Managing Business Risks In The Information Age

This book provides a framework for identifying, sourcing, measuring and monitoring business risks in general and IT-related risks more specifically. Although many companies have processes in place to deal with some of the more traditional business risks such as credit, market and liquidity risks, information technology has traditionally been relegated to the 'back office'. This book shows how companies must manage information technology as a business risk in order to operate effectively. The findings presented here are drawn from 150 survey responses from senior executives in North America, Europe and Asia. The mix of companies in the study comprises large multinationals, as well as small- to medium-sized firms.
