This teaching case study book presents a timely and empirically grounded investigation of Sri Lanka’s evolving economic landscape, highlighting its significance as a central resource for teaching and learning. By integrating contributions from university academics and industry experts, the book reconciles theory and practice, enabling readers to critically examine real-world economic policies, technological adoption, and strategic decision-making in an emerging economy. It covers key areas such as Sri Lanka’s new economic model and investment initiatives, government policies and economic recovery strategies, digital entrepreneurial ecosystems, trade evolution, and technology-led corporate innovation across sectors, including energy, finance, apparel, logistics, construction, and software. Accompanied by structured teaching notes, the book provides pedagogical rigour and supports meaningful classroom engagement and critical analysis. The intended audience primarily comprises undergraduate and postgraduate students in management, economics, public policy, business, and development studies, as well as academics, researchers, policy professionals, and industry experts seeking practical insights into economic transformation in Sri Lanka and comparable emerging markets.
