Introduction

This book is intended to showcase several research-based case studies, i.e. practical problems and their resolution, about challenging security issues and handling risk factors. We focus on risk management for all businesses, not only financial. Risk management involves identification, analysis, evaluation, mitigation, and control; dealing with risks effectively makes businesses survive and prosper. Furthermore, we plan to give our book a more interdisciplinary perspective, and we would welcome contributions from various backgrounds, e.g. engineers, lawyers, experts in social and policy-makers, and more.

Objective

We believe the topic and its interdisciplinary perspective will make the book an impactful publication. First, it will emphasize the topicality of risk management in business and business research. Next, the research-based case studies will show that security and safety should be considered a primary business component and not peripheral.

Target Audience

We expect three primary readerships: First, students, undergraduate & postgraduate in management, business administration, law, and security studies, can find the cases insightful and shape a better understanding of the current and requested area of specialization, that is, security in/of business. Then, scholars can find these cases useful to build or inspire their research endeavour and teach business-related disciplines with cutting-edge research-based cases. Practitioners can also find the selected studies valuable to guide their analyses and decision-making.
