The Roads To Ruin

Airmic has commissioned an entirely unique project, undertaken by Cass Business School, investigating the impact of 18 high profile corporate crises over the last decade.

The case studies outlined in Roads to Ruin consist of some of the world’s biggest organisations, with the risk events having considerable, often catastrophic, impacts on these organisations. In seven cases the companies faced bankruptcy. In eleven cases the Chairman and /or CEO lost their roles and a huge number of executive and non-executive directors lost their jobs. Roads to Ruin identifies key flaws within these organisations’ risk management that significantly contributed to these events.

Roads to Ruin provides important lessons in the flow of information, communication and corporate governance that were found lacking in the case studies investigated.
