Enterprise Risk Management : Modern Approaches to Balancing Risk and Reward
This textbook demonstrates how Enterprise Risk Management creates value in strategic- and decision-making-processes.The author introduces modern approaches to balancing risk and reward based on many examples of medium-sized and large companies from different industries.Since traditional risk management in practice is often an independent stand-alone process with no impact on decision-making processes, it is unable to create value and ties up resources in the company unnecessarily.Herewith, he serves students as well as practitioners with modern approaches that promote a connection between ERM and corporate management.The author demonstrates in a didactically appropriate manner how companies can use ERM in a concrete way to achieve better risk-reward decisions under uncertainty.Furthermore, theoretical and psychological findings relevant to entrepreneurial decision-making situations are incorporated.This textbook has been recommended and developed for university courses in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Risk
From the co-publisher of acclaimed poetry press Omnidawn, Risk engages directly with limitations, both those that structure the literal form of the poems and literary form and those that are both unavoidable and self-inflicted.In Risk, award-winning poet Rusty Morrison uses a constraining form of seven-syllable segments with breaks between to explore questions of limitation.In these poems, she is not just writing about constraints, but living inside and seeing how to manage them.In this way, the speaker of these poems actively experiences limitations as event, not aftermath.Drawing on the idea of philosopher and critic Hélène Cixous who writes that "the border makes up the homeland, it prohibits and gives passage in the same stroke," in Risk Morrison aims where the border and framings she uses offer understanding and where boundaries should be pushed against and passed beyond, as frightening as that might be.

Risk
Risk compensation postulates that everyone has a "risk thermostat" and that safety measures that do not affect the setting of the thermostat will be circumvented by behaviour that re-establishes the level of risk with which people were originally comfortable.It explains why, for example, motorists drive faster after a bend in the road is straightened.Cultural theory explains risk-taking behaviour by the operation of cultural filters.It postulates that behaviour is governed by the probable costs and benefits of alternative courses of action which are perceived through filters formed from all the previous incidents and associations in the risk-taker's life.; "Risk" should be of interest to many readers throughout the social sciences and in the world of industry, business, engineering, finance and public administration, since it deals with a fundamental part of human behaviour that has enormous financial and economic implications.

Which risk do you prefer: normal risk or deluxe risk?
I prefer normal risk because it allows for a balance between potential reward and potential loss. Deluxe risk may offer higher potential rewards, but it also comes with a higher likelihood of significant loss. Normal risk allows for a more conservative approach to managing potential risks and rewards, which aligns with my preference for stability and security.

Should I take a second risk and risk a second rejection?
Taking a second risk and risking a second rejection can be a difficult decision. It's important to consider the potential benefits of taking the risk, as well as the potential consequences of facing rejection again. If the potential rewards outweigh the potential negative outcomes, and if you believe that the risk is worth taking, then it may be worth considering taking the second risk. However, it's also important to take into account your emotional well-being and to consider whether you are prepared to handle another rejection. Ultimately, the decision to take a second risk is a personal one and should be carefully considered based on your individual circumstances.

Would you risk it?
As an AI, I do not have the capacity to take risks or make decisions based on emotions or personal preferences. However, I can provide information and analysis to help individuals make informed decisions about whether or not to take risks based on their own circumstances and risk tolerance. Ultimately, the decision to take a risk depends on the potential benefits, the likelihood of success, and the individual's willingness to accept the potential consequences.

Risk
We are living in a world in which the existence of risk is constantly debated, misinformation and disinformation are rife and spread quickly and easily through online media, and where governments and institutions continue to avoid taking decisive action even when there is general agreement that a serious threat exists.Understanding how people, social groups and social organizations understand, respond to and act on threats, hazards and dangers is more important than ever.In Risk, Deborah Lupton asserts the ongoing importance of the analysis of risk in our age of permacrisis and mounting scepticism about experts and science, calling for a ‘re-turn’ to risk theory in the social sciences. The book outlines the three major approaches to risk in social and cultural theory, devoting a chapter to each.The first approach draws upon the work of Mary Douglas to articulate the cultural/symbolic perspective on risk.The second approach is that of the risk society perspective, based on the writings of Ulrich Beck and Anthony Giddens.The third approach covered is that of the governmentality perspective, which builds on Michel Foucault’s work.Three other chapters examine in detail the relationship between concepts of risk and concepts of selfhood and the body, the notion of Otherness and how this influences the ways in which people respond to and think about risk, and the pleasures of voluntary risk-taking, including discussion of edgework.An entirely new chapter has been added to this edition, focusing on the risks posed by misinformation and denial in the context of climate change and the COVID-19 pandemic.This chapter discusses the politics of post-truth cultures and the powerful networks of actor and organizations that together work to challenge science and manufacture dissent against attempts to tackle these crises. This new edition of Risk is an essential introduction to the topic of risk for students and academics in the social sciences and humanities.

X-Risk
How humanity came to contemplate its possible extinction. From forecasts of disastrous climate change to prophecies of evil AI superintelligences and the impending perils of genome editing, our species is increasingly concerned with the prospects of its own extinction.With humanity's future on this planet seeming more insecure by the day, in the twenty-first century, existential risk has become the object of a growing field of serious scientific inquiry.But, as Thomas Moynihan shows in X-Risk, this preoccupation is not exclusive to the post-atomic age of global warming and synthetic biology.Our growing concern with human extinction itself has a history.Tracing this untold story, Moynihan revisits the pioneers who first contemplated the possibility of human extinction and stages the historical drama of this momentous discovery.He shows how, far from being a secular reprise of religious prophecies of apocalypse, existential risk is a thoroughly modern idea, made possible by the burgeoning sciences and philosophical tumult of the Enlightenment era.In recollecting how we first came to care for our extinction, Moynihan reveals how today's attempts to measure and mitigate existential threats are the continuation of a project initiated over two centuries ago, which concerns the very vocation of the human as a rational, responsible, and future-oriented being.
