Risco político e internacionalização de empresas: uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

This work aims to analyze how the national and international literature has explored variables that have an impact on the perception of political risk within an enterprise's internationalization process. The lack of specialized bibliography in Brazil and the difficulty for entrepreneurs to plan the internationalization hinder reaching clear parameters of how to measure political risk and strategies to mitigate this type of risk. The bibliographical section of Kobrin from 1978 was used a theoretical framework and whose definitions provided the initial parameter to identify the opinions of other authors on the topic. The methodology used gathered bibliographic content for defining political risk in 41 articles of international journals downloaded from databases made available on the Internet and handled through the software program EndNote 6. A content analysis using the software "R" identified "variables" as a sub-topic. The discussion presents the identification of political, economic, and socio-cultural variables that can be quantified in future studies and will make it possible to establish a mitigation of the risks and achieve success in the internationalization process.

Reviewing Cyber Security Social Engineering Training and Awareness Programs—Pitfalls and Ongoing Issues

“…Hackers leverage the confirmation prejudice and exploit intellectual dissonance to target like-minded groups and influence specific groups of people to outdo training and awareness programs of personnel [32]. Moreover, Costa and Figueira [33] suggest that governments should legislate more security laws and take actions on organizations to force them to enhance their training and awareness programs against social engineering threats. It is very important to ensure that all staff is in compliance with the various legal policies to confirm that no security law is broken [34].…”

“…They should specifically include all required activities in sequence for facilitating firm-based training and awareness programs. Briefly, training and awareness programs enhance the development of the capabilities of staff that are expected to see a broader picture towards containing organizational vulnerabilities [31,33,34]. Lastly, to better enhance coordination in handling dynamic socially engineered attacks, training coordinators and instructors need to stay updated and regularly attend the latest conferences to better know how to develop in-house training.…”
