Descripton

The purpose of this book is to change thinking about crises and risk. isk management is toda both a great success, an impressive achievement, and a notable ailure. t works, and it doesn t work. t saves lives and propert , and it ails to save lives and propert . t helps and it hinders. Like all such management approaches, this has a lot to do with how it is emplo ed and practced, but in the case o risk management there is also a much more undamental issue. he risk management ramework, the risk management model, is wrong. an organisatons toda treat all risks as point events, when the real risks involve s stemic threats inherent in the global econom , and the uncertain nature o global societ .

he book argues that risk management has come a long wa , but that evidence o its more recent ailure is now all around us and that it needs to now change dramatcall i it is to accommodate current realites. Whilst there is a clear need or us all to manage risk through a crisis, there is a lack o understanding o the nature o crises that is impeding progress. s well as providing a conceptual basis or changing the wa risk management is undertaken, the book provides a blueprint or managing at organisatonal level through a global crisis, and, to a more limited e tent, at government and other levels how to prepare, what to do when it s happening and how and when to emerge into the post crisis world.

How Mathematcs, Physics, and Chemistry Constrain Society

Alexander Scheeline University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA

Endorsement

“Following Alex Scheeline’s excitng cruise among the wonders of modern science that starts with measurements and ends with politcs, business, research, and freedom will surprise an open mind not only by consequences of the logical constructons, but also by the miracles of self-consistent scientfc journeys and beauty of amazing discoveries. I absolutely recommend this book for amateur science enthusiasts with a keen interest in metrology.”

Peter Strizhak Professor of Chemistry, Natonal Academy of Sciences, Ukraine
