Risk is costly. This statement is absolutely agreed by businessmen and professionals,
particularly those facing inherent risk in their professional lives. Minimising the cost of
risk to an optimum level unanimously means that we are increasing the value of a firm.
However, the cost of risk minimisation, albeit its ease to say or leam 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 retum.
Hence, risk management course is of importance to business students expecting to deal
with business and professional lives in the future. This course is designed to introduce
and discuss various risk management concepts, tools, and techniques in global context.
Using integrated approaches, the course will emphasise discussion on the design and
implementation of risk management practices. Basically, it purports to help students
reaIise, understand, and master various state-of-the-art risk management theories and
practices (such as loss control, loss financing, and intemal risk reduction mechanisms) as
well as their advancement in the future.
1. To provide students with a comprehensive perspective on risk management and
insurance concepts, tools, and techniques;
2. To develop analytical and integrative thinking in understanding
and
implementing the risk management practices;
3. To arouse the sense of business through an experiential approach, especially in
the completion of assignments;
4. To practice communication skills intertwined with risk management topics;
5. To strengthen the creativity of students, as Florida (2002), a management sage,
has labelled today's generation as "the rise of creative class".

Presence. Students are required to attend lectures at least 75% of total lectures held. Any
violation against this rule may cause the ineligibility to get a final grade.
Class participation.
Students are highly expected to contribute ideas, thoughts,
experiences, and arguments to the class discussion. Although overviews of key points
and issues will be provided, we strongly recommend that students comprehend the
materials in details, raise questions and ideas, and create a "lively" class, meaning that
you must read and prepare readings assigned prior to coming to the class.
An experiential approach. Continuously and consistently, students are assigned to
construct experiential observations on managerial cases and practices, and subsequently
report the findings to the instructor.
Internet exploration. Students are encouraged to harness the advancement of
information and communications technology (ICT) in exploring knowledge and
opportunities. Remember that in current competitive environment, a clever person is not
she who can answer all questions; rather, it is she who knows where to find answers.
