Säkerhetspolitiskt har EU fått en allt större betydelse och unionen spelar en avgörande roll för produktivitet, tekniska framsteg och jobbskapande. För den fragmenterade globala handelspolitiken framstår den inre marknaden som en räddning samtidigt som unionens ambitiösa reglering riskerar att påverka europeiska företags konkurrenskraft negativt. Såväl den geopolitiska världsordningen som högerpopulistiska framgångar ökar trycket på Europas demokratier, rättsstatsprincip och liberala värden. I denna utgåva av Europaperspektiv sätter vi sökarljuset på vikten av sammanhållning och slagkraft i EU för att möta de geopolitiska utmaningarna. Ett antal centrala frågor diskuteras: Hur kan samsyn uppnås om verkställandet av den militära upprustningen i Europa och om säkerheten i dess närområde? Kan EU verka slagkraftigt för att rättsstaten upprätthålls i medlemsländerna? Kan en gemensam kapitalförsörjning och en mer sammanhållen företagsbeskattning öka unionens ekonomiska slagkraft?

In this book, two experts on the topic raise the question of why many ERM programmes end up as box-checking silos with almost no connection to important decision-making processes, whereas others are empowered and end up having a profound impact on the firm’s culture, governance structures, and strategy process. The book establishes a path to empowered ERM by drawing on insights from theory and hard-won lessons from practice. Success factors enabling this transition are thoroughly discussed in a start-to-finish narrative describing the theoretical underpinnings of ERM, its proven best practices, and onto more advanced topic such as risk budgeting and the integration of ERM into strategic decision-making.
