Abstract: Abstract A Global Business Economist should look at the world as it is, not as it ought to be. We need to be mind-readers, anticipating questions to come and pre-emptively searching for answers. Global interactions are making economic analysis increasingly complex. We must incorporate these linkages into the analysis, enriching the models and the story with global flavour and supplementing both with on-the-field expert assessment. Our most valuable asset is our independence and credibility, so we must tell it just how it is. Finally, communication is key. It is paramount to make the story and our deliberations easy to understand, regardless of the complexity of the analysis.
