I generally like the book. My advice is to read it from start to finish. The first theoretical part covers the concepts of risk management and gives examples. The second part have more in depth cases. Very good and easy to understand explanations of risks management for companies of different sizes and industry verticals. I liked the point that hiring a person with degree doesn't mean this person has skills to deliver results. Reality shows this is true. I would recommend the book for entrepreneurs who just start to managers in big companies. The information is equally useful and applicable.
