Center for Enterprise Risk Management
James A. Verbrugge, Director
 The CENTER FOR STRATEGIC RISK MANAGEMENT serves as the focal point for teaching and research activities in enterprise risk management at the Terry College of Business. Enterprise risk management refers to the problem of identifying and evaluating risks within an enterprise and determining appropriate means to manage those risks. Financial risks, such as uncertainty in interest rates, exchange rates and credit risks, and operational risks, such as traditional hazard risks, technological changes, and dynamic product markets, can severely impact the firm's cash flows and profits. Enterprise risk management emphasizes the importance of systematically considering the risks across the firm to develop a complete understanding of the firm's total risk exposure. By coordinating risk management across the firm, the overall risk exposure can be managed more effectively.
The efforts of the proposed Center for Enterprise Risk are focused on furthering this innovative approach to risk management. The Center encourages faculty to conduct research on the assessment and management of risk by firms and organizations. The Center also coordinates instructional activities within the Terry College at the graduate and undergraduate level and develops executive programs to educate managers on the concepts of enterprise risk management. Just as risk management across the enterprise is multidisciplinary, so is the focus of the Center for Enterprise Risk Management, drawing upon the talents of all disciplines within the Terry College, in addition to other faculty from across the University of Georgia campus.
