No one knows this better than risk management expert James Lam. In Enterprise Risk From Incentives to Controls, Lam distills twenty years' worth of experience in this field to give you a clear understanding of both the art and science of enterprise risk management.

Thought this was an interesting read - I had never thought about risk mitigation as something that needs to be considered in a qualitative manner as well as a quantitative manner through culture, leadership, etc. This approach makes a lot of sense and it was very interesting to hear about the different ways it has been applied across various industries. Yes, I read this for school haha

This book was published in 2003, but it is still good for everyone who wants to understand the basic concepts of risk.

Buku yang telah lama dibaca, baru dituliskan dan dimasukkan sekarang. Untuk mengingat-mengingat saja bahwa pernah membaca buku ini. Buku hadiah krena terlalu nyinyir dalam suatu seminar. Menambah pengetahuan tentang konsep enterprise risk management yang saat ini telah sangat berkembang baik dalam COSO maupun ISO31000.
