Description

We will examine our involvement in risk management in our organizations and discuss whether our organizations manage risk as they manage opportunity. The first half of the course will focus on risk management's decisional and managerial aspects. During the second half of the course, we will apply these concepts to case studies as preparation for your presentation on managing risk in your particular organization. This course should provide you with a framework for addressing risk in your organization and perhaps in your personal life. You also will strengthen your understanding of your appetite for risk and that of your organization under different circumstances.

Requirements

Participants will be assigned readings to prepare in detail to facilitate each class discussion.
Deliver a presentation to the class during one of the last two classes.
Prepare a paper on an issue in your organization for which you will apply concepts from the course.
