This case study describes how the Zurich Insurance Group has implemented

and evolved its enterprise risk management (ERM) approach for more than

governance structures and ERM champions to help integrate ERM into the

business model that focuses on promptly identifying, measuring, managing,

monitoring, and reporting risks that affect the achievement of strategic,

operational, and financial objectives. This includes adjusting their risk profiles

to be in line with Zurich’s stated risk tolerance to respond to new threats and

opportunities in order to optimize returns.

In this assignment you will conduct a review of the literature on this case

study and write a literature review on this topic. There are many sites that can
