Criminal Risks Management Chair

Terrorist attacks, counterfeiting, fraud, money laundering, kidnapping, hacking...: companies are constantly being targeted by criminal and terrorist organisations.

Managing this kind of risk requires in-depth knowledge of the criminals and terrorists who threaten business organisations and the techniques that they use, in order to develop well-adapted risk management solutions.

EDHEC's Criminal Risks Management Chair is continually working to develop and disseminate its findings on strategic risk management in this highly specific and little studied field. More information
