Résumé

Connecting risk management and insurance to today's business environment The changing landscape of risk management was made all too apparent by the events of the early 21st century. With the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and scandals involving companies such as Enron and MCI WorldCom, the importance of risk management has never been more evident. Risk Management and Insurance offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to the intricacies of the field. Etti Baranoff provides a solid connection between the field's traditional approaches and the latest industry developments, while exploring the modern climate of risk management and insurance.
