For centuries, researchers have attempted to grapple with the basic question of what risk is and how to measure risk aversion. Chapters 1 through 4 represent my attempt to give some historical perspective on how our thinking has evolved over the past few centuries, with a healthy dose of what psychologists have discovered in recent years about how human beings react to risk. In particular, these studies find that human beings are neither as rational nor as easy to categorize when it comes to behavior when confronted with risk as traditional economists had assumed them to be. Although much of this work would usually be categorized as behavioral economics or finance, understanding the findings is the first step to managing risk.The next four chapters (Chapters 5-8) look at how risk assessment techniques have evolved over time. Chapter 5 has its roots in portfolio theory and examines ways in which we can adjust the value of risky assets for that risk. Chapter 6 borrows heavily from the decision sciences and statistics and discusses ways in which probabilistic approaches can be used to evaluate risk. Chapter 7 takes a closer look at value at risk (VaR), an extension of the probabilistic approach that has acquired a substantial following particularly in commercial and investment banks. Chapter 8 returns to financial theory and looks at how extensions of option pricing models can be used to incorporate the potential upside from risk exposure.The last four chapters of this book represent an attempt to meld traditional finance and corporate strategy to arrive at a complete story for risk management, which goes beyond just risk hedging (which has been the finance fo
