| The Reality of Precaution: Comparing Risk Regulation in the United States and Europe |
| edited by Jonathan B. Wiener, Michael D. Rogers, James K. Hammitt, and Peter H. Sand; February 2011; Hardcover ISBN-10 1933115866, ISBN-13 978-1933115863; Softcover ISBN-10 9781933115856, ISBN-13: 978-1933115856, ASIN: 1933115858 |
| The "precautionary principle" has sparked the central controversy over European and U.S. risk regulation. This groundbreaking resource presents the most comprehensive study to go beyond precaution as an abstract principle and test its reality in practice. The book's 20 chapters and 600 pages by 27 expert authors combine a dozen detailed case studies of a wide array of U.S. and European regulation of risks to health, safety, environment, and security over the past four decades; a broad quantitative analysis of relative transatlantic precaution regarding nearly 3,000 risks; and cross-cutting chapters on politics, law, and perceptions. The authors rebut the rhetoric of divergence or reversal in European and American approaches to risk regulation and show that the reality has been general parity, combined with the selective application of precaution to particular risks on both sides of the Atlantic. They also offer a constructive exchange of policy ideas toward better regulation. The book presents a new view of precaution, regulatory reform, comparative analysis, and transatlantic relations |

| The Project Success Method: A Proven Approach for Achieving Superior Project Performance in as Little as 5 Days |
| by Clinton M. Padgett; September 2009; ISBN-10 0470455837; ISBN-13 978-0470455838 |
| President and CEO of Atlanta-based consultancy
Project Success, Inc. CEO David Marx, an observer
of and an advisor to high consequence industries around the world for nearly
30 years, is convinced we’ve taken a bad turn with our preoccupation with
perfection in how we set expectations, design systems, and hold each other
accountable at both the governmental and individual level. "We are expecting
more and getting less," he says. In Whack-a-Mole, Marx uses insightful and often humorous stories, writing to regulators, attorneys, corporate CEOs, public policy makers, the media, and even parents. His book focuses on society’s tendency to demonize people who make mistakes that cause harm, while at the same time taking a "no harm, no foul" approach to even reckless behaviors that cause no undesirable outcome. "Our screwed-up notions of accountability are becoming an insurmountable barrier to better outcomes," says Marx. "It’s simply devolved into a game of Whack-a-Mole."

| The Social Contours of Risk (Volume 2): Risk Analysis, Corporations, and the Globalization of Risk (Risk, Society and Policy Series) |
| by Roger E. Kasperson; Earthscan Publications (April 2005); ISBN 1844071758 (paperback) |
| We live in a ‘risk society’ where the identification, distribution and management of risks, from new technology, environmental factors or other sources are crucial to our individual and social existence. In The Social Contours of Risk, Volumes I and II, two of the world’s leading and most influential analysts of the social dimensions of risk bring together their most important contributions to this fundamental and wide-ranging field. Volume II centres on the analysis and management of risk in society, in international business and multinationals, and globally. The ‘acceptability’ of risk to an individual depends on the context, whether the larger society or in, for example, a corporate framework. Their work clarifies the structures and processes for managing risks in the private sector and the factors that produce or impede effective decisions. The authors demonstrate that corporate culture is crucial in determining risk management. They analyse the transfer of corporate risk management systems from industrial to developing countries, and how globalization is spreading and creating new kinds of risk – the combination of traditional and modern hazards presented by climate change, technology transfer and economic growth. They describe the new priorities and capacities needed to deal with these enhanced vulnerabilities around the globe. |

| Hedge Fund Risk Fundamentals: Solving the Risk Management and Transparency Challenge |
| by Richard Horwitz; August 2004; ISBN 1576601633 |
| In the constantly evolving
hedge fund marketplace, nothing is more central—but in many ways, more
amorphous and elusive—than risk. Yet there remains no standard for
analyzing and measuring risk within this highly secretive, largely
unregulated field, leaving the thousands of hedge funds—and the tens of
thousands of hedge fund investors—in dangerously dim light. The industry
has not solved the "transparency" challenge—communicating risk
to investors without disclosing proprietary information.
This is the first book to bring these issues to the forefront. With clarity, concision, and minimal math, the author lays out the key components and the cutting-edge processes in the field of hedge fund risk management today. Against that backdrop he presents a groundbreaking utility destined to set the standard for transparency and risk management within the hedge fund universe. You'll learn why, when it comes to risk management, that 1 + 1 = 1.41. For all of those perplexed by the difficulties of assessing risk in hedge fund investing, the author's concepts make for an invaluable road map and a demystifying resource that hedge funds and investors at all levels will find indispensable. |

