About the Summer School
INSIGHTS AND PARADOXES
The objective of risk management is to identify those risks that can lead to business failure and to implement effective strategies to manage them. This holds for any business sector but perhaps more for finance, innovation, information technologies and infrastructure projects, programs and policies. We will share with you fundamental concepts of risk management that enable you to understand their relevance to our modern society as well as to your own business undertakings.
Risk management is intricately related to other fields such as safety, security, decision making, governance, communication and this is naturally reflected in our courses’ subjects. Furthermore, our portfolio of contents covers inherent and contextual aspects of risk management, namely perception of risk and risk modeling, communication of risk and disaster management as well as conflict mediation and negotiation.
Specific modules are devoted to address very varied business sectors such as water and tunneling projects, cyber-crime and food safety. In these, real cases applications will be shown.
