the COVID-19 pandemic. These impacts will last far into the future,
as newer digital technologies continue to be accepted, used, and
developed. These digital tools will forever change the face of
business and management. However, on the road to digital enterprise
transformation there are many successes, difficulties, challenges,
and failures. Finding solutions for these issues through strategic
thinking and identification of the core issues facing the
enterprise is of primary concern. This means modernizing management
and strategies around the digital workforce and understanding
digital business at various levels. These key areas of
digitalization and global challenges, such as those during or
derived from the pandemic, are new and unique; They require new
knowledge gained from a deep understanding of complex issues that
have been examined and the solutions being discovered. Emerging

Transformation explores the key challenges being faced as
businesses undergo digital transformation. It provides both
solutions and best practices for not only handling and solving
these key issues, but for becoming successful in digital
enterprise. This includes topics such as security and privacy in
technologies, data management, information and communication
technologies, and digital marketing, branding, and commerce. This
book is ideal for managers, business professionals, government,
researchers, students, practitioners, stakeholders, academicians,
and anyone else looking to learn about new developments in digital
enterprise transformation of business systems from a global
perspective.
In this significant new book, Bruna Ingrao and Claudio Sardoni
emphasize the crucial importance of considering credit/debt
relations and financial markets for a comprehensive understanding
of the world in which we live. The book offers both a thorough
historical and theoretical reconstruction of how 20th century
macroeconomics got (or did not get) to grips with the interactions
between banks and financial markets, and the 'real' economy. The
book is split into two distinct and thematic parts to expose the
different attitudes to banks and finance before and after the Great
Depression of the 1930s. Part I explores the period from the turn
of the 20th century to the late 1930s, when many important
economists devoted great attention to banks and credit relations in
their explanations of the working of market economies. Part II
discusses the post-war period up until the modern day, when banks
and financial markets ceased to be a major concern of mainstream
macroeconomics. The 2007-8 crisis gave rise to a renewed interest
in credit relations, but many problems inherited from the past
still remain open. The authors stress, in particular, the
implications of the uneasy, if not impossible, coexistence of the
endeavour to set macroeconomics within the framework of general
equilibrium theory with the attempt to develop the analysis of the
monetary and financial features of actual economies.
Macroeconomists will greatly benefit from this timely book as it
examines the historical evolution of the discipline, pointing out
the major factors that have largely prevented the development of
satisfactory analyses of the interrelations of credit, finance and
the macroeconomy. Those involved in current economic policy debates
will also benefit from the lessons offered in this book.
Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) risk
considers the nonfinancial risks that could arise in a business,
such as sustainability, brand reputation, legal aspects, ethics,
and more. As businesses all have their own risk profiles, there is
a need for risk management and mitigation that is unique for each
company. Because of this variability, the study on ESG risk factors
and motives of incorporating the ESG perspective into business
models are crucial yet challenging. Therefore, it is important to
understand how companies are adapting and mitigating ESG risk in
diverse types of businesses. Adapting and Mitigating Environmental,
Social, and Governance Risk in Business examines processes in
enterprises that can increase the sustainability of business models
and their coherence with the assumptions of the concept of
sustainable development and ESG risk. Furthermore, the book
explores how enterprises operating in different sectors are
adapting their business models towards sustainability in order to
create sustainable value. This book is a valuable tool for
managers, executives, entrepreneurs, practitioners, academicians,
researchers, and graduate students in finance, business, and
management.
