With the frequent and rapid advancements in technology, businesses are increasingly vulnerable to sophisticated cyber attacks. This accessible guide provides small business owners and non-technical managers with a framework for responding to cyber-attacks in real time. Designed as a practical incident response for businesses without dedicated IT security teams, Preparing for and Dealing with Cyber Threats can be used during an actual crisis. From recognizing the early warning signs, through to recovering and building long-term resilience for your business, Stephen Dunn guides you through the complete incident response journey and demonstrates how readers can transfer these skills into other areas of their business. Each chapter provides actionable templates, checklists and design-making frameworks that are designed to work when readers are under extreme stress. With templates and geography-specific information provided in appendices, this is your one-stop resource for preparing your business to tackle cyber attacks, and to provide your team with the skills to prevent them going forward.

Preparing for and Dealing with Cyber Threats

Routledge Research in Strategic Management

Contemporary organizations operate in environments defined by systemic openness and deep interdependence across economic, technological, institutional and socio-political systems. This book introduces the concept of strategic exposure to explain how firms navigate these interconnected fields, where competitive advantage depends not on defending isolated positions, but on governing exposure and adapting to continuous change. This book offers three integrative frameworks: the Strategic Field Framework, the Strategy Parachute, and the Renewal Loop. It provides tools for diagnosing exposure, coordinating across boundaries, and renewing advantage. Grounded in executive interviews, case studies, and pedagogical experiments, it combines conceptual synthesis with real-world insights to explore how organizations manage interdependence, legitimacy pressures, and competitive erosion. Aimed at researchers, scholars and postgraduate students in strategic management, international business, and organization studies, it also offers valuable insights for reflective practitioners and policymakers working in globally interconnected industries. By reframing strategy for open systems, the book provides a fresh perspective on how organizations can thrive in an era of uncertainty and interdependence.

What can a Roman coin, a Chumash shell necklace, and a Bitcoin tell us about world history? This book traces the surprising life of money across centuries and civilizations. The Daily Life of Money in History offers an eye-opening look at how humans have exchanged value across time and cultures. Each of the 150 entries explores a single object-beautifully illustrated and deeply contextualized-to uncover how people bought, sold, traded, saved, and survived through the ages. Designed with researchers, educators, students, and curious readers in mind, this richly visual volume brings together cultural history, economic life, and global exchange in a highly accessible format. Each object includes origin details, historical purchasing power, and its legacy today-making it an ideal reference for classrooms, libraries, and history lovers alike.

Palgrave Studies in Public Debt, Spending, and Revenue

This book examines the interplay of professional norms and political accountability in the process of making decisions about whether, how, and how much debt state and local governments should incur. The careful analysis of accountability in actual decisions, focusing particularly on whether and how individual and collective decision-making behavior responds to general (stipulated) norms and situational (negotiated) expectations in their broader social contexts, is a familiar approach in the study of management and public organizations generally, but has not been extensively applied to this area of public financial decision making. Political economists, especially those identified with the public-choice approach, have done extensive macro-level normative and theoretical analysis of public debt, but not in an empirically rich fashion. This book therefore constitutes a missing link that uses analyses of selected cases to advance conceptual understandings of organizational accountability spaces in general, and decisions to incur public indebtedness and the implications of those decisions specifically, by examining the intersection of the macro, meso, and micro levels of expectations for and practices of public financial decision making.

Professionalism and Accountability in Public Finance Decision-Making

Debt Reckoning

This book examines the implications of introducing a central bank digital currency (CBDC) within an economy, focusing on its interplay with the existing monetary system, banking structures, and macroeconomic environments. CBDC, representing a new form of central bank money, is motivated by technological and demand driven factors and marks a structural change in the monetary system with the aim of not disrupting its functional balance. The results suggest that CBDC demand is cyclical, increasing during high inflation scenarios due to behavioral changes and decreasing cash utility, with significant implications for central bank operations and monetary policy implementation. Survey-based data support the assumptions and results of the model, demonstrating that CBDC demand is heterogenous, varies with economic conditions, and is interest rate sensitive. Microlevel analyses underscore the heterogeneity among banks and countries in the euro area, revealing varying levels of preparedness and resilience to potential liquidity and refinancing shocks. Scenarios exploring different holding limits highlight that a low initial limit supports harmonized implementation and minimizes systemic risks, while market-driven flexibility for higher limits could be feasible under central bank supervision. The findings emphasize the importance of risk-reducing measures, particularly with respect to holding limits, to balance financial stability and effective monetary policy implementation.

Advances in Japanese Business and Economics

This book is the first comprehensive account of the rules and practices─the microstructure─of the Dojima Security Exchange (DSE), the world’s first futures market. Despite worldwide interest in the DSE and its relevance to modern financial markets, it is only briefly touched upon as the earliest example of a futures market in most of the existing literature in English.&nbsp; Until the publication of this book, there has been no comprehensive account in English of the rules and practices of the DSE.The DSE emerged in Osaka, Japan, around the turn of the eighteenth century. In Tokugawa Japan (1603–1867), the shogunate and local lords levied taxes in rice and exchanged rice for currency in rice markets to finance their expenditures. Osaka had the biggest rice market in Japan throughout the Tokugawa period, and most local lords stored rice in their own warehouses in Osaka, selling rice at auctions. Successful bidders received&nbsp;“rice certificates”&nbsp;instead of rice itself, and each rice certificate could be exchanged for a pre-specified quantity of rice any time before its expiration at the issuer’s warehouse. These certificates were actively traded in the DSE.The spot market in the DSE was the market for exchanging rice certificates. In turn, the futures market was the market for the trading of nominal rice derived from one of the representative rice certificates among about 30 brands. There is no physical delivery of rice in the spot market and there is no physical delivery of rice or rice certificate in the futures market—even on the maturity date. All the futures trades at the DSE should be settled by simply paying or receiving the payoﬀ&nbsp;defined as the diﬀerence in price between the time of selling (buying) and buying back (selling back). The futures trade was called&nbsp;‘Cho-Ai-Mai’, which literally means&nbsp;‘the rice trades on the book’, and implies that there is no physical delivery of rice or rice certificate.
