It is designed to provide students with a thorough knowledge for the practical application of risk management principles, techniques and methods utilized by large corporate and governmental organizations. The course will emphasize risk at the strategic and enterprise level in a global context reflecting the emergence of globalization and the risks encountered in international business and monetary transactions, commerce and transportation. Students will apply methods utilized in risk management to identify, analyze, evaluate, control, manage, forecast and finance global enterprise risks. Operational risks common to large business and government organizations and ways of transferring and funding risks are explored.
