We live in troubled times. Ordinary issues like
workers’ comp are flaring
up again, after years of relative calm; terrorism
and political risk—once worries only
for high-profile multinationals—are real threats
to any facility with a mail box. Risk management
has never been a more important part of business
decisions.
Are you prepared? With the Merritt
Risk Management Manual, you
will be. The Manual has been updated to
reflect the hard realities of the post-9/11 world.
But it remains the “encyclopedia of risk”—part
glossary, part primer, part graduate-level seminar.
Its sections include:
• a mathematical and statistical primer
on risk management;
• an overview of the commercial lines
insurance markets—how they work and
how their claims are processed;
• a review of specialty insurance
markets—and where you can find effective,
though little-known coverage;
• strategies for building layers of insurance
and self-insurance protection;
• a legal perspective on
risk;
• how progressive management can minimize
any organization’s chances of loss;
• an experienced guide to disaster
management;
• sections dedicated to risk issues in specific
industry sectors; and
• a comprehensive exposure
inventory and vulnerability assessment tool.
Many subscribers say that the
exposure inventory is, itself, worth
the price of subscription. We say the whole
Manual
serves as a consultant-in-a-box, ready to answer
detailed and technical questions at a moment’s
notice, 24/7/365.
