Shifting Politics, Technologies, and Economies Shape the Top 10 Business Risks in 2014

1. Employee rights, employer wrongs: The employer-employee legal landscape is always shifting. This year, employers need to rethink termination clauses in employee contracts.
2. Entrepreneurs, access to capital and the crowd
3. Activist shareholders: Who's running this company? Activist shareholders will continue to stake and advance their claims for enhanced shareholder governance rights in 2014.
4. The intersection of energy policy and social licensing: The twin issues of energy policy and social license will be centre stage in this year's changing political and geographic landscape.
5. Canada is open for business, unless it's not: Canada's abundance of natural resources and its financial and political stability make it an ideal country in which to invest
6. Growing Value of Intellectual Property: Canada has enormous natural resources that are much in demand on global markets
7. Before you hit the "send" button: Canada's new anti-spam legislation is coming into force in 2014 giving consumers a legal basis to complain about the emails they recieve
8. Data security in the electronic era: If you've got data in 2014, you're at risk
9. Social media: Can't live with it, can't live without it
10. Governance and Who's Watching the Watchers: Boards have never been under more scrutiny and in 2014 this will only continue
