Managing business risks in the 21st century New Economy is very different to managing risk in the closing years of the 20th century. Whereas, in the past, risk management used to be confined to finance and operational functions such as crisis management, today's smart companies know that survival and growth involves managing a whole raft of risks posed by external stakeholders, the knowledge explosion and the new economy.

In her enlightening new book, Pamela Shimell talks to top managers from the world's leading multinationals who have successfully managed these challenges to corporate survival as well as some that have had a baptism of fire.



The Universe of Risk provides a comprehensive, colourful guide to risk management, incorporating the new drivers of risk, and a fresh model for business success.
