About this title

From the Publisher:

Provide students with a conceptual framework for a) making risk management and insurance decisions to increase business value and individual welfare, b) understanding insurance contracts and institutional features of the insurance industry, and c) understanding the effects of and rationale for public policies that affect risk and its allocation.
Provide students with broad knowledge of business risk management and public policy issues, with less emphasis on personal insurance contracts and issues, in order to better prepare students for their future roles as managers and citizens.
Acquaint students with the essential details of insurance contracts and insurance markets without providing extensive descriptions of numerous types of insurance contracts, emphasizing questions of "how" and "why" insurance contracts are designed and used and insurance markets function.
Enhance the ability of students to think analyticaly and critically and to solve problems in order to better prepare them to confront the myriad of opportunities and problems that confront managers in the real world.
