Economic Equilibrium: 2015-2025
Emerging economies get stronger The emerging economies of Asia and in parts the Middle East and Latin America take advantage of poor economic decision making and subsequent long term recessionary effects on Western developed markets.
Closer economic equilibrium with the ‘West’
Slow western economic recovery Slow recovery in US; UK & PIGS following a short lived double dip recession in 2011. Confidence returns in 2015 following robust economic policy making leading to sustainable economic growth into 2025.
Globalisation in the next decade
Open global society Prosperity embraces most regions into 2015. Trading Blocks e.g. EU; SE Asia exist and become fully integrated into a robust global economy.
Positive globalisation a reality Free flow of goods; labour; technology and finance. Treaties exist to encourage cross-border trade and PPP. Multinationals prosper, flexible and freely flowing labour forces leads to widespread national integration into the global market.

Address Academic Demands
How many hours does it take to prepare for every hour of a course? • 1. For regular, it takes 2 hours out-of-class for each hour of class for preparation and grading. – 9 hours = 3 hours of class time + 6 hours of preparation and grading
• 2. For new preparations, the teacher should double the out-of-class time. – 14 hours : 3 hours of class time + 12 hours of preparation and grading.