| How Safe Is Safe Enough?: Leadership, Safety and Risk Management |
| by Gregory Alston; January 2004; ISBN 075463891X |
| Safety is not easy, it is a full time effort and is equally important whether people are on the job or on personal time. If an organization is serious about mission success, it must take "risk" seriously as well. Leaders need to be involved in the risk game at every turn and understand the key elements (discussed throughout this book) that help them to win. Winning the risk game is what safety is all about. As in operational success, risk management requires the best human faculties to achieve victory; talent of organizational players and commitment from top leadership rule the day. This book is a broad-brush overview of the key elements, or tools, for leadership to use to manage risk effectively. Often, managers at various levels do not have an understanding of what goes into a safety programme, this book tells them, from an expert's view. It is also a supplemental textbook for safety and risk management courses. |

| Risk Transfer : Derivatives in Theory and Practice |
| by Christopher L. Culp; April 2004; ISBN 0471464988 |
| The use of derivatives to manage risk dates back nearly 4,000 years. And despite the current anti-derivatives uproar--fueled by the popular press, driven by well-regarded financiers, and accompanied by government proposals to prohibit, limit, tax, or further regulate derivatives--these irreplaceable instruments are in truth straightforward and vital to numerous financial practitioners and companies. This book provides a basic understanding of the driving economic theory behind derivatives and risk transfer, then examines the advanced application and implementation of derivative instruments by corporations and institutional investors. Building the book around his popular University of Chicago graduate course, the author explores three fundamental areas in the structure and use of derivatives: the economics of risk transfer; derivatives valuation and asset lending; and speculation and hedging. |

| Smart Things to Know about Risk Management |
| by Andrew Holmes; May 2004; ISBN 1841125075 |

This book, in a step-by-step approach, shows the reader what is risk management and why it matters, the categories of risk, how to achieve the right balance of risk, knowing your risk appetite, how to actively manage your risks and develop a risk culture and techniques, tools and models for managing risk.

| Value Added Risk Management in Financial Institutions : Leveraging Basel II & Risk Adjusted Performance Measurement |
| by David P. Belmont; March 2004; ISBN 0470821159 |
| The typical financial executives view of the value of risk management in their financial institution is based on the belief that risk management focuses on loss avoidance. This view is based on the history of risk management being control focused. However, risk management has evolved rapidly to address the more strategic issue of optimization of return on risk. This evolution has been accompanied by statistical, mathematical and financial techniques which when actively applied can direct an institution towards risk taking those activities, which produce disproportionately high returns on risk. The book aims to describe these techniques, illustrate their application, and discuss their strategic value in the management of financial institutions. |

| Early Warning: Using Competitive Intelligence to Anticipate Market Shifts, Control Risk, and Create Powerful Strategies |
| by Benjamin Gilad and Ben Gilad; September 2003; ISBN 0814407862 |
| Surprise is rarely a good thing in business. Unexpected developments range in their effects from inconvenient to disastrous. To avoid being blindsided, companies must develop a Competitive Early Warning system, or CEW, which combines strategic planning, competitive intelligence, and management action. Such systems let organizations manage risk more effectively and prevent "industry dissonance" -- when market realities outpace corporate strategies. This book reveals how to change strategy to meet new realities, learn from the mistakes of others via the book's eye-opening stories, avoid common tactics like benchmarking and using consultants, which may do more harm than good, and how to tell executives what they need to know -- not what they want to hear. Each chapter ends with a Manager's Checklist of key points, and the book includes numerous charts, tables, and tools. |

| Life-Cycle Costing: Using Activity-Based Costing and Monte Carlo Methods to Manage Future Costs and Risks |
| by Jan Emblemsvåg; March 2003; ISBN 0471358851 |
| As product life-cycles become increasingly shorter and product development increasingly capital-intensive, the distance between the point of decision and that of measurable result shrinks, making the consequences of erroneous decisions abundantly clear and severe. Life-Cycle Costing (LCC), originally developed by the U.S. Department of Defense and traditionally associated with engineering, provides a means of accurately anticipating the total costs a product will incur throughout its life cycle. By incorporating Activity-Based Costing, risk management, and Monte Carlo methods, the author now presents a method for applying the benefits of LCC to a broader range of businesses. "Activity-Based LCC" not only proves flexible, effective, and efficient for most cost management considerations but also handles risk and uncertainty in a credible fashion. |

