The effectiveness and efficiency of activities of the Council could also be improved by increasing interaction with specialized agencies, including the provision of regular reports to the Assembly, through the Council, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Charter.

USE OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES TO MAKE TRANSIT ARRANGEMENTS MORE EFFECTIVE

Increased spectrum efficiency was achieved by using digital transmissions with sophisticated coding techniques.

True progress in the world could be achieved only by reducing poverty, a goal that could be achieved only by improving trade and business efficiency and through North South and South South cooperation.

Efficiencies and cost effectiveness will be realised through rationalization of corporate structures, sound financial management, optimization of technology, and improvements in business processes systems.

In this connection, the Committee has noted the absence of a long term coordinated strategy to achieve greater efficiency and effectiveness in United Nations operations through technological innovation.

8. Small and medium sized enterprises must enhance their efficiency through better business accounting, production management and marketing techniques.

The objective of the report is to identify opportunities for increasing procurement efficiency and effectiveness in the United Nations system, especially through productivity enhancement, improved cooperation and coordination and technological innovations.

Conversely, X inefficiency reflects the excess of actual over minimum possible costs of a firm at a given level of output. savings and allocative efficiency , i.e. the allocation of products through the price system in the optimum manner required to satisfy consumer demand (which will occur where the output of each product is at the level where the marginal cost of producing extra units equals their price).

The meeting had identified ways in which ICT could boost economic growth in developing countries through improvements in innovation and product development processes, efficiency and productivity gains in enterprises, and expanded market reach.

For a number of years the Subcommittee had maintained the required efficiency in that area by adopting various appropriate measures.

There is no doubt, however, that much remains to be done to achieve not only greater efficiency, but greater effectiveness.

Maximum use must be made of the Organization s potential in that field through more rational use of resources and greater efficiency.
