Description
Through a new set of detailed case studies William Leiss shows that while industry and governments have made much progress in responsibly managing risks to health and environment, they generally remain quite poor at managing their involvements with risk issues, that is, with the often intense controversies about the way in which risks should be managed. This organizational risk, associated with misunderstanding the nature of risk management issues, can have damaging consequences, something that remains poorly appreciated.
