| Summary, etc |
"The Failure of Risk Management is about a serious problem in the business of risk analysis and how to fix it. Basic analysis methods are unused, or misapplied, in many major corporate and government decisions. This book shows how some of the most popular "risk analysis" methods are no better than astrology -they are not based on anything an actuary or statistician would recognize as sound, quantitative analysis. Businesses, governments, and the public have completely unrealistic perceptions of risk, currently. This book addresses proper risk methodology, to educate decision makers across industries. This new edition will include new examples citing recent events (e.g. hurricanes and data breaches), new statistical methods, and updated data"-- |

| Summary, etc |
A practical guide to adopting an accurate risk analysis methodology<br/><br/>The Failure of Risk Management provides effective solutionstosignificantfaults in current risk analysis methods. Conventional approaches to managing risk lack accurate quantitative analysis methods, yielding strategies that can actually make things worse. Many widely used methods have no systems to measure performance, resulting in inaccurate selection and ineffective application of risk management strategies. These fundamental flaws propagate unrealistic perceptions of risk in business, government, and the general public. This book provides expert examination of essential areas of risk management, including risk assessment and evaluation methods, risk mitigation strategies, common errors in quantitative models, and more. Guidance on topics such as probability modelling and empirical inputs emphasizes the efficacy of appropriate risk methodology in practical applications. <br/><br/>Recognized as a leader in the field of risk management, author Douglas W. Hubbard combines science-based analysis with real-world examples to present a detailed investigation of risk management practices. This revised and updated second edition includes updated data sets and checklists, expanded coverage of innovative statistical methods, and new cases of current risk management issues such as data breaches and natural disasters.<br/><br/>Identify deficiencies in your current risk management strategy and take appropriate corrective measures<br/>Adopt a calibrated approach to risk analysis using up-to-date statistical tools<br/>Employ accurate quantitative risk analysis and modelling methods<br/>Keep pace with new developments in the rapidly expanding risk analysis industry<br/>Risk analysis is a vital component of government policy, public safety, banking and finance, and many other public and private institutions. The Failure of Risk Management: Why It's Broken and How to Fix It is a valuable resource for business leaders, policy makers, managers, consultants, and practitioners across industries. |
