be extended to exploiting opportunities in emerging markets."
Ian Turner, Director of Graduate Business Studies, Henley Management College
"In Risk Management in Emerging Markets Carl very clearly helps the reader understand the nature of the unique risks encountered in emerging markets and discusses a variety of methods for managing such risks in a clear and accessible way. The book captures significant practical experience in a field and markets that risk managers can no longer afford to ignore."
Michael Frow,Chief Executive Office, Harris Trust Bank
Professor Joseph Nellis, Head of Economics Group, Cranfield School of Management
"Carl is to be congratulated for his practical and novel approach to the subject – an essential read for all students.”
