内容简介

Operational Risk Management offers peace of mind to business and government leaders who want their organizations to be ready for any contingency, no matter how extreme. This invaluable book is designed to be used as both a preparatory resource for when times are good and an emergency reference when times are bad. Author Mark Abkowitz gets managers up to speed on what they should be prepared to deal with and offers real solutions for putting those business continuity plans in place. From natural and man-made disasters to terrorist attacks, Operational Risk Management is destined to become every risk manager's ultimate weapon to help their organization survive — no matter what.

Using fascinating case studies, this timely book examines risk from worldwide disasters and their underlying causes from three perspectives: manmade accidents, terrorist acts, and natural disasters

Examines whether each event could have been prevented

Shows how these casualty events share many risk factors in common, regardless of whether their occurrence is an act of nature, accidental, or intentional

Uses historical events to demonstrate how operational risk management practices (or lack of)

influence event likelihood and outcomes across all hazard domains

Discusses lessons learned that risk managers can use to ensure they have strong plans in place
