The article presents three key arguments on #risktaking in #corporategovernance. Firstly, it asserts that #riskmanagers shouldn't be automatically blamed for corporate failures arising from statistically justified risk‑based decisions. It suggests a "statistics‑based governance" rule to protect managers within legal limits.

Lastly, it contends that while expected‑value analysis guides most decisions, for those with potential societal harm, public interests should also be considered.
