Jack Shaw’ s perspectives, developed over a long and distinguished career as a management consultant, make clear that sound governance begins with the tone at the top. – Steadman Upham President, Claremont Graduate University In today’ s business environment– with the Enron scandal and the crisis of faith in corporate leadership and with a dynamic and increasingly volatile external environment– it is more critical than ever that we safeguard our company’ s reputation and ensure that we manage for risks appropriately and proactively. Traditional approaches to risk management consider only risks that are apparent and generally assume static conditions, rather than acknowledging that the world of business– indeed the world at large– is a very dynamic place in which the unexpected happens regularly.

Cost Management: Measuring, Monitoring, And Motivating Performance Description: Cost Management was written in response to changes in the global business environment.

Credit Derivatives Pricing Models: Models, Pricing&implementation Description: Since its inception, the market for credit derivatives has shown impressive growth and is expected to hit a volume of more than $4.8 trillion by 2004. Credit derivatives have begun to transform modern banking; they have become a standard instrument for the management of default risk; they are being used for risk management and hedging as well as for speculation, balance-sheet management and regulatory capital purposes. Despite their great usefulness, even established professionals often feel insecure when it comes to the quantitative analysis of the prices and risks of credit derivatives. Confronted with a bewildering variety of fundamentally different pricing approaches, it can be very challenging to understand their relative advantages and disadvantages and to choose the correct one for the problem at hand. In this book, the author carefully explains the different pricing models for credit derivatives in a very application-oriented way. Based on his wide experience in professional training for credit derivatives analysis, the models are developed with a view to their application to real pricing problems rather than just presenting the theory. Philipp Schö nbucher is one of the most talented researchers of his generation. He has taken the Credit Derivatives world by storm. In this book he carefully explains the concepts and the mathematics behind all of the most important and popular credit risk models. Professor Schö nbucher has filled an important gap on the quantitative finance bookshelf. – Paul Wilmott The reader is presented with a clear, concise and readable treatment of credit pricing models that will appeal to practitioners and academics. Itprovides a useful roadmap to the many daily challenges that face practitioners. It will become a standard reference. – Stuart M.
