From New York Times bestselling author and former U.S. secretary of state Condoleezza Rice and Stanford University professor Amy B. Zegart comes an examination of the rapidly evolving state of political risk, and how to navigate it. The world is changing fast. Political risk-the probability that a political action could significantly impact a company's business-is affecting more businesses in more ways than ever before. A generation ago, political risk mostly involved a handful of industries dealing with governments in a few frontier markets. Today, political risk stems from a widening array of actors, including Twitter users, local officials, activists, terrorists, hackers, and more. The very institutions and laws that were supposed to reduce business uncertainty and risk are often having the opposite effect. In today's globalized world, there are no "safe" bets. POLITICAL RISK investigates and analyzes this evolving landscape, what businesses can do to navigate it, and what all of us can learn about how to better understand and grapple with these rapidly changing global political dynamics. Drawing on lessons from the successes and failures of companies across multiple industries as well as examples from aircraft carrier operations, NASA missions, and other unusual places, POLITICAL RISK offers a first-of-its-kind framework that can be deployed in any organization, from startups to Fortune 500 companies. Organizations that take a serious, systematic approach to political risk management are likely to be surprised less often and recover better. Companies that don't get these basics right are more likely to get blindsided. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

Political risk has always been a factor in state and business concerns throughout history, but the pace of change today requires us to plan, recognize, react, and recover more quickly than ever before. Doing so necessitates a more purposeful understanding of the operational environment, the actors, potential motivations and perceptions, possible outcomes, and mitigations. Rice and Zegart construct a simple -- but not simplistic -- framework that helps us understand, analyze, mitigate, and react to different risk outcomes with the help of some guiding questions. The case studies effectively exercise the framework with organizational successes and failures in how they handled shifting risk environments.
Well organized, easy to read, and well thought out by two deeply experienced professionals in not altogether overlapping fields. A must read for anyone involved in operational or strategic planning and really a seminal text for anyone wanting to specialize in this flavor of risk consultancy. ( )
