The document reviews experiences from the US, China, Brazil, Korea and other countries to identify best practices, but notes that practices must be adapted to local conditions. Success depends on five interlinked factors: public policy, private partnerships, knowledge affiliations, professional networking, and community involvement.

This document discusses how companies can pursue growth after a recession by investing in human capital through strategic hiring. It notes that while efficiency gains were made during the recession through automation and offshoring, sustained growth ultimately requires investment in people. Top talent may not be found through traditional recruiting channels, as the best candidates are often passive and engaged at their current jobs. Working with an industry recruiter can help identify qualified passive candidates and develop an effective search strategy to recruit them for new roles and fuel future growth.
The document summarizes the fractured and uneven nature of the US economic recovery based on differing trends across industries and regions. It notes that while overall GDP growth was positive, the recovery has seen both positive and negative trends across different markets and companies. Some areas and industries are seeing their best year ever while others are struggling. This fractured recovery makes it difficult to characterize the economy with broad statements and requires flexibility for companies to shift resources to localized opportunities. The recovery has also led to growth in small and medium companies able to nimbly take advantage of trends, while contract workers are helping larger firms regain flexibility.
Best practices in business incubation_Rustam_Lalkaka 2002Vasily Ryzhonkov
Business incubators, evolving from experiences with business centers and other support
services, have grown rapidly in number from a 200 a decade ago to over 3,000 world-wide today. Incubator programs in the developing and restructuring countries are
typically focused on technology ventures. But the interests of civil society call for the
government, private sector and universities in all nations to address the wider concerns
of empowering disadvantaged groups through employment and facilitated access to
capital (human, knowledge, social and financial).
While incubators have grown in numbers, the uneven performance and poor
sustainability in many situations have become serious issues with the governments and
sponsors who continue to subsidize many of them. There has been much recent interest in
identifying ‘best practices’ that could then be used elsewhere. But these practices are
location-, culture- and time-specific, and can only be adapted to the conditions prevailing
in local situations. This paper reviews the operating experiences in the USA, (which has
about 1,000 incubators of the world total), in China, Brazil and Korea (the largest
programs in the developing world), and other selected countries. The emerging lessons
(yet to be learned) on enhancing performance based on ’good’ international practices
together with some urgent research issues are outlined. Success in the Olympiad of
venture creation and employment generation depends essentially on five inter-linked
rings: Public policy, private partnerships, knowledge affiliations, professional
networking and community involvement.

The recovery in the US job market is becoming more broad-based. In April, job growth slowed for those with 4-year degrees while jobs increased for positions requiring less education such as food services and amusement parks.

While 244,000 new jobs were added in April, unemployment also rose as more people who had stopped looking started searching again, which is a common trend during economic recoveries.

KEYNOTE ADDRESS: A Vision for Transparent and Open Government
Obama’s vision of creating a new level of transparency, accountability and participation for American
citizens begins today. No longer will government be viewed as being secretive and closed off to the public.
But in order to transfer the mindset of all Americans to look at the federal government as being open and
transparent, a vision must be clearly laid out and defined. This is a main objective of the administration
and this keynote address will present an outline of what needs to be done in order to begin moving
forward and make this vision a reality.

LEADERSHIP PANEL: Citizen Transparency in the 21st Century
The Obama Administration understands the immense transformative power of technology and innovation.
Innovation offers tools that can create real change in government and revolutionize the way we view
transparency. Improving civilian transparency is a main objective of the administration because greater
access to government information benefits the country by sustaining an informed citizenry, aiding
government decision makers and supporting the economy. This leadership panel will discuss a variety of
ways you can improve citizen transparency in your agency today and set a precedent for transparency in
the 21st century.

outdated acquisition model does not allow for implementation of technology at the speed of innovation.
