Ltd. 2007Description: xviii, 388 p.ISBN: 9788131716281.Subject(s): Rick management | ManagementDDC classification: 658.155 Summary: "In finance and investing, risk has traditionally been viewed negatively - investors and companies can lose substantial money when risks go wrong and most books on enterprise risk management focus strictly on hedging or mitigating risk. However, great companies become great not because they avoid all risk but because they seek out and exploit intelligent risks. Aswath Damodaran's ""Strategic Risk Taking"" is the first book to take this broader view, encompassing both risk hedging at one end of the spectrum and strategic risk taking on the other. Damodaran helps readers separate good risks and opportunities from bad risks and possible threats, showing how to take advantage of the former while protecting against the latter. He introduces powerful financial tools for evaluating risk, and shows how to draw on other disciplines to make these tools even more effective. Along the way, you'll learn how to use risk to increase firm value, drive higher growth and returns, and create real competitive advantage."
