Details of Risk Management Assignment

Title: ‘The Role of Risk Management in Modern Organisations’

(Provide your own subtitle)

Guidelines: The generic title of the paper allows students a broad subject area from
which to develop their knowledge of the field of risk management. A
starting point for this paper should be the readings that form the
introductory phase of the module (Beck, 2002; Houck, 2010; Leveson,
2007). Students are encouraged to use the references in these articles, or
other pieces of academic research to frame the early part of their paper.
The middle and final sections of the in-term paper should focus on how this
academic research informs current practice, past examples of risk
management failures or design of risk management process in a particular
firm or industry. Again, students have freedom here to focus on areas that
they are most familiar with, or they may wish to develop their knowledge
of a particular industry.
