Note from the publisher

Welcome to this new volume of The Journal of Risk Finance incorporating Balance Sheet; the first full volume to be produced by Emerald Group Publishing.

Our goals

Emerald provides inspiration for management thinkers by presenting new ideas and theories, which have been tested through practical application and deliver real insight. We aim to encourage you to gain insight through a three-step process that is applied to all our content:

• •

  Information: each article sets the context for a particular topic, informs current thinking, and adds to the body of knowledge.

• •

  Ideas: each article introduces new ideas, usually with recommendations as to how the ideas may be successfully applied. Additionally, the ideas stimulate further thinking.

• •

  Insight: Emerald articles cannot, on their own, generate insight. However, our goal is to link new ideas with your experience, knowledge and objectives, to promote insight into your area of interest.

Emerald works in partnership with both our users and our authors to constantly improve its service offering and to deliver real value, making Emerald the preferred source for management thinking world-wide in both academic and corporate institutions.

Corporate philosophy

As an internationally-recognized publisher, Emerald is committed to offering high quality, valuable products while honoring our pledge to contributors of enabling the widest possible dissemination of their work through traditional (via subscription) and non-traditional (via partnership) distribution models.

In selecting titles and topics for publication and inclusion in its publications and databases, Emerald successfully spans two worlds – the academic world of debate and theory, and the practitioner world of action, decision and practicality. Emerald strives to be the publisher of choice for academics, researchers and professionals in the fields of management and information science.

The Emerald Literati Club – an Emerald exclusive – extends to contributors and editors helpful resources, advice and guidance along every step of the article production process. We take pride in our high standards for writing and research, ensuring our published literature and database products are world-class and noteworthy.

It is with this philosophy in mind that we shall continue to develop The Journal of Risk Finance.
