Produktbeschreibung

Engaging Risk: A Guide for College Leaders offers presidents, provosts, deans, senior administrators, and faculty leaders a road map for establishing a first-rate program of risk management at their institution. Presenting risk governance as an important component of leadership, Engaging Risk adapts the central concepts of Enterprise Risk Management to a new world very different from the corporations for which ERM was designed. Of special interest to the leaders of small to mid-size liberal arts colleges, this guide takes its readers on a lively campus tour of risk, and provides them with step-by-step plans to identify, evaluate, and manage the most important risks faced by their college.
