Use destructive force to beat your opponent quickly or grind them down over time. Experience power like never before. Select VoLtRiC. Traditionally, extra weight at the top of the racquet frame has increased hitting power but reduced the speed of racquet handling. In contrast, a lighter top to the frame increases speed but causes a loss of hitting power. For the first time, the TRI-VOLTAGE SYSTEm successfully combines the contrasting characteristics of exceptional power and great handling. YONEX has developed a racquet which achieves the combination of heavy smashes and speedy racquet handling. V oLtRiC iS powER VoLtRiC iS aGiLitY The stiff racquet structure at the top of the In VOLTRIC, the weight is balanced frame allows the head to bend in a very on the top of the frame and at the joint controlled way and hold shuttles on the area which allows good handling while string bed for longer.

This resistance and improves the handling combination allows you to smash with even further.

  • Trust in Government, Policy Effectiveness and the Governance Agenda
    Government at a Glance 2013 © OECD 2013 Chapter 1 Trust in government, policy effectiveness and the governance agenda The statistical data for Israel are supplied by and under the responsibility of the relevant Israeli authorities. The use of such data by the OECD is without prejudice to the status of the Golan Heights, East Jerusalem and Israeli settlements in the West Bank under the terms of international law. 19 1. TRUST IN GOVERNMENT, POLICY EFFECTIVENESS AND THE GOVERNANCE AGENDA Introduction The financial and economic crisis that started in 2008 led to a significant loss of trust in government. By 2012, on average only four out of ten people in OECD member countries expressed confidence in their government. As governments search for a path to economic recovery, the challenge they face is not only knowing what policies to choose, but also how to implement those policies. Yet, capacity to implement depends crucially on trust. Without trust in governments, markets and institutions, support for necessary reforms is difficult to mobilise, particularly where short-term sacrifices are involved and long-term gains might be less tangible. The sharp decline in trust in government is serving to underline that trust is an essential, yet often overlooked, ingredient in successful policy making. A decline in trust can lead to lower rates of compliance with rules and regulations. Citizens and businesses can also become more risk-averse, delaying investment, innovation and employment decisions that are essential to regain competitiveness and jumpstart growth. Nurturing trust represents an investment in economic recovery and social well-being for the future.

    DIGITAL GLOBALIZATION: THE NEW ERA OF GLOBAL FLOWS MARCH 2016 HIGHLIGHTS 43 73 85 Broadening participation Boosting productivity Changing the way and GDP companies go global In the 25 years since its founding, the McKinsey Global Institute (MGI) has sought to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. As the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, MGI aims to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. We are proud to be ranked the top private-sector think tank, according to the authoritative 2015 Global Go To Think Tank Index, an annual report issued by the University of Pennsylvania Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program at the Lauder Institute. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed global flows; the economies of Brazil, Mexico, Nigeria, and Japan; China’s digital transformation; India’s path from poverty to empowerment; affordable housing; the effects of global debt; and the economics of tackling obesity. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company directors: Richard Dobbs, James Manyika, and Jonathan Woetzel.
