Project Forecasting and Risk Analysis

Dear Colleagues,

Digitalization has brought many changes to our lives, putting all economic actors on a new footing. The rapidly changing financial system in the 21st century has brought new challenges to all segments of the economy. The financial sector is no exception. In a competitive environment dictated by FinTech companies, it is important that the traditional banking system can hold its own, which is only possible if it can keep pace with the innovation potential dictated by new financial players. Each of these innovations must be understood and managed as a project in order to succeed. As with all innovative initiatives and projects, this process is fraught with challenges and risks. For these initiatives to be successful, it is necessary to go beyond a project approach to effectively identify risks; however, this approach must be adopted not only by banks, financial operators, and companies, but also by users. The issues inherent in the use of innovative products require a conscious attitude, as does the attitude to risk. The aim of this Special Issue is to take a broad look at these issues and examine them in order to gain a better understanding of the subject, with particular reference to the risks and the responses to them in order to face future challenges.
