Course content
Emphasis is placed on understanding the role of a risk manager, crisis communication, and, last but not least, the economic and substantive nature of crises. After completing this course, students should be able to appropriately describe selected financial (especially exchange rate) and non-financial (especially operational) risks, structure decision-making problems, and apply suitable tools for their analysis. Furthermore, the students will be capable of recognizing, evaluating, and managing risks based on the knowledge acquired. The course also demonstrates the methodology of scenario creation using modern approaches to analytical modeling. In the second part of the course, students delve into the actual issues of risk management. They are introduced to a variety of practical and widely applicable methods and tools to support multi-criteria decision-making. - Introduction to the study of risk. Historical development of risk management. - Modern risk management tools utilizing machine learning and data mining approaches. - Scenario analysis. Description of uncertainty using probabilistic models. Introduction to Monte Carlo simulations. - Tools for managing financial risks, especially exchange rate risk. - Quantification of risks and the creation of multi-criteria mathematical models. - Decision-making tasks in managerial practice and their classification. - Tools and methods to support managerial decision-making. - Risk reduction methods. - Crisis management. - Practical approaches to risk management.
