Course Description:
Risk is costly. This statement is absolutely agreed by businessmen and professionals, particularly those
facing inherent risk in their professional lives. Minimizing the cost of risk to an optimum level unanimously
means that we are increasing the value of a firm. However, the cost of risk minimization, albeit its ease to
say or learn conceptually is very much difficult to implement, either by self-managed method or by risk-
transfer approach. If a business executive decides to manage the cost of risk herself, she has to estimate
direct and indirect costs pertaining to the possibly risky events or occurrences. On the other hand, if
executive transfers the risk to a third party, she has to load in insurance premium as the compensation for
the insurer, comprising administrative fees and the insurer's business return.

Prerequisites and/or Course Restrictions:


1. Financial Accounting
2. Financial Management
INDENTED LEARNING OUTCOMES
By the end of this course it is expected that the student will be able to:

1. Get a comprehensive perspective on risk management and insurance concepts, tools, and techniques.
2. Develop analytical and integrative thinking in understanding and implementing the risk management
practices.
3. Arouse the sense of business through an experiential approach, especially in the completion of
assignments.
4. Practice communication skills intertwined with risk management topics;

Violation of Academic Honesty Policy:

If I received two cases / assignments that are identical or virtually identical (including spreadsheets), both
cases will receive a zero. If you violate the Academic Honesty policy for a second time, you will receive a
failing grade for the course.
How to Keep Your Professor Happy:

If you need to get something to eat or drink, do so before class. If you need to use the restroom, do so
before class. If is very disruptive to have people rustling food wrappers or walking in and out after class has
started.
If you carry a cell phone, turn it off before coming to class. During class your phone belongs in your
pocket, purse or carrying case. If I see you using your phone during class to make or receive calls
or to text message, I will excuse you from the class by marking absent thereby giving you plenty of
time to talk with your friends.

I will not tolerate disruptive behavior in class. Its rude and interferes with learning. If your behavior in class
is disruptive, I will administratively withdraw you from the course and you will have to take it some other
semester.
The University Dress Code has to be observed, no warnings will be given, and violators will be
asked politely to leave the class and consequently will be marked absent.

Counseling: I have a open door policy just walk in any time for consultation

Participation:

Students are expected to attend all class periods and to have read the assigned material and cases in
advance of class (although not necessarily with perfect comprehension). Advanced preparation and class
participation are crucial for periods in which we discuss cases. During discussion sessions, I generally keep
track of the insightful and useful comments students make. (Talk for talk's sake is not rewarded.)
