Risk Management
Why a risk management research platform?
As risks are becoming more and more important in all management disciplines and are changing more rapidly than ever, it is important to take into account these risks, and all aspects of them, in different disciplines, together with the specific discipline of managing risks at global and operational level in the enterprises and to analyse the effect of changes in the economic environment and other disciplines on the different elements of risk management so that risk management can be updated regularly in the different teaching programmes and good performances in all enterprises can be guaranteed.
Objectives of the platform
- Stimulate cross-functional academic research, relevant for business and multidisciplinary, within the Vlerick Leuven Gent Management School;
- Build collaborations with other Universities and business schools, focusing on risk management;
- Update the risk management courses (or partial courses) within the existing teaching programmes;
- Build international workshop/seminar/conference with call for papers for executive management;
- Create new training modules;
- Partnerships with organisations in the field of risk management.
