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 the rapidly changing market and environment, the teaching of "Risk Management and Insurance" internationally has undergone major changes. First, the target audience is no longer limited to students majoring in insurance, but is now aimed at almost all majors in business schools. Therefore, it is recognized that risk management has become an indispensable and essential component of modern corporate management systems. Every student aspiring to a management position in a company should have 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, etc., 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 classic content of traditional risk management and insurance but also fully reflects the new developments in theory and practice of risk management and insurance mentioned above. 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 insurance students and insurance industry professionals but also meets the needs of offering risk management courses for business school students (such as MBA students).
