"The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 and the Enron scandal both highlighted the importance of risk management and insurance. Giving particular attention to the market's increased sense of vulnerability and the newest technologies, Risk Management and Insurance provides a clear introduction to the complexities of this field. With chapters on topics such as e-risks and enterprise risk and a focus on connecting each chapter into the bigger picture, Baranoff's approach is to show students how the latest developments and the field's traditional approaches fit together."--Publisher description.
