Features: We have entered a new century full of opportunities and risks, and people's understanding of risk, risk management, and insurance is undergoing significant changes. To adapt to rapidly changing markets and environments, the teaching of "Risk Management and Insurance" internationally has undergone substantial changes. First, the target audience is no longer limited to students of insurance majors but is now aimed at almost all majors in business schools. Therefore, it has been recognized that risk management has become an indispensable and essential component of modern enterprise management systems. Every student aspiring to a management position in a company should possess knowledge of risk management and the use of insurance to control risks. Second, the content of teaching is no longer limited to the analysis of traditional risk types and insurance methods but has begun to focus on new types of risks, such as catastrophic risks, environmental risks, financial risks, and so on, and introduces some non-traditional risk transfer tools that have already emerged in practice. The book "Risk Management and Insurance" (2nd Edition) not only includes the classic content of traditional risk management and insurance but also fully reflects the new developments in theory and practice of risk management and insurance. The translation and publication of this book aim to provide an excellent textbook and reference book for universities, colleges, and insurance institutions to offer courses in risk management and insurance. This book is not only suitable for students of insurance majors and insurance industry practitioners but can also meet the needs of offering risk management courses for business school students (such as MBA students).
