Risk is the lifeblood of a corporation. Businesses spends trillions of dollars each year to address their risk exposures. It provides the opportunity to turn a profit, but raises the specter of ruin. Managers often tackle risk head-on wherever it appears. How can the management of this myriad of risks be brought into some common framework for consistency and efficiency? Shimpi shows how the most important step managers within an organization can take is to adopt the same framework that embraces a common view of risk. The framework Shimpi reveals should allow each manager to express the risks he or she faces and its consequences to the whole firm. It allows a bottom-up assessment of risk that results in a corporate-wide risk management perspective. The major objective of this book is to help managers understand emerging risk management techniques in a constantly changing business landscape. Features examples and case studies thoroughout.

 Nothing really new
This book seems to be a marketing effort.There's nothing really new, and no new concept. It may be of some interest if you know nothing about Risk Management. If you are not a begginer, it's a waste of money and time.
 Packed With Knowledge!
Many corporate officers deal with risk, from treasurers and risk managers to CFOs. But since each department faces risks of a different type, risk management in many cases is an ad hoc affair. Prakash Shimpi's vision of integrated risk management not only consolidates the risk-management practices of an entire firm, but also blends capital management and risk management into a single, cohesive framework. This framework is the centerpiece of Shimpi's book, which also provides readers with a comprehensive look at current risk-management practices, old and new tools for managing risk, and likely future developments in the field. While the topic at hand is complex and built of often-unfamiliar jargon, Shimpi manages to present the material in an accessible and engaging manner that will satisfy financial experts but won't intimidate novices. We [...] recommend this book not only to the obvious audience of risk managers, treasurers and c-level executives, but also to mid-level managers and students, who will need an increasingly sophisticated understanding of the topic as risk management becomes an ever-larger component of basic corporate strategy.
