I want to send my Labour Day props out to the blog called “riskviews” and a great article on the value of risk management. I pasted the first paragraph, but click through to the site to read the rest of it. If you are looking for a bit more quant in your risk management reading, check out this blog as well.

First they need to have a product or service that people will buy. They need revenues.
Second they need to have the ability to provide that product or service at a cost less than what their customers will pay. They need profits.
