Summary |
The book looks at the whole question of risk analysis. It starts with individual people and examines their attitude to risk and then moves on to the more objective ground of identification methodologies and statistical risk analysis. It concludes, as it started, with people and the communication of the results of risk analysis by means of reports.
Those who are new to the business of risk analysis will find that they are unfamiliar with many of the concepts in this book. They are however concepts which are widely used in industry. It is worthwhile remembering that the techniques of risk identification and analysis are practical and not theoretical tools. They had their origin in solving practical problems and so while you may not use all of them they nevertheless have their part to play. It is not possible to cover every industry type and so readers will have to take the basic theory and apply it to their own industry as best they can. However, risk analysis is important in its own right quite apart from any particular form of risk or individual industry
