Publisher's Synopsis

Risk Assessment and Decision Making in Business and Industry: A Practical Guide presents an accessible treatment of the procedures and technologies involved in designing and building risk-assessment processes and models.
Areas examined include:

  • brokerage-house portfolio management
  • legal decision making
  • construction
  • oil/gas exploration
  • environmental assessments
  • engineering
  • marketing
  • government
  • manufacturing
    The entire volume is presented as a narrative, keeping statistical jargon to a minimum and explaining all concepts, techniques, and processes in a straightforward manner.
    The author emphasizes that the technical aspects of a risk-assessment and decision-making effort are secondary to the cultural, organizational, and interpersonal facets of establishing a framework.
    "Practical" is the operative term throughout the text. Risk Assessment and Decision Making in Business and Industry: A Practical Guide enables readers who are not risk experts to effect an easy execution of the risk model building effort.
