Financial Risk Management

Richard F. Meyer is exploring the theory and practice of financial risk management in corporations worldwide. Three primary objectives of his research are: to understand the underlying sources of risk and corporations' exposure to them; to identify appropriate, available mechanisms for managing risk; and to develop consistent risk-management strategies for various levels of risk tolerance. Meyer's work is aimed in part at the development of teaching materials for Financial Risk Management, an MBA course for which he is also producing a book of text and cases. His essay "Upside Opportunity and Downside Risk" is included in Wise Choices: Decisions, Games, and Negotiations, published by the Harvard Business School Press.
