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.

Global Financial Crisis- What actions should your nation take to bring back that investor confidence?
Posted by: Dr. Jayshree Pandya in Country Risk Review, Industry Risk Review on February 1st, 2009
United States probably had the best capital markets in the world. These capital markets coupled with innovation drive stimulated not only competition and great innovations but enabled economic viability and the fundamental vitality of this great nation.
The confidence, quality, breadth and depth of the United States markets attracted global investors and investment capital for many years. However United States markets’ fundamentals, its operating integrity, regulation, and confidence has been seriously questioned with the current global financial crisis and has shaken investor confidence.
This would undoubtedly create challenges for not only USA but many nations in attracting investments. The globalizing economies and the realities of today’s markets demand some fundamental changes in how nations, its governments, its industries and markets should function and operate.
What changes do you believe are critical for your nation? What critical barriers do you see that need to be overcome? What should your nation do to attract not only global investment but stay competitive in the global economy? What actions should your nation take to bring back that investor confidence?

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?

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?
Let me know your thoughts. Please specify which Nation you are addressing.

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.
