The reality of risk and how it impacts companies is that it is much more definite, often catastrophic and looks more like a shock. This is striking, as a difference between firms on risk different than a marginal difference in operating efficiencies, for example. Competing on Risk Management requires a discipline, a commitment to using information and recognizing shocks and then acting upon those to redistribute assets.Financial engineering and risk management ;v. 2.Risk managementRisk management.658.15/5Walker Russell1972-1532385MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910786873903321Winning with risk management3778519UNINA
