Case Study(Risk Management)

Description

Because enterprise risks involved in company activities, including catastrophic risks, environmental risks, and legal risks, become more and more complicated, and may incur large losses on corporate cash flows, private companies are forced to hand such risks properly to protect their corporate value. In addition, private companies need to coordinate their activities with various kinds of interests of not only their stakeholders, but also the whole society in general.
This seminar class will address two issues: (1) in which kinds of conditions, the risks involved in corporate activities would be controllable, manageable, and accountable, (2) which kind of policy frameworks would improve incentives for private companies to control and finance such enterprise risks. For this purpose, this course attempts to bring up experts as well as researchers in both private and public sectors, who have advanced knowledge and abilities concerning risk management, and related policy issues associated with disaster, environmental, and liability risks, and create opportunities to discuss the above two issues among them and course attendants. Each attendant is required to submit one term paper based on a particular case of risk management.

Note: This class is limited to the students who have already finished "Risk Management and Public Policy" offered in the summer semester of 2008.
