Year: 2010 Language: english Author: Terje Aven Genre: Reference book Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Ltd Format: PDF Quality: OCR without errors Pages count: 252 Description: The book is about fundamental issues in risk analysis and risk management, and it provides recommendations and guidance in this context. It is, however, not a recipe book, and does not tell you which risk analysis methods should be used in different situations. What is covered is the general thinking process related to the understanding of risk, and how we should describe, analyse, evaluate, manage and communicate risk. Examples are provided to illustrate the ideas.
