    Those sentiments derive from a survey of 537 senior executives conducted in November and December by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) and sponsored by FTI Consulting. The survey assessed the sources of corporate risk in 2016 and its evolution over the next three years.

    The executives, all of whom were involved in the crisis management function of their firms, hailed from 15 industries and represented firms around the world. ……
