Overview: Risk behaviour and risk management in business life influence awide range of fields in which only a very limited amount of researchhas been undertaken. These topics have often been treated as if theywere theoretically and practically isolated from other fields, the socalled risk archipelago problem. What is actually needed is anotherfocus, in which the problem of risk is treated as a central theme. Thedemand for interdisciplinary research means that there is a need forcrossing scientific boundaries. In approaching risk problems from aholistic perspective there is also a parallel need
