Corporate boards

a collection of papers presented in 2008 at Loyola University Chicago on the topic of relations between the boards and business risks. Combine the contribution of social sciences, management, of law, business ethics, in order to analyze the role of directors in risk management and as a source of risk to themselves that govern society - a point that was associated with executive management, that after the unfortunate events of recent years has been particularly evident. The essays are organized into five parts, each ended the critical analysis of the contributions in it. The first shows the heterogeneity risk management practices within the structures of governance. In the second you try to establish whether the management of risk by the boards is possible given the chaotic nature of the systems and society, or achievable in practice, according to the dynamics that characterize the behavior of these bodies. The third part examines the interaction between the structure of the boards and how to manage risk. The fourth is devoted to the management of specific risks by administrators. Finally, the fifth focuses on ethical issues that arise from the relationship between risk management and corporate governance.
