Abstract

This chapter defines the company’s immune system and describes its composition and the dynamics that allow it to be strengthened over time. The immune system consists of the defenses with which the company mitigates the effects of hostile and/or harmful events. The immune system does not exclude the possibility of the event but mitigates its impact on the company’s economic, equity, and financial situation. For these reasons, the immune system is important in reducing corporate vulnerability and supporting the company’s survival in full compliance with the going concern principle. The immune system is a dynamic system that varies over time, strengthening or weakening. Noteworthy are the company policies that, over the years, can favor the strengthening or weakening of the immune defenses. This chapter describes the dynamics that favor strengthening the corporate immune system.
