Organizational encounters with risk : an introduction / Bridget Hutter and Michael Power -- Organizational rituals of risk and error / Diane Vaughan -- 'Ways of seeing' : understandings of risk in organizational settings / Bridget M. Hutter -- Risk and rules : the 'legalization' of medicine / Carol A. Heimer, JuLeigh Coleman Petty and Rebecca J. Culyba -- Organizational responses to risk : the rise of the chief risk officer / Michael Power -- Incentives, risk and accountability in organizations / Timothy Besley and Maitreesh Ghatak -- Mathematizing risk : models, arbitrage and crises / Donald MacKenzie -- Interdependencies within an organization / Howard Kunreuther and Geoffrey Heal -- Restoring reason : causal narratives and political culture / Sheila Jasanoff.

Organizational encounters with risk range from errors and anomalies to outright disasters. In a world of increasing interdependence and technological sophistication, the problem of understanding and managing such risks has grown ever more complex. Organizations and their participants must often reform and reorganise themselves in response to major events and crises, dealing with the paradox of managing the potentially unmanageable. Organizational responses are influenced by many factors, such as the representational capacity of information systems and concerns with legal liability. In this collection, leading experts on risk management from a variety of disciplines address these complex features of organizational encounters with risk. They raise critical questions about how risk can be understood and conceived by organizations, and whether it can be 'managed' in any realistic sense at all. This book is an important reminder that the organisational management of risk involves much more than the cool application of statistical method.
