Human Capital & Risk Management

Catalog description

This graduate level course will enable students to identify and assess the impact of external and internal factors affecting the level of behavioral risk in business organizations that operate in diverse global markets. Students will be asked to synthetize and utilize various theoretical paradigms to design an original research project, formulate new hypotheses, utilize available technology to empirically test such hypotheses, and then extrapolate the project’s findings to provide specific recommendations of process or policy improvements that could reduce the negative impact of behavioral risk on firm performance, external markets, and society as a whole.
