The document discusses measuring a nation's income and GDP. It defines GDP as the total market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time. GDP equals total household spending on goods and services and can be broken down into consumption, investment, government spending, and net exports. An example for the US in 2009 is provided, with consumption making up 70% of GDP. The concept of value added is also introduced.
Specializations are becoming the new table-stakes in value-based channel programs. Their goal? To help differentiate partner value and drive increased competency. But, are specializations considered a distraction to the partner sales and technical certification requirements? Are they a worthy partner investment in long-term skills development and market position? This exclusive channel research explores the perceived value and ROI of channel specialization programs, from both the vantage point of 400 solution providers and 40 vendors. Get answers to these questions: Which type of specialized partners are vendors looking to develop or attract? What are the specialization program requirements and benefits? What ROI are partners expecting on their specialization investment? How does specialization improve the solution providers’ relationship with their customers and vendors?
The results have poured in from our 6th Annual State of Partnering research. This year’s study was the biggest and most comprehensive yet – with 98 global vendors and 250 solution provider participants.
This year’s study focused on several key partnering topics including enablement, cloud engagement models, field sales coverage and channel spending trends.

In this chapter, look for the answers to these questions:
What is Gross Domestic Product (GDP)?
How is GDP related to a nation’s total income and spending?
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures total income of everyone in the economy.
GDP also measures total expenditure on the economy’s output of g&s.
The Circular-Flow Diagram a simple depiction of the macroeconomy
What are the components of GDP?
How is GDP corrected for inflation?
Does GDP measure society’s well-being?
Discussion based on Mankiw slides as amended by myself. The presentation is meant as the opening introduction to GDP measurement prior to a class discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of GDP as a meaningful measure of public policy efficacy.
