A Troubling Study on U.S. Socioeconomic Health Status
International Institute of Management (IIM) released a study containing disturbing new information about the U.S. economic health status and risks. IIM issued a white paper describing available U.S. policy options and their long-term impact.
We were surprised to learn that the U.S. economy is in much more trouble than anticipated. When combining all the numbers from different national and international research agencies, we see a different picture than the one advertised, the country seems to be headed to a major crisis said Med Yones, President of IIM. The good news is that the U.S. government can avoid the disaster, the bad news is that some of the necessary measures are going to be painful, controversial and difficult to implement. The next decade is the most critical for U.S. economic health. In order to mitigate the risks, the U.S. government must make major changes to socioeconomic and foreign policies
The study provides: 1). A neutral assessment of the U.S. economic health, 2). Analysis of the long-term consequences of current policy decisions 3). The emerging economic, social and geopolitical threats to the U.S. financial prosperity 4). Risk mitigation strategies 5). Management best practices
IIM also announced that it has written to the U.S. government and congress, asking them to pay special attention to the emerging threats and recommending major policy changes to avoid future socioeconomic threats.
