“…identified that 30% of global CEOs recognised terrorism as one of the biggest threats facing their organisations. This means that businesses consider that proactively responding to violent conflict is strategically important for their performance and legitimacy(Kolk & Lenfant 2010;Oetzel & Getz 2012) and to avoid business failure(Enderwick 2001(Enderwick , 2006Kolk & Lenfant 2016;Oetzel & Getz 2012;Shrivastava 2005). …”

This paper contributes to the literature on business failure by investigating the relationship between terrorism and country-level global business failure by using a sample of 174 countries over the period 2009-2015. To proxy for business failure, the 'Resolving Insolvency' index, which is a component of the World Bank's 'Doing Business' index, was adapted and used. The results of the fixed-effects estimation show that terrorism has a positive and significant relationship with business failure for the full sample. When the sample is divided into developed, developing and fragile states, the results show that terrorism is positively and significantly related with business failure in developing and fragile states only. Estimates show that for every 100 terrorist incidents, business failure increases by 1% and 0.7% points, in South Asia and Sub Saharan Africa (SSA) countries, respectively. The findings contribute to our understanding of the effects of terrorism on business failure, and how this differs depending on whether the country is developing, developed, or is a fragile state.

“…The work of Scherer and Palazzo 143 and Schrempf-Stirling et al 144 in particular acknowledge the implicit political role that business plays in the current, highly globalized environment. One potential avenue for research between BHR and B4P scholars is then to examine the role of political CSR in conflict contexts, building upon the initial work done by Kolk and Lenfant, 145 Jamali and Mirshak 146 and Idemudia. 147 Another point of cooperation would be with respect to legal mechanisms to enhance both fields.…”

The fields of business and human rights (BHR) and business for peace (B4P) have overlaps in how they view business in society and in their multidisciplinary nature. This paper seeks to build on the work of BHR scholars in connecting with the B4P scholarly community, to bridge the divide by explaining the elements of the B4P literature that might be of interest for BHR scholars, and to describe a joint research agenda for scholars in both fields. The paper begins with a literature review of the major assertions and findings of B4P on the role that business can and should play in enhancing peace. Similarities and differences in approach and theories between BHR and B4P are then noted. A common research agenda is proposed that BHR and B4P scholars may use as a starting point for broader collaboration.

“…It is also worth noting that in the last decade new organizational forms appeared at the meeting point of business and non-profit sectors in the context of state withdrawal and new management methods, clearly revealing the blurring borders. This phenomenon has been largely investigated in the broader context of corporate responsibility, where business helps solve social problems, such as poverty or environmental degradation, and at the same time increasingly plays a strong public role [41].…”

The mechanisms of water supply company management have been dynamically evolving recently. This is particularly related to factors that regulate the functioning of companies in this sector. This applies both to embedding such entities in the legal structure, and the management rules at both the strategic and tactical-operational levels. It is increasingly important how decisions are made in the conditions of pressure, limitations, opportunities and threats that these companies, which create value for stakeholders, face. This way of making decisions is determined by the adopted model of business, strategy, business processes and strategic projects that create a kind of a strategic hybrid. The hybrid determines the effectiveness of water supply companies that operate in accordance with the rules of the regulated market.
