    Book SynopsisSimon Erb analysiert relevante Business-Continuity-Risiken, die entstehen, wenn Unternehmen kritische IT-Systeme an unabhängige Provider auslagern, und arbeitet mögliche risikomindernde Maßnahmen systematisch auf. Anhand von Fallstudien bei funf großen schweizer Unternehmen zeigt er auf, welche Maßnahmen diese Unternehmen tatsächlich umsetzen und welche Faktoren die Assimilation von BCM in Outsourcing-Beziehungen positiv beeinflussen. Mit Business Continuity Management stellen Unternehmen sicher, dass kritische Geschäftsprozesse beim Eintritt von schwerwiegenden Ereignissen fortgeführt werden können. Outsourcing führt dazu, dass nicht mehr alle Business-Continuity-Risiken direkt durch das auslagernde Unternehmen gesteuert werden können. Deshalb müssen diese Risiken gesondert berücksichtigt werden.Table of ContentsBusiness-Continuity-Risiken in ausgelagerten IT-Systemen.- BCM-Framework für ausgelagerte IT-Systeme.- Theorien zur Assimilation.- Resource Dependence Theory.- Institutioneller Isomorphismus.- High Reliability Theory.- Normal Accident Theory.

  • Assessing Risk Assessment: Towards Alternative

    Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Assessing Risk Assessment: Towards Alternative

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisChristian Hugo Hoffmann undermines the citadel of risk assessment and management, arguing that classical probability theory is not an adequate foundation for modeling systemic and extreme risk in complex financial systems. He proposes a new class of models which focus on the knowledge dimension by precisely describing market participants’ own positions and their propensity to react to outside changes. The author closes his thesis by a synthetical reflection on methods and elaborates on the meaning of decision-making competency in a risk management context in banking. By choosing this poly-dimensional approach, the purpose of his work is to explore shortcomings of risk management approaches of financial institutions and to point out how they might be overcome.

    Book SynopsisDas Buch vermittelt eine ganzheitliche Betrachtung des Risikomanagements und der organisationalen Resilienz anhand der Methode des Storytellings. Die Themen Risikomanagement, Krisenmanagement und Fehlermanagement werden von Unternehmen häufig unabhängig voneinander umgesetzt. Studien zur organisationalen Resilienz zeigen jedoch, dass eine Vernetzung aller drei Bereiche im Unternehmen der Schlüssel zum Erfolg sein kann.Diese Vernetzung gelingt am besten durch die Methode des Storytellings. Dabei werden Geschichten im Unternehmen strategisch genutzt, um fachlich relevante Informationen oder Prozessziele zu verdeutlichen oder Lösungswege aufzuzeigen. Damit können zum einen Traditionen, Werte und Unternehmenskultur vermittelt werden, aber auch durch die Arbeit mit Metaphern verborgene Konflikte aufgelöst werden. Denn Geschichten öffnen uns die Augen, verändern unsere Perspektive und dienen als praktische Handlungshilfen. Die Autoren beschreiben anschaulich und anhand von praxisorientierten Beispiel-Geschichten die Methode des Storytellings im Risiko-, Krisen- und Fehlermanagement und geben Tipps für die Entwicklung einer eigenen Geschichten-Datenbank.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Skills. - Capture.- Share.- Generate.- Storytelling-Toolbox.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisDie Bedeutung politischer Risiken in Industrieländern nimmt zu. In jüngerer Vergangenheit dominieren geopolitische Risiken, die fundamentale Ausmaße annehmen und den Bestand des Unternehmens, ganzer Branchen oder sogar Volkswirtschaften gefährden können. Ebenso treiben zunehmende Regelungsdichte und Staatsverschuldungen die politischen Risiken. Das Buch stellt einen praxiserprobten Ansatz zur Identifizierung und zum proaktiven Management politischer Risiken in Unternehmen vor. Neben Risikovermeidung und Risikoreduktion kann dieser Ansatz Unternehmen helfen, Wettbewerbsvorteile im Umgang mit diesen Risiken auszubauen. Ein besonderer Fokus des Buchs liegt auf politische Risiken in Industrieländern. Wie die vorgestellten Werkzeuge im eigenen Unternehmen zum Einsatz kommen können, zeigen anschaulich drei fiktive Unternehmen, ein Chemiekonzern, ein Stromerzeuger und ein Rohstoffhändler, die den Leser durch das gesamte Buch begleiten.

  • Global assessment report on disaster risk

    United Nations Global assessment report on disaster risk

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisGlobal warming will surpass 1.5êC above pre-industrial levels during the next decade, due to greenhouse gas emissions. The constant rise in temperatures and related impacts combine with other pressures, thus increasing risk and undermining resilience. The increasing interconnectedness of people and human systems increases the risk of compound and cascading crises. The maps in this report highlight a number of these resilience deficits that are holding back achievement of key sustainable development goals. At the same time, the report's action case examples show that this is not inevitable, and how action is possible on every continent to stop the worsening spiral of risk and disasters and to accelerate SDG target achievement. Addressing resilience gaps will require the unprecedented scaling-up of resilience investment and adaptation action both from within the public and private sectors, particularly for the most vulnerable countries. As these investments take time to mobilize and prepare, delay will increase the inevitable costs. Action is needed now. Disaster risk reduction sits at the nexus between development, humanitarian and climate change action, and can help foster more-sustainable resilient action in each. Readjusting development pathways requires a re-examination of how prosperity is measured, and a greater emphasis on resilience as key element of sustainable development today and in the future

  • Oxford University Press Organized Uncertainty

    Book SynopsisSince the mid-1990s risk management has undergone a dramatic expansion in its reach and significance, being transformed from an aspect of management control to become a benchmark of good governance for banks, hospitals, schools, charities, and many other organizations. Numerous standards for risk management practice have been produced by a variety of transnational organizations. While these many designs and blueprints are accompanied by ideals of enterprise, value production, and good governance, it is argued that the rise of risk management has also coincided with an intensification of auditing and control processes. The legalization and bureacratization of organizational life has increased because risk management has created new demands for proof and evidence of action. In turn, these demands have generated new risks to reputation. In short, this important book traces the rise of the managerial concept of risk and the different logics and values which underpin it, showing that it hasTrade ReviewPower's book is illuminating and bringing in the foreground a highly relevant topic for today businesses and society. As a preliminary exploration of the ideas embodied by risk management understood as risk governance, the book is really worth reading even if we will be missing the flavor of field studies, because Power's aim was so broad and ideational. Anyway, this book may help debunk many ideas about risk and risk management, written by a talented management accountant and philosopher. * Laurent Magne, Society and Business Review *...getAbstract recommends this informed and informative analysis to risk management professionals and professors who will appreciate Powers depth of knowledge. * getAbsract *Table of Contents1.
