Bøker av Les Coleman

Outlines the nature and sources of risk in firms. This book sets out a body of risk knowledge to support its management, particularly at the corporate level, in much the same way that our understanding of human physiology and the physical sciences support modern medical and engineering techniques.

The book answers a simple question: when managers and companies face a decision with two outcomes that are safe and risky, what leads them to choose the risky alternative? The book then gathers real-world evidence using two surveys of senior managers and directors to analyze why they take risks, and how companies control risks.
