Fear Commerce: Inflationary Effects of Global Security Initiatives

ABSTRACT In the execution of their stewardship, governments and organizations gather information to identify people of interest and ensure that only authorized persons have access to only those locations and resources to which they are authorized. Historically, in most democratic societies, there have been relatively few restrictions placed on access to resources (Benería & Bisnath, 2004). More recently, there has been a migration towards broader information gathering by governmental and civil authorities beyond the identification of persons, and a greater emphasis placed on controls that restrict access, along with increasing regulation and legislation for processes, procedures, and requirements for permits (D'Urso, 2006). In this manuscript, we synthesize a theory that links governmental with commercial initiatives to draw some implications for managers to consider relative to the organizational impacts.
