Practical Risk Management for the CI

Information is the lifeblood of any organization. Without good information, poor decisions are made, risks are not recognized and communicated, and valuable information is lost or stolen. Cyber risks are increasing, and these risks are seriously impacting organizations. Without good information risk management, customer trust and loyalties as well as the organization’s reputation and brand ar…

A Risk

The total set of industries from Value Line is used to demonstrate that business risk and return are negatively correlated across companies within industries. Some empirical questions about industries themselves are also raised. The concepts of income smoothing and corporate strategy are utilized to explain this apparent paradox. Further work is both suggested and elaborated.

Management

What does a well-run company look like? You might say that it is popular or that its sales are high, but these can be fleeting things. You could say that it has a famous brand or a prominent leader, but familiar brands and well-publicized leaders can fall from grace. You can say that a well-managed company makes a big profit, but most busi- ness experts agree that a better measure of success is…

TOWARDS A RADICAL METAPHYSICS OF SOCIALISM

François Laruelle’s non-Marxist reading of Marx, executed in Introduction au non-marxisme, is accomplished by allowing Marx’s text to speak for itself, without placing it into the history of philosophy.1 A non-philosophical reading of Marx operates with the “use-value” of concepts that have been radicalized to expose their unilateral correlation with the effect of the real. In non-phi…

Managing Risk and Opportunity

Our ways met in early 2010 when the World Bank Group through the IFC Corporate Governance Unit decided to embark on a training program on risk governance for board members and senior managers with the aim of promoting good risk management practices linking corporate risk-taking with strategic decision-making. In preparing this work, we combined complementary insights from the corporate governan…

Wireless and Mobile Network Security

Wireless networks and security might be considered an oxymoron. Indeed it is hard to believe in security when it is so easy to access communication media such as wireless radio media. However, the research community in industry and academia has for many years extended wired security mechanisms or developed new security mechanisms and security protocols to sustain this marriage between wireless/…

Revealing art

In the Tate Modern there is a version of Auguste Rodin’s The Kiss (1901–4) which can be seen on the cover of this book. A couple emerges from the block of marble in a rapturous embrace, the meeting of their lips deliberately concealed from the viewer. The woman leans into the embrace, turning and pulling the man down. Her leg presses over his thigh, gently prising his legs apart, whilst h…

Feature Selection for High-Dimensional Data

The topic of variable selection in high-dimensional spaces (often with hundreds or thousands of dimensions) has attracted considerable attention in data mining re- search in previous years, and it is common in many real problems. In a nutshell, feature selection is a process that chooses an optimal subset of features according to a certain criterion. The selection of the criterion must be done…

Managing the Macroeconomy

Having originated in the advanced economies, the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) of 2008–09 spread rapidly to the rest of the world. The impact on the emerging markets, especially those in Asia, though not as severe as that in the advanced countries, was still quite signifi- cant. India withstood the crisis initially but could not remain entirely unaffected for long (especially after the collap…

Computational Statistics Handbook with MATLAB

We wrote a second edition of this book for two reasons. First, the Statistics Toolbox for MATLAB® has been significantly expanded since the first edition, so the text needed to be updated to reflect these changes. Second, we wanted to incorporate some of the suggested improvements that were made by several of the reviewers of the first edition. In our view, one of the most important issues t…

Nation within a Nation

No other region has been more important than the South in determining the course of U.S. politics and history. This was so in 1776, and 1865, and is still true today, although in vastly different ways. The South’s relationship to the federal government has been intriguing and unique, and it vitally informs the region’s continued import to American politics, society, and culture. No other s…
