- The
leading trends in corporations recently have been globalisation and heavy technology
investments. These changes have involved substantial risks - on a scale few
companies have previously taken.
Making Enterprise Risk
Management Pay Off examines not only financial risks, but risks in the corporation's core
business. The authors have spent time researching inside several leading companies
that have successfully managed this risk. Examples include Chase Manhatten, United
Grain Growers Limited, du Pont and Microsoft Corporation.
This book presents a highly
accessible, case-study approach to enterprise risk management. Designed for every
financial professional, it offers unprecedented insight into the processes and strategies
that have proven successful at the world's leading companies.
