Download or read book Risk Management and Insurance written by Scott Harrington and published by McGraw-Hill/Irwin. This book was released on 2003-07-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, introductory insurance textbooks presented insurance as a subject based in contracts. Slowly, the course has moved toward a consumer orientation, providing students with a broad, descriptive survey of the insurance field, covering topics such as legal aspects, life and health, and property and liability. Over the past 10 years, textbooks began to promote, and to a limited degree, incorporate a stronger business risk management component while maintaining a consumer orientation. Harrington/Niehaus' Risk Management and Insurance 2e is written to take the next step offering the essential aspects of insurance contracts and the insurance industry while providing a substantially more conceptual analysis and attention to business risk management and public policy issues that exists in current texts.

Download or read book Packing Your Parachute written by Michael Hale and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2017-08-17 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not many people complain of parachutes failing. It is usually too late. Like parachutes, inadequate insurance programs are many times discovered post haste following a catastrophe, often much to the surprise of management. In this book, we discuss some real-life stories of uninsured or underinsured disasters and coverage disputes. These stories are largely based upon our experiences as insurance expert witnesses in cases where an improperly designed insurance program led to years of litigation, unimaginable costs, and sometimes the bankrupting of the business and its owner. The mission of this book is to capture the attention of executives on why the way they may be buying business insurance could be all wrong and to provide suggestions on how to improve the process. We write this book as an antivirus scanning program of sorts for the insurance buyer to use in analyzing whether a business insurance agency and insurer are properly packing the companys parachute.

Through its fellowship program, the Foundation supports students in the Ph.D. program in Risk and Insurance at the Wharton School. The success of the Foundation is measured by the accomplishments of its alumni. Former Huebner Fellows play leading roles in every major area of insurance education. Fellows teach insurance to tens of thousands of undergraduate and MBA students each year and have written hundreds of books and thousands of articles on insurance. Fellows hold leadership positions at the American College, the Life Office Management Association, and the Certified Employee Benefit Specialist Program. The Foundation was created in honor of Dr. Solomon S. Huebner, a pioneer in insurance education. Dr. Huebner taught the first organized course on the economics of insurance ever offered at the collegiate level in 1904. An internationally recognized author and teacher, Dr. Huebner had a profound impact on both insurance education and the insurance industry. He served on the faculty of the Wharton School for more than nearly fifty years.
