Risk Management and Financial Decision-Making in Managerial Finance

Dear Colleagues,

The Journal of Risk and Financial Management invites submissions for a Special Issue on “Risk Management and Financial Decision-Making in Managerial Finance”. We seek high-quality theoretical, empirical, and methodological studies that advance our understanding of risk management and financial decision-making. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Enterprise risk management and management decision making-Enterprise risk management (ERM) promises to improve decision-making and help organizations avoid wicked problems. It is interesting to explore the diverse areas where ERM can make a positive impact on the corporate decision-making process.
• Risk management for Small and Medium Enterprise–We need more research that explores the potential benefits for adopting strategic risk management policies for SME owners and potential financial impact of such practices.
• Artificial intelligence in risk management and financial decision-making process–Research examining the ethical implications of using AI in financial decision-making for both financial and non-financial sector could enhance ethical application of AI in the decision-making process.
• Sustainability risk management–We need more evidence on how risk management systems relate to sustainability practices. Such issues need reexamination from both theoretical and practical perspective.
• C-suite approach toward risk-management and financial decision–Research examining the impact c-suite executive make toward promoting a risk management strategy could deepen our understanding on the importance of management style and good governance in risk management.  
• Theoretical perspective on risk management–The special issue encourages qualitative exploration of risk management and financial decisions in managerial finance.
• Country level differences in risk management–Cultural differences could shape how corporations deal with risk management. We encourage original research into related issues.

Submissions should address significant challenges and propose innovative solutions at the intersection between risk management and financial decision-making in managerial finance. Both theoretical insights and practical applications are encouraged.
