Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • A bibliometric analysis of the climate risk literature: 2000-2021   Order a copy of this article
    by Richard Gregory 
    Abstract: This paper presents a bibliometric review of the last two decades' research in climate risk, providing a general picture of the research field regarding classification by paper, author, journal, and publisher. The main objectives of this study are to identify the most relevant research in this field and uncover the newest trends from the information in the Web of Science database. An analysis of the most influential journals, the most cited papers, and the most productive and influential authors are made. Climate risk as a new field of study has undergone tremendous growth in research and popularity but still offers open challenges.
    Keywords: climate risk; bibliometrics.

  • Enterprise Risk Management: A Review and Conceptual Framework Encompassing Management and Accounting & Finance Disciplines   Order a copy of this article
    by Sankalp Naik, Ch V. V. S. N. V. Prasad 
    Abstract: Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) has gained increasing traction from investors, lenders, and regulators alike because of the increasing complexity of risks, higher frequency of uncertain events, and ERMs perceived benefits of value creation and performance improvement, along with transparency and better compliance. However, the debate over the form and shape of ERM and the tangibility of its benefits still lingers among accounting and finance and management scholars the two primary disciplines contributing to ERM research. This literature review aims to propose a conceptual framework identifying the core components of ERM and detail the role of ERM in firm performance and value creation by incorporating both accounting and finance and management perspectives. This study lays the theoretical foundations, identifies ERM components, and suggests future academic research opportunities. It also makes a strong case for the adoption of ERM by practitioners.
    Keywords: enterprise risk management; firm value; firm performance; conceptual framework.

  • Investment choices, oil prices, and assets volatility: the curious case of crypto currencies   Order a copy of this article
    by Saransh Royal, Kamaljit Singh, Ramesh Chander 
    Abstract: Liquidity-driven positive disposition is luring the market, and Robin Hood investors are the primary cause of buoyancy in the asset prices. This paper aims to investigate the price volatility of investment choices and volatility transmission across investment choices in the crypto, stock market assets (S&P 500 index), metal (gold price), crude prices, and US Bond yields using panel data analysis over the period, December 2019 to December 2021. Investigations into the long-term relationships and quantification of short-term associations in asset prices are carried out using the fully modified ordinary least squares and dynamic ordinary least squares frameworks. The findings reveal a positive relationship between cryptocurrencies and market indices. However, for oil prices, the association is negative and distinctive. The study suggested that crypto assets are like traditional equity investments. Additionally, in the case of crude prices, investments are driven by the transaction motives of participants rather than speculative intentions.
    Keywords: cryptocurrency; oil prices; gold prices; stock prices; bond yield.

  • Challenges related to emerging risk management   Order a copy of this article
    by Luciano Morabito, Benoit Robert 
    Abstract: The literature agrees on the importance of Integrated Risk Management (IRM) to address the challenges posed by emerging risks. However, many organisations that attempt to implement an IRM initiative experience deep frustrations because they simply cannot succeed despite the devotion of energy and resources. Indeed, although the literature is fairly rich on the topic, we find very few documents that explain in a comprehensive manner for practitioners what emerging risks are, how their management is different from that of traditional risks and what it implies for organisations to implement IRM initiatives. Based on a literature review, the objective of this paper is to fill this gap by providing practitioners with a better understanding of traditional and emerging risks and the differences between them. Building on this understanding, we explain the challenges associated with managing emerging risks and why traditional approaches to risk management are limited when faced with these challenges. Lastly, we demonstrate why risk governance approaches based on social constructivism must be employed to address emerging risks.
    Keywords: emerging risk; framework; governance; integrated risk management; social constructivism.
