HRM Economic Summit 2004

Each of the six Summit committees was assigned a specific list of research papers, studies and reports to read in preparation for their meetings and the fomulation of their committee recommendations.

The list of reading materials, and the committee to whom they are assigned, is listed below. Where possible, the material has been made available electronically. Availability will be indicated when the name of the report is highlighted in blue.

Please note: Many of the pieces are very long, so downloading may take a few moments.
