Managing risk in and across organizations has always been of vital importance, both for individual firms and for the globalized economy more generally. With the global financial crisis, a dramatic lesson was learnt about what happens when risk is underestimated, misinterpreted, or even overlooked. Many possible solutions have been competing for international recognition, yet, there is little empirical evidence to support the purported effectiveness of these regulations and structured control approaches, which leaves the field wide open for further interpretation and conceptual development. This comprehensive book pulls together a team of experts from around the world in a range of key disciplines such as management, economics and accounting, to provide a comprehensive resource detailing everything that needs to be known in this emerging area. With no single text currently available, the book fills a much needed gap in our current understanding of strategic risk management, offering the potential to advance research efforts and enhance our approaches to effective risk management practices. Edited by a globally recognized expert on strategic risk management, this book will be an essential reference for students, researchers, and professionals with an interest in risk management, strategic management and finance.

HOW! Digital Cultures! We are often asked is there a method or a way to influence or build the desired culture. Is there something called a right or a wrong culture? Would organizations seek to alter its cultural path consciously and is it possible to do so? Our answer to that is a resounding YES. What "you got" is what "you get" and "what you have". Right or Wrong - Good or bad! And this is not about whether organizations are actually right or bad. It is what people perceive it to be in those organizations. One is not declaring that there a standard formula, and if executed effectively, organizations would have a new or a desirable, favorable culture. NO, such a recipe does not exist. But with equal resolute can also state that if organizations were to understand, appreciate their As Is culture, with all of its facets, aspects, players, issues, challenges, goals in regard to their existing culture, it is indeed possible to influence such an As Is culture to a To Be desired state culture.
