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.

This book’s goal is to determine the significance of visual
culture in the production of contemporary poetry and to sound out
the insights poetry might generate into contemporary visual
culture. Its main hypothesis is that poetry holds considerable
potential for (post-)digital language, image, and media criticism.
The visual dimensions of recent poetry encompass, for instance,
kinetic writing in digital poetry, visual elements in social media
poems, and (spoken and written) text-image interactions in poetry
films as well as in book poetry. The articles examine these medial
correlations and their political implications by asking how visual
culture is applied, exposed, and debated in poetry. This volume
brings together contributions by authors from various countries
working in disciplines such as literary, media, and film studies,
linguistics, cultural and visual culture studies, and in poetic
practice. It covers poetry in English, German, Norwegian, Polish,
Ukrainian, Russian, Serbian, and also multilingual works. The book
thus aims to promote international exchange between poetry
researchers and stimulate further investigation into current
relations between poetry and visuality from additional research
perspectives and languages.
This volume tackles contemporary problems of legal accommodation of
diversity in Europe and recent developments in the area in diverse
European legal regimes. Despite professing the motto Unity in
Diversity Europe appears to be struggling with discord rather than
unity. Legal discussions reflect a crisis when it comes to matters
of migration, accommodation of minorities and dealing with the
growing heterogeneity of European societies. This volume
illustrates that the current legal conundrums stem from European
oscillation between, on the one hand, acknowledging the need of
accommodation, and, on the other, the tendencies to preserve
existing legal traditions. It claims that these opposite tendencies
have led Europe to the edge of pluralism. This 'edge', just as the
linguistic interpretation of the word 'edge', carries multiple
meanings conveying a plethora of problems encountered by law when
dealing with diversity. The authors attempt to explore and
illustrate these multiple edges of pluralism tracing back their
origins and examining the contemporary legal conundrums they have
led to. The volume encourages the readers to explore whether there
are fundamental problems with approaches to diversity and if so can
they be rescued from their current precarious position. It asks
whether Europe at the edge is truly capable to unite in diversity
and develop a constructive approach to its growing pluralism. The
book is aimed at academics, practitioners and students focusing
their work on contemporary problems of diversity, multiculturalism
and accommodation of migrants as well as everybody interested in
the area.
Family-owned and family-run firms, which are mostly small and
medium-sized enterprises, are important when it comes to tourist
destinations. It is therefore essential to understand how family
firms address future risks and the challenges they face as part of
the tourism industry. Since family businesses play such an
important role for the entire tourism industry, it is worthwhile to
analyze this business type when it comes to organizational
resilience. Further, the development of practical solutions from
field or case studies are beneficial for creating valuable learning
effects for both firms and destinations alike. The examination of
one risk scenario and its successful or missing management might be
beneficial to create useful learning effects for the future.
Therefore, it is essential to understand contemporary issues and
future challenges of family firms in the hospitality/service
industry and to examine different perspectives at an individual,
firm, and destination management level. Resiliency Models and
Addressing Future Risks for Family Firms in the Tourism Industry
provides an in-depth examination of tourism family firms, since
these firms are essential for supplying solutions for challenges
such as dealing with uncertainty, becoming or remaining resilient,
and creating sustainable tourism destinations. The chapters address
the challenges of sustainability and resilience in an uncertain
world and connects knowledge from family business research to
tourism research, focusing on hospitality. Highlighted topics
include organization ambidexterity, pandemic risk, firm management
and leadership, and technology use in firm operations. This book is
essential for family firms, hotel management, entrepreneurs,
restaurateurs, tourism professionals, academicians, researchers,
and students seeking the most advanced research on family firm's
resilience and risk management within the tourism industry.
