Examines the topic of political risk, discussing the essential lessons, corrective measures, and counterintuitive insights for executives, entrepreneurs, and investors to navigate an uncertain, volatile world. The probability that a political action could significantly impact a company's business is affecting more businesses in more ways than ever before. Political risk stems from a widening array of actors, including Twitter users, local officials, activists, terrorists, hackers, and more. Rice and Zegart analyze the evolving landscape of political risk, explain what businesses can do to navigate it, and what all of us must learn to better understand and grapple with these rapidly changing global political dynamics. -- adapted from jacket. |
