RISK MANAGEMENT AND INSURANCE
NIEHAUS H. wydawnictwo: MCGRAW-HILL , rok wydania 2004, wydanie II cena netto: 280.00 Twoja cena 266,00 zł + 5% vat - dodaj do koszyka For many years,
introductory insurance textbooks presented insurance as a subject based in contracts.
Slowly, the course has moved toward a consumer orientation, providing students with a
broad, descriptive survey of the insurance field, covering topics such as legal aspects,
life and health, and property and liability. Over the past 10 years, textbooks began to
promote, and to a limited degree, incorporate a stronger business risk management
component while maintaining a consumer orientation. Harrington/Niehaus' Risk Management
and Insurance 2e is written to take the next step offering the essential aspects of
insurance contracts and the insurance industry while providing a substantially more
conceptual analysis and attention to business risk management and public policy issues
that exists in current texts.
