Case Study : Global Risk Manager

Chris and I met with the City of Decatur Risk Manager. We asked about insurance coverage for fraud or theft perpetrated by a board member or staff member (namely in the form of writing checks). The Risk Manager said there is currently insurance coverage for Decatur Civic Center employees. The coverage includes employee theft in the amount of $500,000.00 per loss (with $5,000 deductable). However, the Board members are not covered under this same policy. The coverage for the Board is only while acting in legal capacity of Board member. The board members are not covered for fraudulent acts. In the case of a fraudulent act by a Board member, they would be personally liable and it would not be reimbursable by the insurance company.

The Westing game by Ellen Raskin was full of lots of characters. A game secretly designed to pull out a sole heir for the Westing estate; it had many clues and characters. Even though a well defined mystery, there was no one single main character. Turtle Wexler, who is the daughter of grace and jack Wexler, wins the game eventually. Even though she wins the game there and the she doesn't let the others know until five years later. If turtle Wexler goes missing in the book then all the characters would be befuddled and lost about where to go. The story gets started when Sam Westing is declared dead and the game is started. Turtle's partner in the game is the dress maker Flora Baumbach who would be more worried about losing turtle. Even though turtle might appear immature with her braided hair and the bank of kicking people I the shin, she turns out to be the smartest of all. She convinced Flora that to win the game they should invest in the stock market. Description of the missing: Turtle Wexler can be described as a teenage girl with blond hair. She is quick perk and daring as was guessed from her willingness to go into the Westing house on Halloweens night. She came running out of the house when saw the dead body of Sam Westing. Her dressing sense is not very preppy as she appears to be more of a t shirt and jeans sort of person. Compared to her elder sister Angela, turtle is described as not very attractive and gorgeous. People interacted with: unlike other people of her

Throughout her novel, Northanger Abbey, Jane Austen integrates parody with characterization to emphasize the necessity of a balance between sense and sensibility while reflecting a theme of the initiation of a young woman into the complexities of adult social life. This novel can be traced back as one of Jane Austen's earliest works. It was written in 1798, but not published until 1818, and is an excellent example of what Austen believed a novel should not be. In the work Jane Austen's Novels Social Change and Literary Form, Julia Prewitt Brown states "The evident purpose of Northanger Abbey is to burlesque the popular fiction of her day, to carry its conventions

Risk management is a critical component to the success of any supply chain, yet this is still an area that sees little forward movement. In many organizations, risk management is viewed more as a reactive department, only becoming operational when a significant disruption arises in contrast to being an active and continual department with focused effort. As a supply chain moves to take on a global stance, risk management cannot be treated as a reactive measure. Global supply chains are exposed to greater risk than local/domestic supply chains as their linkage is more

One well accepted description of risk management is the following: risk management is a systematic approach to setting the best course of action under uncertainty by identifying, assessing, understanding, acting on and communicating risk issues. In order to apply risk management effectively, it is vital that a risk management culture be developed. The risk management culture supports the overall vision, mission and objectives of an organization. Limits and boundaries are established and communicated concerning what are acceptable risk practices and outcomes. Since risk management is directed at uncertainty related to future events and outcomes, it is

Slaves also filled a wide variety of roles in the Roman workforce, making their unpaid labor essential to a balanced economy. All in all, Roman economy and society would not have functioned effectively without the presence and enforcement of slavery.
