This edited book explores the unique risks, opportunities,
challenges, and societal implications associated with big data
developments within the field of finance. While the general use of
big data has been the subject of frequent discussions, this book
will take a more focused look at big data applications in the
financial sector. With contributions from researchers,
practitioners, and entrepreneurs involved at the forefront of big
data in finance, the book discusses technological and
business-inspired breakthroughs in the field. The contributions
offer technical insights into the different applications presented
and highlight how these new developments may impact and contribute
to the evolution of the financial sector. Additionally, the book
presents several case studies that examine practical applications
of big data in finance. In exploring the readiness of financial
institutions to adapt to new developments in the big
data/artificial intelligence space and assessing different
implementation strategies and policy solutions, the book will be of
interest to academics, practitioners, and regulators who work in
this field.
This edited book aims to ignite both an academic and
practitioner-oriented discussion regarding the question how the
business and government sector can adapt to today's fast-changing
climate. Specifically, the collection seeks to explore how
businesses and policy makers can prepare for a world where
freshwater is scarce, extreme weather events are common, floods and
wildfires are frequent, and global sea levels rise by more than two
meters. In addition to assessing incremental approaches, it
explores strategies that employ interdisciplinary and innovative
solutions to climate change adaptation. The chapters included in
this book examine and propose business and policy solutions for
climate-induced economic, technical, urban, and societal
challenges. It draws on an international range of prominent authors
and, therefore, will be of interest for academics and practitioners
working in the field of sustainability management, sustainable
finance, sustainable operations management, food management,
strategy, and environmental management. It can also serve as a
valuable guide for practitioners and policymakers in those fields.
