Abstract
The fast-changing world is in turbulence and is generating an inhospitable environment for ad hoc and informal ways of creating and selling products.

In this scenario, one has to find certainty out of uncertainty, linearity out of nonlinearity, order from disorder, and harmony from chaos for sailing through the business turbulent water. It should be our endeavor to find stability out of instability.
