Abstract :

The digital economy of the day and age is characterized by the fact that more and more organizations rely on complex technological systems as a means of running operations, data and strategic decision-making. Although technological innovation opens efficiency and competitiveness possibilities, it also adds to the list of emerging types of threats to information systems, including cybersecurity threats, system malfunction, data privacy violations, and algorithmic bias. The common technological risk management paradigms tend to have technical controls and compliance mechanisms but tend to ignore the humanity and organizational aspects that determine the result of the risks. As a result, there is an increasing demand to find interdisciplinary solutions to the problem by incorporating the expertise of technological risk management, behavioral science, and corporate governance to develop more robust organizational systems. This is a cross-disciplinary research article that has provided an assessment of technological risk management practices in relation to behavioral factors and the governance structures in contemporary organizations.
