Collins and Ruefli develop the concept  of ordinal risk and extend this concept and its associated measures to  the more general framework of state-defined systems. The book makes  the state-defined risk methodology more accessible to strategic  management researchers, and to social scientists in general. The need  for quantitative frameworks with which to analyze the dynamics of  strategic management has been apparent for some time. The  state-defined risk methodology has the advantage of being based on a  common usage definition of risk, and is also based on a mathematically  well-behaved function. It permits investigation of the chance of gain  while yielding a measure of environmental uncertainty. Finally, the  development is general and permits applications employing a variety of  performance dimensions over a range of entities in a diversity of  contexts. The authors demonstrate the practicability and reliability  of this approach by applying the model to mutual funds, large mining  and manufacturing firms, and public firms on an industry by industry  basis.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1995-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792396611\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4613-1311-3\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 218\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46312297726092,"sku":"9780792396611","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792396611.jpg?v=1771523657","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792396611","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
