Globaalit riskit ja niiden hallinta (5 op)

Tavoitteet

The course seeks to give students a broad insight at the macro analysis level of the substantial risk forces that shape our lives both now and into the future. It will cover the powerful nature of man-made financial markets and discover some of their inner workings and dynamics as well as exploring humanity's attempts to deal with the powerful environmental forces of mother nature in respect of their impact on business and society at large. We will view things from the stand point of uncertainty because where ever there is uncertainty there is risk.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
• Understand the general foundations of Risk
• Learn to see Risk in terms of Pure and Speculative forms
• Appreciate the interrelatedness of global financial and Insurance markets and have a greater understanding of their impact on business and society.
