Summary

The economic and political uncertainty which has characterized the Arab region in the wake of the 2011 transitions and upheaval continues to restrain the region’s prospects for growth, job creation and stability. Economic expansion remains stalled, with persistently low global oil prices adding a further burden to the regional economy and constraining the growth and fiscal balances of those countries that had been top-performers due to energy exports. While some progress on social indicators such as gender representativeness can be noted, countries in and affected by political transition and conflict have regressed on a plethora of socioeconomic indicators. These trends can be noted for the past five years, and with this in mind, the 2015-16 Survey will utilize recent data in order to take stock of the impact of instability and conflict, and address the foregone growth and output and destructive effects of this period. It also draws on recent research of ESCWA regarding migration, social developments, the impact of conflict, women’s empowerment, and specific country-level analysis.

    Successful team building that exists in any workplace is involved with more than simply the creation of a successful team that has been given, instead of creating or building an entire ideal team from the beginning. There are particular core principles that are linked to effective team building that can help any organization or work situation get the best outputs out of any team that has to be managed. 
    By adopting the effective methods of team building, one can learn the processes of applying these principles towards: 
    A project-based team wherein even though the members are not expert in each of the given technical areas of the project, the members are still believed towards coordinating in the efforts of the team. 
    A proper support team wherein there exist problems with proper motivation as well as high level of staff turnover. 
    High-standard strategic team wherein the team members do not have the right to impose any direct forms of authority over other members in the team.

No matter if you are trying to get people inside of your company to provide you with the resources or funding that your product needs in order to get out the door or if its customers that you are after, you've got to be able to paint a picture of your product that makes people want it.

    PRODUCT MANAGERS & THE SECRET OF THE COLOR WHEEL
    
    
     
    Product managers are not perfect and when it comes to marketing our product we do make mistakes. However, the key is to learn from both our mistakes and the mistakes that other product managers have made in order to ensure that we won't be repeating them. Not making mistakes is even more important now that the Web 2.0 has arrived. Everything that we do in terms of marketing our product can now be instantly seen by the rest of the world. 
    
     
    When we meet with customers, we present out product in the best light possible. More often than not we use either PowerPoint or Keynote slides to do this. However, have any of us ever gotten any training on how to make really good slides? If not, then we should seek it out in order to help our products. How our products look on those slides is key to getting a customer to want the product. This means that we need a basic understanding of the color wheel and how different colors either work together – or don't! 
    
     
    When economic times get tough, inside of your company they are going to be looking for people who can help the company out. This is the time for a product manager to step up and show the company how his or her product can positively impact the company's bottom line. One way to go about making this happen is to create a website for your product that actually works and is not just another online advertising brochure.
