Financial and Systematic Risks of Enterprises

Dear Colleagues,

Risk and uncertainty are key attributes of all human activities, especially business ones. Research and development of new products, the introduction of modern technologies, entrances to new markets, mergers and acquisitions, large investment projects, corporate restructuring, etc. are examples of activities whose future results are uncertain and may deviate from planned or anticipated results. A prerequisite for a prosperous business is a successful risk management, so risk analysis in the current global and dynamically changing market environment has become an integral part of business analysis. The importance of the financial and systematic risks management is intensified in the current conditions, when the global spread of COVID-19 is affecting the enterprises; knowing how to reduce the accompanying risks is key.

This Special Issue is particularly interested in papers focusing on (1) entrepreneurship in small and medium-sized enterprises; (2) mathematical modeling in economics and management; and (3) impact of COVID-19 on the operation of enterprises.

We invite authors to contribute original research articles in theory, practice, and applications on financial and systematic risks of enterprises with emphasis on the invisible business risks of COVID-19. All submissions must contain original unpublished work not being considered for publication elsewhere.
