Risk appetite guide

by Mark Rowe

Risk appetite is driven by corporate governance requirements and senior managers’ need to make risk-based decisions. But despite the corporate interest, there is no consensus on what risk appetite is, how it should be expressed or measured, or how it can be practically used in business or projects. So say the authors of a short guide to the subject, the latest in the Gower business risk series of short paperbacks, as introductions to risk themes. Planned for 2013 are short guides to corruption; and kidnap and ransom, by Chris Flint.

In A Short Guide to Risk Appetite , David Hillson and Ruth Murray-Webster aim to cut through the confusion to produce clear definitions and simple guidelines, helping readers to answer the important question: How much risk should we take? Are you, your employer, your project board, risk-seeking? Tolerant? Neutral or averse?

Published in paperback on November 9, priced at £17.99, this is the latest book from Gower’s Short Guides to Business Risk series www.gowerpublishing.com/shortguidestorisk
