Description
This text examines risk management in organizations, rather than personal insurance, and offers a balanced presentation of institutional and statistical material. The book provides a problem-solving approach to the subject and is student-centred with examples and cases. It includes material relevant to private, public and non-profit organizations and examines personal benefits, such as life and health insurance and pensions within the context of the organization.
