Modern Business and Financial Risk Management

written by Ephraim Matanda

A Sustainable Development Approach
This book is on business and financial risk management in all forms of business organisations, both public and private in nature. Coming from a modern business management perspective, the book presents and details the modern sources and investment strategies used by investors in maximising value edition, growth and development of their businesses. It expands the potentialities of firm shareholders by extending businesses endeavours through innovation, financial engineering and revolutions. Realising that most of the texts on business and financial risk management are research are subject specific regardless of the fact that most financial and investment methods and approaches today are contingent, complementary and overlapping, the book advances the argument that its high time that researchers consider coming up and applying research texts that are multi-disciplinary and promoting interactions across related fields. The richness and novelty of the book is premised on its attempt to offer business and financial risks, all in one book, which can be applied to different disciplines and situations. More significantly and without overrating the potential of multi-disciplinary research approaches, the book provides additional insights and dimensions on origins, evolutions and trends emerging in contemporary research. The book is therefore bringing an important contribution to contemporary research debates and multi-disciplinary discourses that have taken centre stage in recent years in many universities and across the world in dissemination of knowledge aimed at turning the fortunes of modern businesses towards effective risk management, and growth towards sustainable development. The book is critically important to students and practitioners across fields, and let alone businesses that are struggling to grow and develop due to weak risk management systems, poor corporate governance and ethics frameworks.
