Political Risk: How Businesses and Organizations Can Anticipate Global Insecurity
Autor Condoleezza Rice, Amy B. Zegarten Hardback – 30 apr 2018
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.

Recenzii
"Rice
and
Zegart's
POLITICAL
RISK
should
be
read
by
every
business
leader.
Any
company
that
fails
to
learn
and
apply
the
lessons
of
this
wise
and
practical
book
can
quickly
find
itself
in
rapid
decline.
But
equally,
those
who
become
skilled
at
its
application
can
do
more
than
merely
mitigate
such
risks;
they
can
thrive
upon
them.
Well-written
and
chock-full
of
compelling
case
stories
wrapped
inside
a
coherent
conceptual
framework,
POLITICAL
RISK
gets
and
keeps
your
attention,
page
after
page.
We
cannot
predict
the
future,
but
--
with
the
help
of
this
marvelous
masterwork---
we
can
prepare
for
it."—Jim

"Smart. Informative. Overdue. Will completely change the way you think about political risk."—Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google and Alphabet, Inc.
"Secretary Rice and Dr. Zegart have melded their professional experiences of managing political risk at the highest levels with other case studies into a uniquely useful and profound book."—Frederick W. Smith, chairman & CEO, FedEx Corporation
"Political risk was once centered on honest-to-goodness political actors -- governments, central banks and the like. But as Rice and Zegart clearly show, technology has forever changed who counts as a 'political actor.' This book is truly excellent, both for tracing how far the political risk field has come in the last two decades, and how much further it has left to go."—Ian Bremmer, president, Eurasia Group
"Clearly written and timely, this book will interest not only current and future business executives but also would-be-whistle-blowers and corporate watchdogs."—Publishers Weekly
Praise forDemocracy: Stories from the Long Road to Freedom
"[An] accessibly written study of that imperfect but ideal form of government...[One that] deserves a broad audience, especially in our current political climate."—Kirkus Starred Review
"[A] ringing call for democracy promotion...Ms. Rice should be commended."—Max Boot, The Wall Street Journal
"Working daily alongside Condi at the White House and State Department, I witnessed firsthand her foundational belief in the power of human freedom and the crucial need for democratic institutions to protect it. This book, full of fascinating anecdotes and insights, is a sweeping view of the global struggle for democracy and a must-read for all who care about the future peace of the world and its people."—Karen Hughes, former under secretary of state for public diplomacy and public affairs
