Many of the recommendations, or best practices, are intrinsically embedded in design-driven organizations. Rice and Zegart offer a framework of questions and recommendations to help companies analyze and decrease their risk exposure. As the book points out, 'The probability of one of these risks happening in isolation to an organization is low, but the cumulative risk of one of them happening at some point in time is high” (Rice & Zegart, 2018). Ten specific categories of political risk are presented in the book: geopolitics, internal conflict, laws, regulations and policies, breaches of contract, corruption, extraterritorial reach, natural resource manipulations, social activism, terrorism and cyber threats. Paying close attention to human interactions and utilizing creative problem-solving in this climate is not a trend, but a business necessity. Understanding the vulnerabilities in a business model, supply chain or geopolitical relations grows urgent as the threat and impact of their disruption becomes more likely. Other companies who suffered through similar scenarios include, United Airlines, Facebook, Target, Starbucks, and Sony.
