Review: Managing Risk - Managing risk has become top of agenda for many organisations as developments in technology and ever-changing economic landscape results in new and evolving risks. Review: Managing Risk - This compilation of HBR articles is great during a time of crisis like we are encountering right now with covid-19. I had read a few of these articles before during my MBA, but enjoyed seeing what else I can take form them and apply to the workplace. These reads were very informative on how to mitigate different types of risks within the workplace. All employees, not just executives can benefit from this packet. The one article that did not see to fit with the rest of the packet regards specific climate change risk. Thank you Harvard Business Review Press and Netgalley!
