Corporate Risk Management |
|

Most books on
corporate risk management are pretty useless. They take techniques of bank risk management and warm them over for corporate use—as if
every corporation's risks fit neatly into the Basel framework of market risk,
credit risk or operational risk. There is actually very little useful

 |
|
|
|
For Mary Pat McCarthy,

and websites; grab quotes from Mark Twain and George S. Patton; shake 'n
bake ... and out comes a book. This one advises senior managers and
board members on risk management ...
