Chapter 1 in Effective Control of Currency Risks, 1988, pp 1-19 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Why do companies frequently experience problems with exchange rate movements? Is it simply because certain currencies move ‘for’ or ‘against’ them at various points in time? Were this the case, little could be done to control currency risk. Yet with the recent explosion of new risk control devices (in particular options and futures) companies are constantly attempting to control risks due to exchange rate movements (Hall, 1985; Putka et al., 1985; The Wall Street Journal, 1985).
