Pressestimmen

Power's book is illuminating and bringing in the foreground a highly relevant topic for today businesses and society. As a preliminary exploration of the ideas embodied by risk management understood as risk governance, the book is really worth reading even if we will be missing the flavor of field studies, because Power's aim was so broad and ideational. Anyway, this book may help debunk many ideas about risk and risk management, written by a talented management accountant and philosopher. Laurent Magne, Society and Business Review ...getAbstract recommends this informed and informative analysis to risk management professionals and professors who will appreciate Powers depth of knowledge. getAbsract

Kurzbeschreibung

Since the mid-1990s risk management has undergone a dramatic expansion in its reach and significance, being transformed from an aspect of management control to become a benchmark of good governance for banks, hospitals, schools, charities, and many other organizations. Numerous standards for risk management practice have been produced by a variety of transnational organizations. While these many designs and blueprints are accompanied by ideals of enterprise, value production, and good governance, it is argued that the rise of risk management has also coincided with an intensification of auditing and control processes. The legalization and bureacratization of organizational life has increased because risk management has created new demands for proof and evidence of action. In turn, these demands have generated new risks to reputation. In short, this important book traces the rise of the managerial concept of risk and the different logics and values which underpin it, showing that it has much less to do with real dangers and opportunities than might be thought, and more to do with organizational accountability and legitimacy.

The myth of risk management 8. Dezember 2008
Von G. ACarleton - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
This is an important book, the likes of which I have not seen before. My take-away is that there is a need in the business world to create an illusion that their risk management practices in place are sound and follow best practices, thus good risk governance exists (stakeholders are demanding this be demonstrated). That illusion once created allows the organization to go about their business with no ongoing pressure to further demonstrate they are deploying risk management practices (i.e., they are compliant). As opposed to the core principles for how to improve on existing risk management inherently manages company risks better (i.e., enterprise risk management). In fact, approaches to risk management to date can actually increase or create risks per this book. Because companies have for years been considering risks in the process of managing the business, the very recent effort to evolve risk management into a profession could be said to be coming from those who profit from offering risk management consulting services, the benefits of which are highly suspect, except again to be able to demonstrate practices are in place for compliance. Regulators get sucked up into the myth by themselves internally adopting the same risk frameworks they are evaluating in firms they regulate, and thus the risk framework becomes so embedded into the overall mindset, it is just assumed these best practices offer value.

My take away is that the nature of risk is such that the very recent labeling risk management as a profession is a myth with motives that are self-serving. The book goes into detail why risk management practices do not do what they purport to do, why risks cannot be managed like other disciplines can in management. Still, risk assessments can offer value, and as such a firm can learn how far to take their risk management practices before they should be concerned they are going through the motions, creating an illusion of managing risks. Tallib's book on the Black Swan compliments the theme of this book, which I would summarize is that the risk management profession is pulling the wool over a lot of eyes. Even if you disagree with the conclusion, the book would make anyone think through their assumptions, whether they are really managing something that inherently is so hard to manage.

A useful history of the move from risk analysis to risk management 7. Dezember 2008
Von Craig Matteson - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
This book has a useful part and a part whose use eludes me. I enjoyed Michael Power's history of how what used to be called risk analysis has been transmogrified, step-by-step, into risk management. However, the author also seems to not trust the basic goodness of ideas and feels the need to dress them up into academic jargon and neologisms and the oddest kind. Have you ever heard of or used the words scientificity or scientization? I didn't think so. I haven't either. And I am not a big fan of the European need to solve any and every problem with more regulation, bureaucracy, and experts to help you do without having to think or create.

Still, I think the author does identify a central issue quite well and the current global economic meltdown seems to make Professor Powers a bit of a prophet.

While the language of the book is too dense for the general reader, any businessperson who is interested in these topics should muscle their way through it whether or not you end up agreeing with the author's prescriptions.

An academic argument for transforming risk management to risk governance 19. August 2009
Von Rolf Dobelli - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
Michael Power takes an academic look at how risk analysis has become risk management since the 1990s and how the present demand for greater business accountability is turning risk management into risk governance. The ideas in the book are solid, and not as opaque as Power's academic argot ("managerialization," "scientificity," "scientization") may make them seem. Constant explanations of detailed studies and risk models become somewhat complex for the general reader, but getAbstract recommends this informed and informative analysis to risk management professionals and professors who will appreciate Power's depth of knowledge.
