Examples of Projects
Askew International Research (AIR)’s key area of expertise lies in detailed research and analysis for our clients across a broad range of sectors and geographical locations. With extensive research experience, we are able to utilise the most appropriate knowledge sources, online databases, libraries, expert journals in the original language. This information is then taken to a further level of accuracy by extensive expert interviews with government officials, companies, NGOs, industry experts, journalists, academics etc. We do not just outline the information, our value to our clients lies in our ability to talk to the people behind the policies or strategies – not just what is happening, but why is it happening and what can our clients learn from that, e.g.:
- on government policies: what decision-making process lead to the policy; what issues were debated; what problems have occurred now the policy is running etc
- companies affected by government policies: did the companies lobby against the policy; what are their strategies under the policy; what are future plans
- company activities: what are rival companies’ strategies; market data; what are market opportunities etc