| Dictionary of Financial Risk Management |
| by Gary L. Gastineau and Mark P. Kritzman; February 1999; ISBN: 1883249570 |
| Gary Gastineau teams up again with Mark Kritzman of Windham Capital Management for the third edition of this classic reference tool designed for professional financial analysts and managers. Financial risk management is the measurement and the attempt to control trade-offs between risks and rewards in profit and non-profit enterprises. Risk management terminology comes by many markets: cash, forwards/futures, swaps, options - and from many disciplines: profitability and statistics, tax and financial accounting, and law. The vocabulary of the risk manager continues to expand with the creation of new products and new concepts. This volume carefully defines and illustrates all the words and phrases that working finance professionals need to know and understand. Dictionary of Financial Risk Management includes listings of common acronyms, profit/loss diagrams of new financial instruments, and extensive coverage of derivatives and quantitative techniques. While admittedly not an exhaustive, general reference guide, the authors provide comprehensive definitions of the key terms and concepts that working financial analysts need to know on an every-day basis. |

| Environmental Health for All: Risk Assessment and Risk Communication for National Environmental Health Action Plans |
| edited by David J. Briggs, Richard M. Stern, Tim L. Tinker; December 1998; ISBN: 0792354524 |
| The development of National Environmental Health Action Plans (NEHAPs) has become a major initiative in Europe, with 51 countries now committed to introducing plans by the new millennium. This book is the first substantive attempt to review recent experience in formulating these plans, and to examine and assess the technical and psycho-sociological tools available to support such plans. It brings together results from four of the leading countries involved in NEHAP developments (Sweden, Czech Republic, Romania and Poland) and describes the techniques that were used to identify and prioritize key environmental issues, and to identify policy responses. It also provides an up-to-date review of the methods and tools available for risk assessment, risk communication and priority setting, which are relevant not only to NEHAPs but to environmental planning more generally, and to many other areas of public policy. The discussion of these techniques is supported by numerous case studies, and is concluded by a series of chapters reflecting on the conceptual and research issues that still need to be addressed. The book will thus be of interest and value to all those concerned with developing and applying environmental health policy, to environmental epidemiologists, and to students and practitioners in the wider area of public policy. |

| Implementing Credit Derivatives : Strategies and Techniques for Using Credit Derivatives in Risk Management |
| by Israel Nelken; June 1999; ISBN: 0070472378 |
| These hands-on guidelines for effective credit derivatives use are written by one of the industry's most authoritative derivatives experts. By allowing investors to unbundle credit risk from underlying instruments such as loans, bonds, or swaps, credit derivatives protect bond holders and lenders from the ever-present danger of issuer or borrower default. This relatively new asset class is on course to become a $1 trillion market by 2000. Confusion over how to effectively use these volatile instruments has been rampant, and investors have had difficulty getting trusted information and guidelines. But in this book, Israel Nelken - one of the world's leading authorities on credit derivatives, exotic options, and financial engineering - goes beyond the basics and theory of credit derivatives to explain their use in everyday financial engineering practice. This comprehensive treatment provides hands-on explanations and case studies that cover: the structure and mechanics of alternative credit derivative products; the mechanics of creating, analyzing, and valuing structured credit derivatives; successful strategies for trading and hedging credit derivatives; important yet easily overlooked regulatory and legal issues; similarities between credit derivatives and other financial instruments; when to use credit derivatives versus CBOs or CLOs - and why; regulatory and economic capital aspects; and how to use credit derivatives as a uniquely effective hedge in today's volatile emerging markets. |

| Managing Software Quality and Business Risk |
| Software development failures are invariably caused by a combination of circumstances - circumstances that are rarely technical in origin. Increasingly, standard risk management practices used in other industries are being applied to software development projects. At the same time, the software industry has worked to manage the quality of the software that is delivered to clients. In this book, readers will learn three principle techniques: risk planning, quality planning, and cost resource planning. These techniques are presented in an orderly and stepwise fashion which will help factor in both risk and quality during the development of a software project. |
