Book Description
Insurance and risk management make up an immense, complex global industry, one which is constantly changing. Competition continues to heat up as mergers and acquisitions create international mega-firms. As the insurance industry grows more global, underwriters see huge potential in China, the world’s fastest-growing business market, as well as India, Indonesia, Africa and other emerging markets. Specialty insurance is creating high profits. Meanwhile, technology is making back-office tasks easier and more efficient, while direct selling and e-commerce are changing the shape of the insurance industry. This carefully-researched book is a complete insurance market research and business intelligence tool-everything you need to know about the business of insurance and risk management. The book includes our analysis of insurance and risk management industry trends; dozens of statistical tables; an industry glossary; a database of industry associations and professional organizations; and our in-depth profiles of more than 300 of the world’s leading insurance companies, both in the U.S. and abroad.
