A Special Issue of Information Sciences
On Business Intelligence in Risk Management
Introduction
Risks exist in every aspect of our lives, and can mean different
things to different people, while negatively in general they always
cause a great deal of potential damage and inconvenience for the
stakeholders. For example, recent disaster risks include terrorism
leading to the gassing of the Japanese subway system, to
9/11/2001, to bombings of Spanish and British transportation
systems, and the SARS virus disrupting public and business
activities, particularly in Asia. More recently, the H1N1 virus has
sharpened the awareness of the response system world-wide; the
financial crisis has resulted in recession in all aspects of theeconomy(Wu and Olson 2009).
Risk management has become a vital topic in both academia
and practice during the past several decades. Integrated approaches
are required to manage risks facing an organization; sometimes
effective risk-taking strategies may involve new business
philosophies such as enterprise risk management.
Most business intelligence tools have been used for
enhancing risk management, and the risk management tools benefit
from business intelligence approaches. For example, artificial
intelligence models such as neural networks and support vector
machines have been widely used for establishing the early warning
system for monitoring a companys financial status (e.g., Martens
et al. 2007; Alfaro et al. 2008; Lin and Chen 2007). Agent-based
theories are employed in supply chain risk management (e.g., Julka
et al. 2002; Liang and Huang, 2006). Business intelligence models
are also useful in hedging financial risks by incorporating market
risks, credit risks, and operational risks (Wu and Olson 2009).
Investigation of business intelligence tools in risk management is
beneficial to both practitioners and academic researchers.
