TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Risk - a commentary JO - Civil engineering and environmental systems A1 - Carmichael, David G. SP - 177 EP - 198 VL - 33 IS - 3 N2 - The paper outlines the disarray that exists in the literature and practice associated with risk and risk management, in an attempt to promote discussion on risk and advance the state-of-the-art. The paper outlines the multiple conflicting definitions and usages of the term risk, and proposes a definitive meaning using systems concepts. Risk management is dissected and demonstrated to be but a special case of systems engineering, systematic problem solving or systems synthesis.
