Taking on risk is simply a part of business. But new developments
in technology and communication make risk management simpler and
more effective than ever before. Using examples from companies such
as Home Depot, Airbus, Boeing, and Nokia, author John Hampton takes
a fresh look at one of the hottest topics in business today:
weighing business opportunities against the possibilities of loss.
Fundamentals of Enterprise Risk Management does this by introducing
innovative new concepts such as hierarchical risk structures,
alignment of risks with the business model, creation of a central
risk function, and the role of an ERM knowledge warehouse. Readers
will learn how to recognize both internal and external exposures;
understand important concepts such as risk mapping and risk
identification; recognize the weaknesses of current ERM systems;
align risk opportunities with their organization's business model;
and stay in line with Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. Featuring
enlightening case studies and practical exercises, this essential
book shows readers how they can implement ERM the right way to
experience unapparelled successes at their organizations.
In Juridification of Religion? Helge Arsheim and Pamela Slotte
explore the extent to which developments currently taking place at
the interface between law and religion in domestic, regional and
international law can be conceptualized as instances of larger,
multidimensional processes of juridification. The book relies on an
expansive notion of juridification, departing from the narrower
sense of juridification as the gradually increasing "colonization
of the lifeworld" proposed by Jurgen Habermas in his Theory of
Communicative Action (1987). More specifically, the book adapts the
multidimensional notion of juridification outlined by Anders
Molander and Lars Christian Blichner (2008), developing it into a
more context-specific notion of juridification that is attendant to
the specific nature of religion as a subject matter for law.
