Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

In this course, participants learn how to give a presentation and contribute to an academic discussion (by asking questions, answering questions and making comments).

After completion of the course, students should have obtained knowledge of
o factors shaping the risk environment internationally,
o enterprise risk management in a global economy, and
o insurance in a global economy.

The course starts with a detailed introduction into the topic and the methods relevant to the course by the tutor in the form of several presentations. Then participants give talks (oral presentations). The talks of other participants are commented on and discussed. This enables everyone to receive detailed feedback. Finally, practitioners give presentations on current developments in the field.

In addition, course participants need to read several book chapters.
