      From Corporate Security to Commercial Force: A Business Leader’s Guide to Security Economics addresses important issues, such as understanding security related costs, the financial advantages of security, running an efficient security organization, and measuring the impact of incidents and losses. The book guides readers in identifying, understanding, quantifying, and measuring the direct and economic benefits of security for a business, its processes, products, and consequently, profits. It quantifies the security function and explains the never-before analyzed tangible advantages of security for core business processes. Topics go far beyond simply proving that security is an expense for a company by providing business leaders and sales and marketing professionals with actual tools that can be used for advertising products, improving core services, generating sales, and increasing profits.

The book first underscores competition and cooperation and the ways to organize a business system.

The monograph then examines over-subcontracting, strategic network, and essence of a strategic network. Topics include generating trust, how to reduce transaction costs, competition and cooperation, subcontracting in the automobile industry, advantages of shops, manufacturing and selling activities, and network organization. The publication explores international considerations, including cost of the activities and costs of coordination in international business, vertical integration and subcontracting across borders, and coordinating efficiently across borders. The book is a valuable source of information for researchers interested in the establishment of borderless organizations.
