520			_aThere are no prescriptions for organizing in the face of risk and threat, but the accumulating experience shows that a well-rehearsed improvisation brings much better results than planning and construction of formal organizations. This timely book contains cases of risk and threat where the former strategy succeeds and the latter fails. The wealth of cases presented includes the Marburg virus outbreak in Angola, bird flu, health insurance after the Tsunami, and the Tjorn bridge catastrophe in Sweden. Graduate and postgraduate students in business and management schools, as well as academics taking teaching courses in risk management across disciplines should not be without this book. Risk management specialists will also find this book invaluable.
