Summary |
As industrial technology advances toward a second industrial revolution, increasing the complexity of the modern business enterprise and subjection much greater values in plant and equipment to a multiplicity of risks, the insurance fraternity is confronted with tremendous new areas of challenge. The trend toward providing insurance coverage on an all-risk basis in lieu of the named-peril approach is one response already in evidence. The economics involved in dealing with risks suggests that a corporation requires a total-risk-oriented insurance manager, thus giving rise to the term risk manager.
