Risk Management. 2014 eabh annual conference - Rüschlikon 06/14

The term RISK has experienced inflationary use over the last years, resulting in a multitude of linguistic combinations. While everyday notions of risk are closely associated with danger and uncertainty, financial services, banking and insurance associate the term mainly with deviations from the expected. Such attempts aim at separating economic risk from uncertainty and at making risks insurable. They imply that risk can be quantified or measured and thus managed. Risk management in financial services is a relatively new concept. This conference aims to investigate the ways in which today's corporate risk management approaches came about. The conference is part of the 2014 eabh annual meeting. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Risk Management. Part 1. Oral history 8 am Introduction.
