  The Measure of Progress -...

  The ways that statisticians and governments measure the economy were developed in the 1940s, when the urgent economic problems were entirely different from those of today. In The Measure of Progress, Diane Coyle argues that the framework underpinning today's economic statistics is so outdated that it functions as a distorting lens, or even a set of blinkers. When policymakers rely on such an antiquated conceptual tool, how can they measure, understand, and respond with any precision to what is happening in today's digital economy? 
   
   
   
  The metrics for economic growth were developed when a lack of physical rather than natural capital was the binding constraint on growth, intangible value was less important, and the pressing economic policy challenge was managing demand rather than supply. Today's challenges are different. Growth in living standards in rich economies has slowed, despite remarkable innovation, particularly in digital technologies. As a result, politics is contentious and democracy strained. 
   
   
   
  Coyle argues that to understand the current economy, we need different data collected in a different framework of categories and definitions, and she offers some suggestions about what this would entail. Only with a new approach to measurement will we be able to achieve the right kind of growth for the benefit of all.

  Why Businesses Fail? S01E04

  In some business, size does matter. The biggest companies struggle for growth. Even a single digit drop in growth percentage can result in a large drop in the stock price of listed companies. On the other hand, there are small, boutique firms that are highly specialized, operate within a niche, and have a loyal customer base. Rather than spending large sums on marketing and brand building, they focus on quality and growth by word of mouth. Are they doing something right by staying small and continuing to operate, or are they missing out on the multiple growth opportunities that exist? We ponder this question in this episode.
  
  For a business leader, what should be the main focus, grow bigger, grow profitable, or attain sustainable growth? The answer may vary depending on the sector you operate in. A recent example may offer a clue.
  
  In early 2022, one of the largest industrial conglomerates in India made an announcement that they would invest billions of Rupees (i.e. Hundreds of crores of Rupees) in the FMCG or Fast Moving Consumer Goods space. This prompted CXOs of some of the incumbent companies to announce they would make some acquisitions, enter new geographies, or product statements. The theme that resonated was – even in these current challenging times, they all aspire to grow bigger.
