The Global Risks Report 2017

The disruptive political events and social unrest of 2016 may pose significant operational and strategic risk for businesses. With events at the ballot box and on the streets exposing flaws in the systems of liberalism and globalization, business leaders must think differently about priorities and risk management practices. In partnership with the World Economic Forum, this 12th edition of the Global Risks Report provides an outlook on the threats facing the world in 2017 and examines some of their root causes: rising inequality, political polarization and nationalism, and disruptive technological change.
