     Summary

This book promotes good risk governance and risk management practices to corporate managers, executives, and directors wherever they operates around the world. The major corporate scandals have their roots in governance failure pointing to the link between risk governance and good performance outcomes. The volume focuses on contemporary risk leadership issues based on recent research insights but avoids excessive technical language and mathematical formulas. The book is framed around the challenges imposed on executives and directors in dealing with an increasingly complex and unpredictable world. The book addresses the potential for upside gains as much as the threats of downside losses that represents the conventional risk perspectives.
