A importância da gestão de risco: uma análise da vitória americana na batalha de Midwat

Abstract

This dissertation analyzes the Battle of Midway, which occurred during World War II, from a risk management perspective, aiming to understand how the principles of this doctrine were applied (or neglected) by the military forces of the United States and Japan. The methodology employed in this study is classified as comparative research, supported by bibliographic and documentary research. This work explores fundamental concepts regarding risk identification, responsiveness, and organizational flexibility. The research demonstrates that the American victory was largely due to its commanders' ability to adapt to unforeseen events and make decisions under uncertainty, while the Japanese defeat highlighted flaws in the perception and management of strategic risks. The study reinforces the importance of risk management as an essential tool not only in historical conflicts but also in contemporary geopolitical scenarios.
