Too big to fail: A global age challenge facing isolation age response
Posted by: Dr. Jayshree Pandya in Country Risk Review, Global Risk Review, Industry Risk Review on April 19th, 2010
Global age has brought nations industries unprecedented opportunities to grow across national boundaries and becoming as some say “too big”-
There is a movement in some nations to prevent these industries from growing and becoming “too big”. While “too big to fail” is understandably creating fear and panic across nations, is this the right approach to prevent industry risks?
While nation’s tax payers should never have to bail out these industries under any circumstances, the question that arises is whether preventing growth and not letting industries become too big, a sensible solution?
It is important that nations understand global age challenges and propose effective global age solutions to global age problems. With an eye on the future I look forward to a meaningful dialogue to address critical global age risks. Let me know your thoughts.
Please specify which nation or industry you are addressing.

Energy Crisis: A case for Energy Diversification!!
Posted by: Dr. Jayshree Pandya in Industry Risk Review on February 1st, 2009
Energy industry is at the center of a global power play and is undoubtedly of a great strategic and political significance. This is an industry that is a backbone of global prosperity and in fact has a potential to change position of countries, regions, and societies.
The onset of the 21st century has brought this unique industry to face a grueling set of challenges and has already become a great source of concern to national and economic security. Inability to overcome energy challenges and stabilize this industry will result in widespread economic disruption and countries and regions at war.
What challenges does this industry face, not only today but also in the coming tomorrow? What is your perception of the current status of the industry and its future outlook amidst the integrating global economies? What risks, issues, challenges, and obstacles do you see? How does this industry impact other industries? What do you think are possible solutions and mitigation plans for the advancement of this critical industry?

Resource Nationalization: A Growing Concern
Posted by: Dr. Jayshree Pandya in Industry Risk Review on February 1st, 2009
The world today is witnessing the tumultuous impact of not only energy insecurity and scarcity, but the beginning of a growing concern of “resource nationalization” in general.
“Resource Nationalization” is a critical risk to global peace and prosperity. It is not just the oil and gas sector facing re-nationalization by major producers; rather, the Coal, Methane, Uranium, metal/mineral sectors and much more are facing re-nationalization as well.
1. Do you think “Natural Resources” should be nationalized?
2. Do you think that re-emergence of state/nation controlled resources pose a serious challenge to global peace and the global economy?
3. Do you think the world is entering an era where businesses and industries have to work closely with its governments to re-strategize the way they function and operate on a global scale?
4. Do you think the world is entering an era where “natural resources” are becoming political tools and weapons (probably more powerful than nukes or other weapons of mass destruction), and States/Nations are using Natural resources to wield power in the global economy?

Fading Nationalism Amidst Internationalism!
Posted by: Dr. Jayshree Pandya in Country Risk Review on February 1st, 2009
Do you think that your nation is struggling with the meaning of nationalism?
Nationalism and Internationalism are, in essence, opposite forces. The world today is witnessing the birth of a new global era that seems to be strongly characterized by a seemingly borderless world and the birth of an integrated global community.
Do you think “Nationalism” is a viable feeling and that citizens feel intensely for their nation? If your answer is no, then what issues you see arising out of these feelings?
Do you think nations; its governments, industries, businesses and communities can survive and prosper amidst these internationalism feelings? Do you see a need for nationalism? Do you think nations and its governments need to address the shaping of Globalization/Internationalism to its benefits if they want to survive and prosper as nations?
Do you think that there is FADING NATIONALISM AMIDST INTERNATIONALISM? Do you think that there is a risk of FADING NATIONS?

Citizens of each nation have the enormous burden to make an objective neutral assessment to assess each candidate for election. It is every citizen’s duty to make an educated decision to hire that candidate whose decisions will determine the prosperity, security and success of their respective nation.
Do you see any objectivity in the election process in your country? Do you think citizens assess the candidates in a neutral objective manner?
What criteria did you use to assess the candidate? Do you think citizens should be given guidelines based on which they can evaluate the candidates and make educated decision?
What risks and issues you see in the current election process and foresee in the coming elections in your country?

The fundamental goal of any nation, its governments and industries is to strive to advance current capabilities and achieve technological, economic, political and military prosperity (we can add judicial systems and more in the list).

Do you think your nation is struggling to understand where it is going from the perspective of industries, growth, and economy? If you had to decide; what would be the top ten strategic goals of your nation amidst internationalization?

Welcome to Risk Group Blog
Posted by: Dr. Jayshree Pandya in Uncategorized on February 1st, 2009
We are happy to announce launch of Risk Group Blog and welcome your participation and thoughts.
With an eye on the future, Risk Group’s mission, goal and objective is to advance professional collaboration and pro-active approach among nation, its industries and global stakeholders. With your help we will address national as well as global challenges and heighten public awareness of the critical risks and issues.
Risk is an inevitable part of every nation and its industries. Progress and value creation cannot be achieved without taking risk by any nation or its industries and businesses. However, failure to think pro-actively, failure to understand risks, failure to learn with an open mind, failure to anticipate and failure to adapt to changing global fundamentals by nations, its governments and industry decision makers has brought us facing monumental crisis with probably far reaching consequences today.
This debate over what went wrong and what any Global Crisis taught the Nations, it’s Governments and Decision Makers (including risk managers), and how should they apply that knowledge to manage risks differently in the future would undoubtedly continue for a long time… However, one thing that does speak loud and clear is that everyone needs to be Risk Managers and be willing to take accountability and ownership of their actions. This will help every nation, and its industries steer through any crisis and future will probably not equal to past and present.
Every nation needs to be on guard in order to ensure that they don’t end up being a failed existence. Every nation and its decision makers must begin the precautionary dialogues on these potential phantom risks around them that raises true concerns, arouse public fears, panic and hysteria not only for their nation but in the global markets to safeguard society from the possibilities of unforeseeable harm in the future.
Time is of the essence. At stake is the well-being and safety of every nation, society and our very existence!! Let us begin a dialogue to build a better tomorrow.
