Introduction to leadership and activites for the INNOVATE Conference.
Introduction to leadership
Leadership is an ambiguous term; it is defined
differently depending on cultural beliefs, organizational culture,generations and personal beliefs. To become an effective and
efficient leader, it is important to take all of this intoconsideration. To help understand leadership styles, you can put
leaders on a continuum and look at their strengths and weaknesses.The best example of this would be George W. Bush and the Dalai
Lama. Both leaders are thought to be extremely effective andefficient by many people in their country and from around the world
(note this is just a comparison of different leadership styles) andto analyze their different leadership techniques and styles is
fascinating. What kind of leader do you want to be?
It is important during your INNOVATE
experience to think about the list of leadership skills/attributesand to fill out your personal
Leadership Worksheet . This is a work
in progress and something we hope you continue to modify throughoutyour career and life to develop yourself into a global technical
leader.
To begin the Leadership Module, please take
time to write in your journal now about leadership. How do youdefine a leader? What leaders do you admire and why? How do you
think leadership styles compare and contrast in Singapore andJapan?
Enjoy this module!

In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

Extuples Suppose that the short-run production function of certain cut-flower firm is given by: Q=4KL-0.6K2 - 0.112 •
Where is quantity of cut flower produced, I is labour input and K is fixed capital input (K-5). Determine the average product of labour (APL) and marginal product of labour (MPL)
Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

What do you think is more important to focus on when considering inequality ?
sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏
Asui
it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs
Awais
thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
