QUOTES "It's difficult to write a book that serves both academia and practitioners, but this text provides a firm foundation for novices and a valuable reference for experienced professionals."--Security Management Magazine "The authors…bring the subject to life with rich teaching and learning features, making it an essential read for students and practitioners alike." – Phil Review "It's difficult to write a book that serves both academia and practitioners, but this text provides a firm foundation for novices and a valuable reference for experienced professionals." --Security Management Magazine The big problem with many books on risk management is their highly specialized nature. This book is designed primarily as a textbook, but is likely to prove useful to anyone who wants a basic grounding in dealing with natural disasters. It summarizes international standards and best practices, then goes on to offer a chapter-by-chapter discussion of key areas such as IT and emergency management. It also draws a clear distinction between risk management, how to foresee and prevent problems, and business continuity, which tends to deal with consequences. Two case studies, a service company and a manufacturer, are examined throughout the book to illustrate the move from theory to practice --In the Black,digital newsletter of the Certified Public Accountants of Australia --CPAAustralia As our world becomes ever more turbulent, the field of business continuity and risk management increases in importance, often warranting Board-level attention.
