Abstract
This chapter presents case studies of the ERM implementation in three CCFs based in Singapore. They were large-, medium-, and small-sized firms, respectively, and participated in the Survey II. Table 8.1 shows the profile of the six interviewees who provided information for the three case studies. In addition to the interviews, their past documents, including the internal documents about ERM and the reports in the mass media, were also reviewed.
