Subject Aim:

For all organisations within these industries, it is important to systematically identify and monitor the possible risks that may arise for employees, investors, guests or anyone else involved.
This subject introduces relevant theoretical concepts to understand risk management within these different industries. It will also aim to provide a basis for future managers to understand and reduce the risks involved in whatever their chosen THE field.
Learning Outcomes:
a) Reflect upon the place and importance of risk to the industries.
b) Review different risk management practices within the industries.
