Organizing Risk: Organization and Management Theory for the Risk Society [PDF]
Academy of Management Annals, 2020 Risk has become a crucial part of organizing, affecting a wide range of organizations in all sectors. We identify, review and integrate diverse literatures relevant to organizing risk, building on an existing framework that describes how risk is organized in three ‘modes’ – prospectively, in real-time, and retrospectively.

Risk management for whales [PDF]
, 2016 We propose framework for modeling portfolio risk which integrates market risk with liquidation costs which may arise in stress scenarios. Our model provides a systematic method for computing liquidation-adjusted risk measures for a portfolio. Calculation

, 2022 Delineation of organs at risk and volumes of interest plays a crucial role in the radiation therapy chain. The process should be aligned with technological and clinical treatment approaches for optimal personalized care. Organs at risk contouring is part of the planning stage, after the initial simulation process, where volumetric CT imaging takes ...
