The better way to learn Risk assessment

I have this book for sometimes for my research area is simulation. Now I need to seriously study the Risk analysis for the ERP implementation for the real-business and I found this book is quite useful. Comparing to the Risk management book, this book gives you more quantitative analysis using simulation approach. Hence, this book will guide you for more tangible subject rather than intangible subject.I agree with other reviewer for the "student version" of the software, come with this book. It would be great if the authors provide the "bigger" size than student level for better analysis the bigger system :) I wish the authors read my note here :)

Risk Analysis made easy

I bought the book two years ago to get up to speed with risk analysis. I'll now buy it again because I had to leave the last copy with my former employer. The book is very well written, clear and concise with good worked examples so that even a non-mathematically-inclined person and statistics novice will readily grasp the basic concepts and be able to use the enclosed software CD. Very good! My one only gripe is that the demo software included with the book is limited to a "student" level of performance, but I guess if you get heavily into it it'll be worth to pay the extra to get the full version of the Excel add-on which runs the calculations.
