At a time when unacceptable risk taking is rightly condemned, how
can organizations still benefit from the upside of risk? Can risk
still be good? Written by an author who has managed risk, teaches
about risk, but most importantly of all has researched the theory
of risk, this book will help senior executives dial up the right
level of risk within their organizations in order to enhance
performance. There are many risk management techniques that are
known to work and risk management has logged many successes, but
that doesn't mean managers understand why they work, how and why
risks arise, and how organizations can be shaped strategically to
optimize the benefits of well-judged business risks. Dr Les Coleman
argues that finance and management risk has been a theory-free
zone, similar to medicine in the Middle Ages, when physicians were
aware of surgical techniques and medicines that worked, but did not
know why and were impotent in the face of systemic illness. Today
risk managers face much the same situation: They know of techniques
that work such as audits, controls and procedure guides.
Nevertheless, they rarely anticipate, much less prevent, serious
failures. They have no comprehensive knowledge framework for
targeting optimum risk levels. This timely book fills some of that
gap with an outline of the nature and sources of risk in firms. It
sets out a body of risk knowledge to support its management,
particularly at the corporate level, in much the same way that our
understanding of human physiology and the physical sciences support
modern medical and engineering techniques. The reader will learn,
for example, how risk attitudes and outcomes flow through an
organization and about creative techniques such as asset-liability
management. In this area of corporate finance so critical for
executives and directors, Risk Strategies will help responsible
CFOs and other senior managers, together with teachers and students
of management, extend their knowledge and risk management skills.
