{"product_id":"risk-crisis-and-security-management-isbn-9780470867044","title":"Risk, Crisis and Security Management","description":"This book has two aims.  First, to consider how risk, crisis and security, may be linked in an organisational context.  Second, to review the role of, simulation and gaming in responding to these phenomena.  Historically, risk has been an established concept of academic interest for some time in both the pure and social sciences. Risk however, remains a subject of intense social and political controversy.  How we manage risk appears to dominate every debate from providing social services such as health, transport and public safety to the regulation of corporate activity.  Debates about the theory and practice of security management are less developed.  This book will inform the debate by considering the relationships between risk and security. \u003cp\u003eAims and Objectives ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The New Totems 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Theories of Risk and Organizational Failure 13\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Security: The New Corporate Totem 49\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Crisis 73\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Business Continuity Management 85\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Using Simulations and Games for Crisis Management 113\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 The Management of Risk, Crisis and Security 151\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix: Four Very Different Case Studies 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase study 1 – 11 September 2001 161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase study 2 – Business continuity training at a bank 164\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase study 3 – The King’s Cross underground fire 183\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCase study 4 – City University’s recovery from fire 203\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 209\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 235\u003c\/p\u003e \"...this book examines the links between risk, crisis and security management...\" (Supply Management, 6th October 2005) \u003cb\u003eEdward Borodzicz\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Risk and Crisis Management at Portsmouth Business School, and is also Director of the new Centre for Risk, Crisis and Security Management at the University of Portsmouth. \u003cb\u003eEdward Borodzicz\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Risk and Crisis Management at Portsmouth Business School, and is also Director of the new Centre for Risk, Crisis and Security Management at the University of Portsmouth  The risk and security industry has grown rapidly in recent years, largely as a consequence of increasing regulation and governance in many parts of the industrialized world. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRisk, Crisis and Security Management\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e not only considers how risk, crisis and security may be linked in an organizational context, but also reviews the role of simulation and gaming in responding to these phenomena.  \u003cp\u003eRisk remains a subject of intense social and political controversy.
