The book examines a relatively unexplored issue in supply chain risk management, which is how long companies specifically take to respond to catastrophic events of low probability but high impact. The book also looks at why such supply chain disruptions are unavoidable, and consequently, all complex supply chains are inherently at risk. The book illustrates how companies can respond to supply chain disruptions with faster responses and in shorter lead-times to reduce impact. In reducing total response time, designing solutions, and deploying a recovery plan sooner after a disruption in anticipation of such events, companies reduce the impact of disruption risk. The book also explores the basics of multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and how they contribute to both the quality of the financial economic decision-making process and the quality of the resulting decisions. The book illustrates through cases in the construction sector how this industry has become more complex and riskier due to the diverse nature of activities among global companies.

Risk Management in Public-Private Partnerships (Routledge Advances in Risk Management)

Reference

Public–Private Partnerships (PPP or 3Ps) allow the public sector to seek alternative funding and expertise from the private sector during procurement processes. Such partnerships, if executed with due diligence, often benefit the public immensely. Unfortunately, Public–Private Partnerships can be vulnerable to corruption. This book looks at what measures we can put in place to check corruption during procurement and what good governance strategies the public sector can adopt to improve the performance of 3Ps. 
The book applies mathematical models to analyze 3Ps. It uses game theory to study the interaction and dynamics between the stakeholders and suggests strategies to reduce corruption risks in various 3Ps stages. The authors explain through game theory-based simulation how governments can adopt a evaluating process at the start of each procurement to weed out undesirable private partners and why the government should take a more proactive approach. 
Using a methodological framework rooted in mathematical models to illustrate how we can combat institutional corruption, this book is a helpful reference for anyone interested in public policymaking and public infrastructure management.

This book examines corruption as a collective behaviour problem for entrepreneurs. In particular, it considers the Azjen's theory of planned behaviour (TPB) to explain perceived corruption and its effects on entrepreneurship. Heydari argues that behavioural intentions are shaped by variables such as attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural control. He proposes the novel Heydari Behavioral Synthesis Theory (HBST) model, and applies it to two case studies to highlight the institutional, individual and societal factors which may inhibit entrepreneurial behaviour. He concludes that corruption may persist not just because of difficulties in monitoring and prosecuting, but because it is systemically pervasive and discourages individual countermeasures. He closes by looking at anti-corruption policies and outlines future research directions. Arguing that widespread corruption may be theoretically mischaracterized in the literature, this book is of interest to policymakers, researchers, and postgraduate students in the fields of management science, industrial and organizational psychology, entrepreneurship, and corruption studies.
