POLITICAL RISK How Businesses and Organizations Can Anticipate Global Insecurity

Developed from a Stanford MBA course, this well-crafted analysis is made even more accessible by narrator Grace Angela Henry's audible connection with the authors' ideas. Her serious tone fits the topic--global threats to business security and economic stability--but her warm and comfortable delivery keeps the weighty subject matter from sounding too heavy. Political scientists Rice (former secretary of state) and Zegart provide a cogent framework for anticipating, managing, and recovering from business disruptions, which they say can come from grassroots movements--against SeaWorld for its treatment of whales, for example--and from both government and impromptu political forces--such as Venezuela's banning of Coke Zero and the Charlie Hebdo attack. The audio is a shining example of how well-developed thinking and the right narrator can make a complex subject sound immensely absorbing.
