Global Risk Management: Evolving Issues and Approaches
http://www.cba.bgsu.edu/lsib/html/grmhome.html
Hyatt Regency, Cleveland
17-18 April, 2002

Conference Theme:
Corporations have always been concerned about risk in foreign markets, more so during periods of economic downturn. After the tragic events of September 11, risk issues have been forced higher up on corporate hierarchies and agendas and a consensus seems to be emerging that yesterday???s risk management approaches may no longer be adequate. In addition, there is a growing recognition among senior executives, consultants, and scholars that risk has both a negative and a positive role in generating and sustaining shareholder value. The conference will therefore also explore the relationship between well-managed risk and improved corporate performance.

A key feature of the conference is that most topics are covered by both scholarly and practitioner presentations.

Conference Topics:
Enterprise Risk Management and Shareholder Value
Political Risk Management
Country Risk management
Financial Risk Management
Managing Internet Security and Online Risk
Protecting Trade Secrets and Intellectual Property
Due Diligence in International IP and JV Transactions
Implications of Banking Crises for MNCs
Lessons from Enron and Nortel
Policy Issues in Risk Management
