    The dynamics of global risks: Sociopolitical risks in strategic management and policy decisions
    (De Gruyter, 2023-04-12) Marolla, Cesar
    The development of the risk landscape has shifted significantly in recent years. The magnitude and consequence of more varied risks than ever previously experienced create new hazards, and exacerbate existing ones. Global risks such as climate change, environmental pollution, globalised economies that are increasing the polarization of wealth and income, public health hazards disrupting socio-economic and political stability, and cyber-terrorism are just some examples of the sources of uncertainty in deterministic dynamics of shocks in risk. The aforementioned risks that arise from political (governmental and other) behavior and events, and adverse social conditions associated with poor health, such as food insecurity and housing instability are rooted into the challenges of the 21st century, and they create social, political and economic shocks that shape a particular environment and how these affect organizations, nations, and the lives of its inhabitants. This chapter addresses the research question: “How can world leaders integrate the social and political risks into strategic management and policy decisions?”

    Urban Climate Health Risks and Resilience
    (MDPI AG, 2024-03-26) Marolla, Cesar
    The effects of climate change health impacts on urban health care systems and vulnerable populations are a researched topic with foundations on urban risk management, urban health methodologies, and sustainable urbanization. As climate change is a dynamic and transformative global issue the gap between adaptation and mitigation efforts and urban planning relies, among other things, in the limitations of previous studies of risk management structures tailored to the existing strategy to calculate the uncertainties and predict their influence on urban systems and subsystems. Moreover, Although, there is vast documentation on health and urbanization challenges facing climate change impacts, little is known about climate health risks affecting the megacities’ urban poor and the available methodologies to cope with climate health risks in urban environments. Climate and health is a well-researched issue, it is also complex as the methodologies and strategic approach to minimize health risks of climate change is intrinsically contingent to risk methodologies and policy-making processes that are efficient with support of knowledge-based information. This paper emphasis the need for strategic applications and frameworks on urban health risk management methods that serves to identify potential opportunities, and then manage and take action to prevent adverse health effects. It also emphasizes the probability of events and their consequences, which are measurable both qualitatively and quantitatively.

    Health in the Digital World
    (Taylor and Francis, 2020-01-11) Marolla, Cesar
    Health Information Technology (HIT) and Digital Health are rapidly transforming healthcare systems spurred by technology innovation, government initiatives, and growing challenges of the 21st century in improving quality, efficiency, and patient experiences. Furthermore, the transformation of the healthcare system through new technological developments is moving into processes, practices and relationships across the ecosystem and is creating new opportunities for the sector and presents the potential to develop new strategies to cope with health risks.

    Operational Energy Strategy: Turning the U.S. Military into the most Energy-Efficient Fighting Forces in the World
    (2012-05-04) Marolla, Cesar
    The purpose of this paper is to identify, develop, improve, and implement a series of options in operational energy strategy for the Department of Defense utilizing renewable energy sources and turning the U.S. Military into the most Energy-Efficient Fighting Forces in the World (Coren). Energy is an important source of America’s progress, prosperity and development but also it is the basis of instability, crisis, inequality and prominently, environmental deterioration and risk. All those factors are highly accentuated in our military operations where every combatant command has a significant energy related mission. Today war fighting is about 16 times more energy-intensive then the Vietnam War era. Furthermore, oil intensity per war fighter rose 2.6 percent annually for the past 40 years and is anticipated to increase another 1.5 percent annually through 2017 due to greater mechanization, remote expeditionary conflict, rugged terrain, and irregular operations (Lovins). Energy became a vital fighting source that it is closely related to the troops’ survival and success in the battlefield. The paper concludes by arguing that it is fundamental to emphasis the issues presented and because of the energy crisis we are experiencing today there has never been a better time to pursue and consequently execute a concrete energy course of action applied to our military forces that can minimize our troops’ risks and strengthen our national security and global interests.
