About The Book
Risk Management in Organizations provides a comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of risk management, which is crucial for the success of any organization, from government bodies to small businesses. The discipline has evolved rapidly, and this book uses a blend of theory and practice to illustrate the key lessons learned from the successes and failures of others.

The early chapters compare the ISO 31000 and COSO Enterprise Risk Management frameworks and outline the regulatory environments in Europe and the United States. The core of the book features detailed case studies from different sectors: manufacturing (Akzo Nobel), retail (Tesco), and public services (Birmingham City Council). These case studies provide valuable insights into real-world risk management practices.

New in this edition are updated chapters on current risk management challenges, including the rise of technology-related risks and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Through these lessons, Margaret Woods offers four crucial takeaways for risk managers aiming to build a robust, enterprise-wide risk management system.

This book is an essential resource for risk management professionals, as well as postgraduate and executive learners looking to deepen their understanding of the complexities of modern risk management practices.
