Management

Managing Risk and Opportunity

---

Our ways met in early 2010 when the World Bank Group through the IFC Corporate Governance Unit decided to embark on a training program on risk governance for board members and senior managers with the aim of promoting good risk management practices linking corporate risk-taking with strategic decision-making. In preparing this work, we combined complementary insights from the corporate governance, corporate finance, and strategic management fields in fruitful collaboration within an academic frame spear-headed by Aswath Damodaran. We truly appreciate Aswath’s engagement in this development process and his generosity in sharing ideas, models, and frameworks. Many of his perspectives are apparent in this book and we acknowledge this influence with gratitude.
We also believe the current book has the potential to break new ground through its unique triangulation of three academic disciplines that seem to complement each other very well around the intensified focus on strategic risk governance. Corporate governance considers the fiduciary and forward-looking business responsibilities of the board, corporate finance provides the foundation for the risk analytical tech- niques with a strong logic for risk decisions, and strategic management lays out the frameworks that consider responsive actions in a changing risk landscape girded with uncertainty and unpredictability.
The book reflects a collaborative effort among us born from a long series of joint interventions although particular chapters are influenced by primary contributor(s) as noted: Chapter1, Maxine Garvey; Chapter2, Torben Andersen, Maxine Garvey, and Oliviero Roggi; Chapter 3, Oliviero Roggi; Chapter 4, Torben Andersen and Oliviero Roggi; Chapter 5, Torben Andersen. The Introduction and Postscript were framed by Torben Andersen but the manuscript in its entirety was structured, discussed, and scrutinized by us all.
