TopDescriptionThe
International Journal of Risk and Contingency Management (IJRCM) publishes interdisciplinary research papers, reviews,
and case studies that examine risk, uncertainty, and contingency. The journal
encourages risk and contingency research from disciplines like healthcare,
manufacturing, natural resources, agriculture, government, education, military,
transportation, finance, and technology. The journal’s cross-disciplinary coverage
and applied focus moves risk and contingency management away from pure
financial coverage. Academicians and researchers benefit by gaining insights
from the research in this journal concerning how risk is measured and mitigated
against across different disciplines, industries, and sectors.

TopMissionThe mission of the International Journal
of Risk and Contingency Management (IJRCM) is
to discover what risk and uncertainty mean to different disciplines and
industries. Risks are known in the sense they can be measured but it is the
underlying uncertainty that remains elusive. Risk is present across industries
and sectors (private, public, and non-profit). As a result, organizations and
government around the world are currently experiencing higher levels of risk. At
the other end of the spectrum from risk, contingency is the buffer against
expected risk and uncertainty. The
journal provides an interdisciplinary approach to risk and contingency
management, encouraging researchers and practitioners to provide best practices
and a look into the future of this field.
