FOCUS: The rapid pace and complexities of the global business environment continually trigger an unending range of potential risks that can significantly impact an organization’s strategic success. Risks of all types can emerge, prompting the need for a multi-faceted approach to risk management. Effective enterprise-wide risk governance is impacted by a network of players both external and internal to the organization and who represent multiple points of view. Thus, submissions from different scholarly disciplines are encouraged.
