Description
Book SynopsisPraise for At Your Own Risk "Every global company faces risks from all sides: competition, earthquakes, pandemics, or the practices of suppliers far down their value chain. Gary Lynch knows how hundreds of companies handle-or mishandle-risks, and he explains how the best of them find opportunities in the risks they face.
Trade Review"…Lynch draws on his vast experiences in operations, supply chain, and information technology risk management to provide a well-balanced, practical guide to contemporary risk assessment and management. Excellent vignettes, illustrations, and case studies complement the chapters." (
