There are many risks associated with IT projects that have the
potential to threaten the success of the project at any stage of
its development life cycle. By seeking commonalities between
knowledge management and risk management, a way by which they can
be integrated together to reduce these risks can be determined.
Knowledge Management Techniques for Risk Management in IT Projects:
Emerging Research and Opportunities is a collection of innovative
research that examines the tools and techniques of knowledge
management and integrates them with risk management techniques for
better analysis of risks that can occur in different stages of IT
projects. While highlighting topics including benchmark monitoring,
integration management, and knowledge banks, this book is ideally
designed for project managers, risk consultants, managers, industry
professionals, researchers, and academicians.
Risk is the effect of uncertainty on the ability of an organization
to meet its strategic objectives. The effects of uncertainty are
expressed as opportunities and threats. Yet, most people associate
risk with hazards and losses (i.e., pure risk). Unlike pure risk,
uncertainty risk is not insurable because of its upside risk
opportunities. Risk management is a key element of the
open-sourced, high-level structure developed by the International
Organization for Standardization. This structure for managing
important organizational programs has been adopted by over 180
country standard-setting organizations. This book helps the
organization's top leader gather the information needed to identify
opportunities and threats and decide on the appropriate risk
response in this uncertain world. The two most widely used risk
management standards are presented to demonstrate that an
organization can use either one or a combination of the two
standards to help manage the effects of uncertainty on their
organization. It's fool-worthy to attempt to run an organization
without formal uncertainty risk management. Let this book help you
find your company's way in an uncertain world.
Risks and uncertaintiesOComarket, financial, operational, social,
humanitarian, environmental, and institutionalOCoare the inherent
realities of the modern world. Stock market crashes, demonetization
of currency, and climate change constitute just a few examples that
can adversely impact financial institutions across the globe. To
mitigate these risks and avoid a financial crisis, a better
understanding of how the economy responds to uncertainties is
needed. Maintaining Financial Stability in Times of Risk and
Uncertainty is an essential reference source that discusses how
risks and uncertainties affect the financial stability and security
of individuals and institutions, as well as probable solutions to
mitigate risk and achieve financial resilience under uncertainty.
Featuring research on topics such as financial fraud, insurance
ombudsman, and Knightian uncertainty, this book is developed for
researchers, academicians, policymakers, students, and scholars.
This textbook presents key theoretical approaches to understanding
issues of sustainability and environmental management, perfectly
bridging the gap between engineering and environmental science. It
begins with the fundamentals of environmental modelling and
toxicology, which are then used to discuss qualitative and
quantitative risk assessment methods, and environmental assessments
of product design. It discusses how business and government can
work towards sustainability, focusing on managerial and legal
tools, before considering ethics and how decisions on environmental
management can be made. Students will learn quantitative methods
while also gaining an understanding of qualitative, legal, and
ethical aspects of sustainability. Practical applications are
included throughout, and there are study questions at the end of
each chapter. PowerPoint slides and jpegs of all the figures in the
book are provided online. This is the perfect textbook on
environmental studies for engineering and applied science students.
Risk management is a vital concern in any organization. In order to
succeed in the competitive modern business environment, the
decision-making process must be effectively governed and managed.

risk-contingency management research and case studies. Featuring
coverage on a broad range of topics, such as contingency planning,
project management, and risk mitigation, this book is geared
towards academicians, practitioners, and researchers seeking
current research on risk and contingency management issues.
