Summary of content

The module aims to examine the role of the risk management and its practical implementation within a range of commercial and public sector organisations. It builds on the already developed general knowledge in the area of risk during the first year, and goes beyond it by combining more rigorous academic framework with practically oriented topical risk management issues and case studies. The syllabus focusses on contemporary risk management concepts and ideas, which are equally important for public and private sector organisations.
