World of Risk

We are now living in a world of accelerating, but unmanaged, risk. The 1997 Asian Capital Crisis and the Haze are just two examples of a phenomenon which recurs with frightening regularity around the world: a global system (capital and environmental) which operates with no effective monitor and no effective response mechanism should something go wrong. The accelerations of global distribution and delivery systems have intensified a dangerous set of issues, problems, and risks which are, under the current system, either unmanaged or unmanageable. Extracting a set of internationally tested management structures and operating principles from effective multinational corporations and applying them to non-business challenges, author Mark Daniell describes a common practical approach that could improve significantly the management of global initiatives and risks, including the environment, global finance, and cyber world issues.
