Abstract

This article describes how disaster risk management topics are taught at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and thus highlights opportunities for developing similar course modules on disaster risk management at other institutions. An undergraduate and MBA elective course, titled Catastrophic Failure in Organizations, contains four modules that are directly relevant to disaster risk management. The first module focuses on the need to move from risk indifference to risk sensitivity. The second module considers the importance of business continuity and crisis management plans and explores their common shortcomings. The third module uses a case study to examine the topic of prospective risk management. The fourth module focuses on the vulnerability of supply chains and other complex systems to disaster risk. The article describes the details of implementing these modules and discusses opportunities for further integration of disaster risk management topics in other parts of the curriculum.

教授灾害风险管理:来自罗特曼管理学院的经验教训
本文描述了多伦多大学罗特曼管理学院如何教授灾害风险管理主题,从而强调了在其他机构开发类似灾害风险管理课程模块的机会。一门本科生和MBA选修课程,名为“组织中的灾难性失败”,包含四个与灾害风险管理直接相关的模块。第一个模块侧重于从对风险漠不关心转向对风险敏感的必要性。第二个模块考虑了业务连续性和危机管理计划的重要性,并探讨了它们的共同缺点。第三个模块使用案例研究来研究前瞻性风险管理的主题。第四个模块侧重于供应链和其他复杂系统对灾害风险的脆弱性。本文描述了实施这些模块的细节,并讨论了在课程的其他部分进一步整合灾害风险管理主题的机会。
