Since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, big data analytics (BDA) remains a signatory medium in the battle against it. Governments and policymakers alike are yet to leverage on this scalable technology in an attempt to curb the economic effects of Covid-19. The primary objective of this study is to leverage on BDA to identify economic shocks, and propose a strategic solution for economic recovery in ASEAN member states (AMS). The findings of this study suggest that BDA techniques, frameworks, and architectures are effective tools in predicting and tracking economic shocks, as well as in designing and implementing an effective economic recovery plan. This study proposes a guideline to governments and policymakers scrambling for resources and considering different options to start an economic recovery process. Our findings draw a roadmap for complex AMS economies struggling to explore options for economic recovery in the response of Covid-19. This study has extended and confirmed the knowledge and perception about harnessing BDA as a tool as well as proposed a scientific approach to design economic policies. The findings outlined in this study contribute to the pipeline of BDA's theoretical frameworks which is expected to strengthen its novelty in data science.

Masalah pengangguran dalam kalangan para graduan institusi pengajian tinggi telah menjadi satu fenomena global yang merunsingkan para pemimpin dunia termasuklah di Negara Brunei Darussalam. Justeru, Kebawah Duli Yang Maha Mulia Paduka Seri Baginda Sultan dan Yang Di- Pertuan Negara Brunei Darussalam dalam titah Baginda di Majlis Hafl al-Takharruj UNISSA ke-5 secara jelas menekankan mengenai keperluan bagi mempersiapkan para pelajar UNISSA agar mereka mempunyai kebolehpasaran sehingga mampu bersaing dalam dunia pekerjaan yang kompetitif. Oleh itu, kajian ini dilaksanakan untuk meninjau kebolehpasaran para graduan UNISSA dengan mengambilkira persepsi para majikan tempat mereka bekerja sama ada di sektor awam atau swasta. Kajian ini menumpukan kepada responden yang terdiri daripada lulusan tahun 2011 – 2018; iaitu graduan pertama dilahirkan sehinggalah penyelidikan ini dilaksanakan. Bagi mencapai objektif kajian, metodologi yang digunapakai ialah analisis dokumen dan soal selidik. Dapatan kajian mendapati bahawa majikan sangat berpuas hati dengan etika/sahsiah lulusan UNISSA. Walau bagaimanapun kajian juga menemukan jurang yang perlu diberi perhatian oleh UNISSA bagi meningkatkan kapasiti pelajar yang akan melonjakkan kebolehpasaran lulusannya. Adapun jurang yang sangat ketara itu ialah kompetensi dalam kepimpinan serta kemahiran dalam pengurusan dan interpersonal. Lantas bagi mengecilkan jurang ini, UNISSA perlu meneliti dan menilai semula program dan kurikulum akademik dan non- akademik bagi memastikan kesesuaiannya dengan keperluan industri dan kehendak semasa.
