Fully updated for today's hospitality industry, this is an essential and engaging read for hospitality students, future managers and existing managers alike.

A Guide to Best Practice

Human Resource Management in the Hospitality Industry

Routledge International Studies in Money and Banking

The Global Financial Crisis revealed that systemic fragility arises not only from identifiable risks but also from systemic uncertainty - the endogenous and often unpredictable dynamics that build up within financial systems and amplify across time and space. More than a decade later, this dual challenge remains pressing as the rising inequality and geopolitical insecurity have underscored the vulnerability of interconnected economies and societies.This book illustrates how agent-based modelling (ABM) can enrich the study of crises, systemic risk and uncertainty, and the distributional effects of policies that are designed to contain them. Rather than treating crises as external shocks, the book highlights how fragility can emerge endogenously within economies that are understood as complex, evolving systems. Through clear explanations and targeted applications, it not only demonstrates how ABM can capture the effects of macroprudential regulation on the real economy and inequality and shed light on moments of financial instability but also provides a practical guide to building such data-driven models in the first place. At the same time, it situates these insights within a broader discussion of contagion, procyclicality and global financial regulation, thus connecting the modelling results with ongoing debates on how best to safeguard financial stability. Further, it offers a valuable synthesis of lessons learned from advanced economies, illustrating how institutional design and macroprudential policy can strengthen financial resilience while also generating significant redistributive effects across sectors and households.The book is primarily aimed at an academic audience of scholars and advanced students in economics, finance and computational social science. It will also appeal to professionals in central banks, regulators and policymakers engaged in designing and evaluating macroprudential frameworks.Jagoda Kaszowska-Mojsa is a researcher and lecturer and holds positions at the National Bank of Poland and Cracow University of Economics, Poland.

Corporate governance is failing-not because boards lack intelligence, experience, or diligence, but because the systems they rely on no longer surface the information that truly matters.Across industries and jurisdictions, boards approve strategies, review risk lists, receive assurance reports, and comply with governance codes-yet remain blindsided by catastrophic failures. Safety collapses. Cultural scandals erupt. Financial integrity breaks down. Courts increasingly ask the same question after the fact: Why didn't the board know?Mission Critical Governance exposes the root cause of this failure: boards govern without a clearly defined purpose and without reliable oversight of the mission-critical objectives that determine enterprise survival and success.Drawing on decades of governance practice, landmark court decisions, behavioural science, and emerging regulatory expectations, this book challenges the dominant "checklist" model of governance and replaces it with a new architecture built for uncertainty. It introduces a practical, evidence-based framework that enables boards to:<ul> <li>Define and disclose board purpose with clarity and accountability</li> <li>Identify and oversee Mission-Critical Objectives (MCOs) </li> <li>Quantify and report uncertainty using Acceptable / Unacceptable Uncertainty thresholds</li> <li>Measure confidence in information through the Board Assurance Index (BAI) </li> <li>Integrate risk, assurance, culture, and performance into a single oversight system</li> <li>Break the destructive Don't Tell / Don't Ask governance syndrome</li> </ul>This is not a compliance manual. It is a redesign of governance itself-from ritual to responsibility, from risk lists to real oversight, from comfort to confidence.Written for board directors, executives, regulators, investors, auditors, and risk leaders, Mission-Critical Governance provides a clear roadmap for transforming governance into a disciplined, purpose-anchored system capable of earning trust, withstanding scrutiny, and guiding organizations through an era of relentless uncertainty.The question is no longer whether boards must govern differently. The question is whether they will lead-or wait for courts, crises, and capital markets to force the change.
