The report argues that the events of the past year have revealed a fundamental need to change thinking on global risks and how they are managed. With unprecedented levels of interconnectedness between all areas of risk, the report stresses that the need to combat governance gaps globally is greater than ever. It argues that this can only be addressed by an overhaul of current values and behaviours by decision-makers to improve coordination and supervision.

¿Cuánto ha empeorado la imagen de España? (ARI)

En este trabajo se analiza la evolución de la imagen de España entre 2009 y 2011 a partir de la encuesta que realiza anualmente el Reputation Institute en todo el mundo. En el lado positivo, los resultados indican que la percepción de España en el mundo ha empeorado, aunque mucho menos que la de Grecia. En el aspecto negativo, sin embargo, hay que destacar que el deterioro es similar al de Irlanda y Portugal, que fueron países rescatados por la UE, con lo cual se puede hablar de un claro efecto contagio y de un efecto "performativo" de la etiqueta de PIGS, que ha contaminado la imagen de nuestro país, aunque no estuviese en la situación de Grecia, Portugal e Irlanda.

Las compras de deuda llevadas a cabo por el Banco Central Europeo han sido bien recibidas por los Directores Financieros de las principales empresas españolas, quienes las consideran positivas y efectivas. Esta es una de las conclusiones que se desprenden de la sexta oleada de la Encuesta a la Dirección Financiera en España, elaborada por Deloitte semestralmente, en la que han participado cerca de 150 directivos de las principales corporaciones empresariales del país. Además, a la hora de reducir la prima de riesgo de los países periféricos, los encuestados apuestan por la aplicación de medidas de estímulo económico y creación de empleo, así como por llegar a un compromiso de los países para la reducción del déficit estructural.

La escasez de recursos, junto con las difíciles circunstancias económicas por las que atraviesa España, se ha convertido en un caldo de cultivo perfecto para la proliferación de los delitos económicos en nuestro país. En 2011, casi la mitad de las empresas españolas -el 47%- reconoce haber sido víctima de algún tipo de fraude. Un porcentaje muy superior al de las compañías europeas -el 30,2%- y al declarado por las propias empresas españolas en nuestro informe de 2009 -34,5%-.

Según la CBB, durante 2010 la actividad de las empresas pequeñas volvió a contraerse, aunque lo hizo a un ritmo más moderado que el año anterior, mostrando una evolución muy similar a la registrada por las compañías de menor dimensión de la CBA en este mismo período. Esta trayectoria contrasta con la del total de la muestra de CBA (con gran peso de medianas y grandes), para el que, según se comenta en el texto principal, durante dicho ejercicio se registró un cierto avance de la actividad productiva.

La Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económicos (OCDE) afirmó que, a menos que se tomen medidas políticas "contundentes" para atajar la crisis en la eurozona, las consecuencias serán "devastadoras" para la economía mundial. El informe da por hecho que la Europa a 17 está en recesión (prevé una caída del PIB del 1% este trimestre y del 0,4% en el primero de 2012, en tasa anualizada) y advierte a los países de la OCDE que, si los políticos europeos no actúan de forma rápida, deben "prepararse para lo peor": un "sálvese quien pueda" en el que la unión monetaria podría romperse y varios países entrarían en una fase de "impagos desordenados". En el caso extremo, que el organismo ve improbable, se rompería el euro y el mundo entraría en "una profunda depresión" con caídas del 3% en el producto interior bruto (PIB).

Banks in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) expect to face a whole new layer of business imperatives as fundamental economic and demographic changes unfold in their countries. A gradual shift away from traditional government-driven, large oil-based enterprises to industries such as telecommunications, finance and tourism is creating new avenues for economic growth. As these industries grow, banks will be addressing a more diverse customer base including long neglected segments such as the small and medium enterprises. The target audience for banks will also include youth, especially women-a growing segment on account of higher employment and a demographically young profile. Mobile technologies and the growing number of Internet users are opening up new distribution formats, complementing conventional ways to reach the customer.

The global volume of mergers and acquisitions in the first half of 2011 was put at around EUR 900 billion. Yet the failure rate seems almost as high as the takeover rate. The biggest stumbling block is going about integration and synergy management the wrong way. Google ingests Motorola Mobility. Beer giant SABMiller launches a hostile takeover bid for Australia's number one beer brand Foster's. Fiat acquires a majority stake in Chrysler. US pharmaceuticals service provider Express Scripts swallows rival Medco Health Solutions. Microsoft buys Skype. And Volkswagen seeks to make a big splash on the international commercial vehicle market by snapping up MAN. Browse through the business press and it seems companies are acquiring and merging like there is no tomorrow.
Resource Revolution: Meeting the world's energy, materials, food, and water needs

The English thinker Malthus argued in his famous Essay on the principle of population in 1798 that there was no longer sufficient land in the world to feed a rapidly growing world population, threatening poverty and famine. But an agro-industrial revolution soon transformed the economies of Europe and North America, and his fears proved unfounded. In more recent years, the conventional wisdom has taken hold that market forces would always come to the rescue. Until ten years ago, this hope was largely fulfilled. During most of the 20th century, resource prices, whether they be food, water, energy or steel, declined despite strong growth in the world's population and even stronger growth in GDP. This price fall was due to a combination of new low-cost sources of supply and technological innovation.
Is the Management Team Right?. A study of CEO changes in European private equity-backed portfolio companies for 2004-2011

It is not surprising to learn that unplanned CEO changes in portfolio companies increased in frequency after the collapse of Lehman Brothers in September 2008 and during the subsequent global recession. Private equity investors have always believed that having the right CEO in a portfolio company is critically important to achieve the highest returns on their investment. In many cases, private equity firms reacted swiftly to a very different scenario than the one they prepared for at the time of their investment decision. Indeed, as soon as early 2010 a number of further CEO changes were made as companies that had completed their restructuring and stabilisation were in need of an injection of different leadership skills to develop and execute growth plans.

The global life insurance industry witnessed growth in 2010 mainly in the Asian region. The growth trend is likely to continue in 2011, although profit margins are expected to remain under pressure. Regional differences exist, with emerging markets growing at a faster rate than mature markets. The industry is witnessing shifting trends in front office, policy administration, and claims-the three core functions of the insurance value chain. In this paper, we explore key emerging trends in the claims management function as insurers continue to struggle with manual and time intensive claims processing functions.

The pressure on governments to make better choices, deliver results and demonstrate accountability is intensifying. There are new dynamics in the relationships among citizens, organizations and their governments long in the making. "Open" principles such as accessibility, transparency, collaboration and participation lie at the heart of these expectations. At the same time, leaders tell us that they continue to struggle with the information explosion and use different approaches and technologies to manage all of it. They acknowledge both a perpetual information explosion and persistent "data paradoxes" - the management dilemma associated with having too much data and too little insight.

The long view: getting new perspective on strategic risk
- Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU)

Risk management is outgrowing its origins as a tactical, operational discipline and becoming more tightly embedded with the strategy-setting process. At a majority of firms in a recent Economist Intelligence Unit survey, the risk function now plays a formal role in strategy-setting and in evaluating new market investments. Most risk managers in the survey also say their organisation is effective at linking risk management with strategy. There is a long way to go, however, before senior management fully take on board the analysis of long-term risks when charting the organisation's long-term strategy. Scenario planning, for example, is used widely in long-term risk analysis, but at few companies (no more than 20% in the survey) do such risk scenarios figure in long-term strategic planning. And risks tend to be considered over a shorter period of time than strategic objectives-a clear indication of misalignment.
