Information Risk And Longrun Performance of Initial Public Offerings

Security has been a human concern since the dawn of time. With the rise of the digital society, information security has rapidly grown to an area of serious study and ongoing research. While much research has focused on the technical aspects of computer security, far less attention has been given to the management issues of information risk and the economic concerns facing firms and nations. Managing Information Risk and the Economics of Security provides leading edge thinking on the security issues facing managers, policy makers, and individuals.

This book, with a focus on the establishment of urban public security risk prevention and control system, carries out a comprehensive review and a comparative study of its development. It provides a systematical analysis to the inevitable security issues in the process of urban development and conducts an in-depth discussion on the background of times featuring heightened security risks as well as the main sources of current urban public security risks. In addition to analyzing the inner structure and development motivations, this book further summarizes the inner mechanism for the effective operation of urban risk prevention and control system and elaborates on the reasons why grassroots governance plays a vital role throughout the whole process. Moreover, this book sheds some light on the future development of urban security risk prevention and control system.

This book includes the insights of a seminar that was held at IUAV University of Venice, on May 29th and 30th featuring 10 speakers. 8 speakers, 2 moderators, and 1 organizer from the seminar, plus 10 other authors contributed to this book. The writers’ expertise spans from local climate adaptation planning, public policy analysis, climate and environmental finance, and climate adaptation advocacy to multi-risk analysis, GIS, disaster risk management, ecosystem services assessment, urban geography, art, and civic engagement.
