DYNM 604 - Organizational Risk Management

Institution:

University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Combrinck-Graham. We will examine our involvement in risk management in our organizations and discuss whether our organizations manage risk as they manage opportunity. The first half of the course will focus on risk management's decisional and managerial aspects. During the second half of the course, we will apply these concepts to case studies as preparation for your presentation on managing risk in your particular organization. This course should provide you with a framework for addressing risk in your organization and perhaps in your personal life. You will also strengthen your understanding of your appetite for risk and that of your organization under different circumstances. Risk management is a function rather than a specific position. It should be practiced by many levels of management, with coordination and guidance from a senior level. Risk management is a planning and strategic function, not solely an assessment, financial or safety function. Risk management prepares for an uncertain tomorrow, just as long-range planning deals with the futurity of present decisions.
