Risk Management
Crosslisted with: INSR 805 910
This course explores the risk management decisions facing today’s
corporations, examining how such organizations manage and protect
their firm value from pure risks. The risks include such problem areas
as the destruction of assets or information, the growing expense of
employee retirement and health care programs, the disruptive effects
of potentially catastrophic liability suits, as well as the adverse impact
that these risks may have on corporate finance and governance.
The costs of these risks have recently prompted firms to dramatically
change the manner in which they deal with key organizational
stakeholders, as witnessed by recent changes in employee hiring and
compensation, stockholder relations, liability suits filed by consumers,
and the changing role of government in dealing with risk. This
course describes a set of tools and strategies useful in handling such
risks, and examines the key policy issues that will shape the way corporations
deal with such risks in the future.
