INTRODUCTION
Insurance, which started 3900 years ago
in Mesopotamia, is one of the oldest strategies
for dealing with risks. In 1950 B.C., the Code of
Hamurabi formalized bottomry contracts
containing a risk premium for the chance of loss
of ships and cargo. By 750 B.C., Greeks also
practiced bottomry. In 1583, the first life
insurance policy was issued in England. In
contemporary society, insurance has developed
to deal with a wide variety of phenomena
associated with adverse effects, from health
insurance to mortgage insurance. 1
Risks can impact an organisation in the
short, medium and long term. These risks are
related to operations, tactics and strategy,
respectively. Strategy sets out the long-term
aims of the organisation, and the strategic
planning horizon for an organisation will
typically be 3, 5 or more years. Tactics define
how an organisation intends to achieve change.
Therefore, tactical risks are typically associated
with projects, mergers, acquisitions and product
developments. Operations are the routine
activities of the organisation.2
