ABSTRACT

Macroeconomic and social policies have an adverse impact on the overall flexibility in the structure, system, and strategy of a country. Countries face uncertainty, very similar to the companies within it. This may be related to its demographics, resources, trade, currency, and other aspects as well as its interactions with other countries in the world. Policies that reduce flexibility in any of these components may reduce overall value, utility, and quality of life for the citizens of the country.
