Springer Leadership for Risk Management: Navigating the Haze with Modern Techniques (Future of Business and Finance)

The market is like the sea: it gives, and it takes away. That became apparent once again when the economy and society went into “lockdown” due to the coronavirus outbreak. Organizations will either sink or swim, and only the pros will be able to keep their heads above water. This is a self-help book for managers, supervisors and administrators who see themselves as skippers at the helm of an organization in times of turbulence, uncertainty and complexity. It provides a number of the latest handy management models, such as the Three-Phase Model, Governance Model and Management Matrix, which help leaders and managers arrive at well thought-out risk management decisions. In addition, the practical cases and discussion questions in each chapter help readers implement these models in their organizations.  The book is an English translation of the Dutch book ‘Varen in de mist’, which was nominated for the Dutch Management Book of the Year.
