...member is encouraged to actively participate and ask questions to gather a better understanding. I will practice my opening statement “Hello, my name is Wade Orr and I am the contracting officer representing the government. I would like to start by saying that fiscal responsibility is the responsibility of all individuals entrusted with committing government funds it is also the responsibility of the industries that do business with the government to be fiscally responsible in their actions towards the government as tax payers”. I will practice this opening statement until it gracefully flows from my mouth. We will also discuss how to order our issues as a tactic to support our strategy. We will rank our issues and place them on our draft agenda that we sent the contractor; their response to the ranking will let us know what is important to them. During this mock rehearsal, we will also prioritize our give-a-ways and must-have’s, the way we introduce them is important to our overall strategy. Team...

...lose control of the group. If the discussion lags, call on those who have not been heard from. Pace the presentation and discussion so you will have time to complete the agenda. As time begins to run out, interrupt the discussion and summarize what has been accomplished. Another leadership task is either to arrange for someone to record the proceedings or to ask a participant to take notes during the meeting. As the leader, you are also expected to follow the agenda; participants have prepared for the meeting on the basis of the announced agenda. However, don't be rigid. Allow enough time for discussion and give people a chance to raise related issues. If you cut off discussion too quickly or limit the subject too narrowly, no real consensus can emerge. As the meeting gets under way, you will discover that some participants are too quiet, others too talkative. To draw out the shy types, ask for their input on issues that particularly pertain to them. You might say something like "Sunil, you've done a lot of work in this area. What do you think?" For the overly talkative, simply say that time is limited and others need to be heard from. The best meetings are those where everyone participates, so don't let one or two people dominate your meeting while others doodle on their notepads. As you move through your agenda, stop at the end of each item, summarize what you understand to be the feelings of the group...

...change - A% c) averages 3,83. It is worth mentioning that the above referenced countries reached 6,01 (157,02% more); and Advanced Economies - not yet recovered since the last financial crisis - reached 1,6 (47,78%). Meanwhile, different measuring models have found that in the world, just the top 20% of the population controls over 70% of the global revenue. These economies have been growing as well. The importance of this investigation is answering the questions: Are they reversing this lack of equality trend? And, Would be relevant to add equity in the development agenda?. This paper offers an analysis of these points and studies them as a strategy for sustainability and continuous growth. Key words: BRICS countries growth; National income distribution; Equity in the development agenda. 1. Introduction BRICS Countries are leading the growth of the economy in the world, and have done so for over 10 years. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) projected that from 2013 to 2017 it will maintain its growth at least 26% above World Growth GDP. Note: GDP, will be the measure utilized in this paper when referring to growing economies. This information comes from the IMF data base and calculations made by the author.

Would you rather get $5 dollars every year for the next 5 years or $10 dollars today? How does one compare streams of future payoffs? Let’s start by comparing two periods. What is the equivalent of $1 tomorrow? If the interest rate is R I could invest $1 and receive $(1+R) tomorrow. Conversely, I can borrow $1 today under the promise of paying back $(1+R) tomorrow. We will determine the value of a future payment by discounting them at the interest rate that could be earned. The interest rate R often is given on a yearly basis.

...Creating a Meeting Agenda Creating a Meeting Agenda The agenda is the key to a successful meeting - it is the roadmap, the guide, the plan. Studies have shown that up to 70% of meetings either have no agenda or have a poor agenda which is not helpful. In this article, you will see that there are some steps which you can take to make sure your agenda will contribute to making your meeting more productive. There are also hidden advantages. If the agenda is well constructed, you will also spend less time in the meeting and more time actually doing the things the meeting determines need to be done! 1. Remember the key - the more detailed the agenda, the more focussed and generally, the shorter the meeting will be. 2. You cannot expect intelligent decisions if people do not have time to think through the issues before the meeting. Therefore, agendas need to be sent out in advance, not given out at the meeting. People who have genuine desire to reach the best decision, and people who are organised, always have their agendas distributed in time for people to give thought to the issues. 3. Adopt the strict policy that if an item is not on the agenda, it will not be discussed at the meeting. Do not allow items to be raised without notice. Allow only true emergency items to be exempt and allow no other exceptions. Organised people have no difficulty with this. It is only disorganised or "slack" people who object to this because they cannot get...
