For undergraduate courses in risk managementand insurance. Principles and practices: Managing risk withconsumer considerations.

Redja’s Principles of Risk Management and Insurance provides an in-depth examination of major risk themes. Using rich and up-to-date content on the basic concepts of risk management and insurance, and introductory and advanced topics in traditional and enterprise risk management, the text is relevant to a wide number of disciplines in the business realm. Fully updated and revised, the 14th Edition covers global topics ranging from natural disasters and terrorism, to domestic issues like the ever-evolving Affordable Care Act and healthcare reform. Principles sets itselfapart by placing primary emphasis on insurance consumers and blends basic risk management and insurance principles with consumer considerations, allowing students to apply basic concepts to their own personal risk management and insurance programs.

A new objective for the 14th edition is to design a text that will increase the employability skills of students who are taking a course in risk management and insurance. Projections indicate that some 400,000 positions in the insurance industry will become available in the next four years. These positions include underwriting, claims, actuarial science, information technology, enterprise risk management that treats both pure risk and speculative risk, loss prevention, investments, law and legal contracts, and numerous other functional areas. Most insurers today encourage or require new employees to participate in specialized education programs that increase their employability skills or take courses that lead to professional designations such as Chartered Life Underwriter (CLU), Chartered Property Casualty Underwriter (CPCU), or Certified Financial Planner (CFP). The 14th edition of the text provides the basic educational foundation for many of these professional designations.
