Written by Phil on August 27, 2012 in Books, Business Continuity, Risk Management.

Steve Elliott reviews Business Continuity and Risk Management: Essentials of Organizational?Resilience by Kurt J. Engemann and Douglas M. Henderson.

?I recently had the pleasure of reviewing a textbook which is a state-of-the-art summation of the current global body of knowledge for Business Continuity Management (BCM), including current international standards and best practices. The book is designed to be used as part of a college-level course or as a desk reference guide, or resource for your in-house team.

?A great book for educators, students, and practitioners. The material is fresh, topical, and presented in an easy-to-read and understand format. Add this one to your personal library!?
