A Transdisciplinary Understanding for Economic Rrisk Management

Abstract

Starting from the assumption that transdisciplinary is becoming a fourth research method (alongside the empirical, interpretive and critical approaches), we believe it is the favorable context for analysis as well as for sustained attempts to understand the sophisticated economy in a new conceptual framework placed at the forefront of knowledge. As a matter of fact, in accordance with the “Charter of Transdisciplinary” (Freitas & Morin & Nicolescu, Convento da Arrbida, [1]), from which we quote Article 12: “The development of a transdisciplinary economy is based on the postulate that the economy must serve the human being and not the reverse”, we will focus on several categories specifically for the economic risk, such as enterprise risk management, financial risk. In an attempt to systematize this approach, we searched to identify in the academic literature similar concerns and formulate some theoretical pillars on which to establish the transdisciplinary understanding and behavior concerning the existence of risks with economic particularity.
