The Nature of the New Firm presents a number of studies on the
blurring of boundaries within and between organizations and
institutions. Globalization has created new ways of doing business,
new institutions to oversee them, and has introduced a spectrum of
new protagonists to the international arena. Scholars and
practitioners have been challenged by the evolving environment to
find new ways to interact and, in the process, many of the
traditional boundaries that have existed within and between
organizations and institutions have become increasingly blurred.
This unique compendium sheds light on these and other topics on the
question of change, both within and between organizations and
institutions. The contributors have expertly combined the insights
of some of the biggest names in the fields of economics, business
and strategic management, both present and future and in doing so
offer scholars a tailor-made, up-to-date study on the topic of
economic change. This book will prove to be a compelling read for
students, scholars and policy makers of international business,
industrial organization and strategy.
Global money laundering transactions are estimated to be $3.5
trillion annually. Although global spending on anti-money
laundering compliance was more than $8 billion in 2017, with most
countries having adopted anti-money laundering measures, less than
1 per cent of illicit financial flows are seized by authorities.
This collection of essays takes an integrated look at money
laundering and the challenges facing regulators in the digital age.
The contributors examine the opportunities for money laundering
presented by the emergence of new payment methods, such as
crowdfunding and mobile payment services, the largely unregulated
financial services sector of hedge funds, private equity funds and
derivatives, the explosion of online gambling, and the rise of
cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. The essays show how the
anonymity, irreversibility and instantaneous nature of these online
transactions, outside of the traditional banking system, make them
ideally suited to hide, launder and move criminal revenues. While
highlighting the challenges these digital technologies present,
each essay also considers some of the tools regulators have and can
use to close down the opportunities for money laundering that
continues to keep crime profitable and illegal activities funded.
