In our class on Thursday, on 5 December you are going to hold a business meeting that you should all be involved in. I won't be actively involved in it but will be monitoring and evaluating. 

For the meeting you need a clear purpose, i.e. the goal(s) that you want to achieve; an agenda - the points to be discussed with the allocations of time. All of you need to make a contribution, so it would be wise to appoint roles. Naturally you need a chairperson who is going to run the meeting.

You can use this Forum to discuss the meeting and prepare for it. 

The duration of the meeting - approximately 45 minutes. This will leave us time also the reflect on how it went and give feedback.

Hello everyone, I want to share with you a brief agenda of our today's business meeting, so you can a bit prepare for it (especially for those who was absent yesterday during our discussion).

Topic: Christmas Marketing Campaign Discussion
Campaign Theme: “The Magic of Christmas Under One Roof”
Purpose: To develop department-specific ideas and strategies for the Christmas marketing campaign that align with the overall goals of the shopping centre.
Key Deliverables for the Meeting: 1) At least two specific ideas for the campaign. 2) A rough outline of how your department will allocate its budget. 3) Suggestions for collaboration with other departments.

4 groups-departments: cosmetics, toys, clothes, home. Each marketing department will be from one of these themes.

Time: 35-40min. As we have today 4 exam presentation in the class, and we need to reflect on our business meeting after, the most reasonable time for the meeting is 35-40min. We will have after the meeting approx. 10-15min to reflect.
Agenda: 1) Introduction (2-3min). 2) Discussion by departments (approx. 15min). 3) Campaign plan (6-8min). 4) Timeline and budget allocation (6-8min). 5) Conclusion (2-3min).
