Special Issue: Risk Governance
Risk governance fills the gap between the institutionally oriented field of corporate governance and the methodologically oriented area of risk management. As such, it covers a broad range of topics, including the identification, evaluation, controlling, and communication of various types of risks, together with institutional questions how to establish a risk culture in organizations. The research group “risk governance”, founded at the University of Siegen with members from the universities in Siegen and Hagen, aims at gaining new insights into this field from an academic perspective. In October 2015, the group hosted its 3rd annual conference, bridging theory and practice with 18 presentations of academics and practitioners. About 70 participants attended the conference, which has become an established platform for risk governance researchers and decision makers.
In its third year, the conference was accompanied by a special issue of the Journal of Business Economics. Participants as well as researches who could not attend the conference were invited to submit their papers to the journal in the aftermath of the conference. We received 13 high-quality submissions both from the conference and from outside, which were subject to a blind peer-review process with at least two referees per paper. As a result of the review process, five outstanding contributions could be selected for the special issue.
