Course content, structure and pedagogical approach

This course introduces risk management form a corporate perspective. It will help to identify and manage risk with a view towards improving a firm’s risk position. It will show which result the absence of such methods can have on a corporate outcome. In practice, risk management refers to structured processes of avoiding, reducing or managing events that can damage individual organizations. To highlight its practical applicability, we will use cases to highlight and exercise the key concepts and frameworks introduced in the course. The course will start with the nature of risk management and its strategic importance. We will go through economic factors impacting the risk of an organization and show ways to manage it. The focus on different risk management practices will lead us to some critique on established enterprise risk management frameworks.

Feedback during the teaching period
Students receive continuous feedback in the sessions where they are asked to apply concepts of Risk Management to problem statements. During class, we discuss concepts, and students are actively involved in the discussion, giving them the opportunity to get direct feedback on their way of thinking about corporate finance theories and concepts.
Throughout the application of quizzes in canvas, the students get after making a quiz direct feedback from the teacher or the system.

The exercises, quizzes, and discussions are linked to some of the learning objectives of this course, meaning that feedback activities can help you familiarize yourself with the assessment method of the course as well as to provide you with a clear indication of the standards expected from your work. Further feedback by teachers is offered in response to questions by individual students or groups. Students are at all times able to reach the teacher by email to ask questions or schedule meetings if needed.
