Global and domestic corporate sector have been passing through a roller coaster in terms of the new-age technology-led disruptions over the past decade. Business transformation and adoption post-financial crisis of 2008 led to both opportunities and threats. There have been positives of quick recovery due to support from the governments in terms of expansionary monetary policies and low interest rates, while the imbalance in terms of fiscal and trade deficits, increased job losses, widening of inequalities led to domestic and international geopolitical tensions with terrorism, anti-democratic, anti-capitalist movements and increased uncertainty.
New economic thinking is the need of the hour. Role of government, pricing, distribution of resources, skewed sector growth, environmental impacts of excessive focus on economic growth, undue expansion of central banks’ balance sheets, excessive debt burden of low income countries and the unrest in Europe, UK and US calls for revisiting of the Economic Theories. Starting from consumer behavior, production process, use of factors of production, pricing, market structures, competition, macroeconomic policies, regulations have to be over hauled in tune with the rapid technological changes.
As far as Economic Research and Analytics is concerned, more insightful, application-oriented, impactful research to the local problems extremely essential. New theories and Axioms are to be developed and empirically tested. Industry-academia interface is must for the two-way deliberations and impactful research where benefits of research helps society at large.
It is the age of information proliferation. Identifying and filtering the colossal information and making into insightful research requires both methodological, scientific and structured approach. We propose to disseminate the simple tools that help decision makers on who to read, analyze, infer from the existing vast amount of data available to be used for strategy formulation and implementation.

We put forth the argument that a sound self-assessed internal risk management is essential for the top management in their decision making in addition to the regulatory compliance-related rating services that are taken from the outsourced firms. Given the vast expertise of internal talent in the firm/corporate/business they will be in a better position to identify risks for their business and mature to such a level that they handle themselves before a rating agency upgrades or downgrades.
