Abstract
Executives in the Caribbean are spending more time planning and attending meetings now than they did five years ago. They will continue to spend a great deal of time in meetings five years from now. Yet, in the spring of 1995, our survey of managers in the Caribbean found that approximately 35 per cent of the time spent in meetings is unproductive.
