The Risk Management research area deals with the management of corporate risks under the perspectives of process management, corporate governance and accounting; and the management of network risks in the supply chain perspective. In particular, regarding the organization's perspective, the research team works on models and techniques for risk assessment (identification, analysis and evaluation) and risk treatment with the scope to assure effective and efficient process management, minimizing the Total Cost of Risk. From the corporate governance and accounting perspective, the research interests focus on the mechanisms of risk management within the corporate governance structures, the implementation of enterprise risk management models, and the effects of risk management on the firm's performance and the quality of financial and non-financial disclosure. Referring to the supply chain perspective, the research team investigates risk assessment and mitigation strategies in the supply chains, resilient supply chains, business continuity and the management of emergent risks which are particularly critical for supply chains (business interruption, cyber risk, reputational risk, commodity price risk). The research field relies both on qualitative research designs and empirical quantitative analyses based on primary as well as secondary sources.
