What is it about?

Companies often face difficulties in the implementation of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). In this paper, an empirical research has been carried out to understand the companies' strategies in the implementation of ERM. The article discusses the four strategies: rudimentary, anticipatory, resilient and transformation. Two case studies in large insurance companies in India and UK demonstrate how companies are able to deal with several challenges in the implementation of ERM and progressed for enhanced implementation. The findings reflected that companies need to adopt strategic change from learning and cognitive lens for improvement in their current state of risk management.
