      <title>Iran&#8217;s Economy:&amp;nbsp; The Next 11</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Mona&#8217;s question on prosperity &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.planiran.com/index.php?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.planiran.com%2Findex.php%2Fforums%2Fviewthread%2F79%2F&quot;&gt;(see forum post 79)&lt;/a&gt; got me looking at the Mercer website again.&amp;nbsp; A search of &#8220;Iran&#8221; on the Mercer site returned&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.planiran.com/index.php?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mercer.com%2Fsummary.htm%3FsiteLanguage%3D100%26idContent%3D1309530&quot;&gt; this interesting post&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; Apparently, Iran is one of the &#8220;Next 11&#8221; emerging markets of the globe.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Understand the HR practices in the &#8220;Next 11&#8221; emerging markets&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Improved reforms and growth conditions have increased the economic health and improved trade in &#8220;Next 11&#8221; countries (Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, &lt;b&gt;Iran&lt;/b&gt;, Mexico, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, South Korea, Turkey and Vietnam ), which are emerging to form the next set of large economies after the BRIC nations (Brazil, Russia, India and China).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Next 11 emerging markets are significant because of their considerable size and their continued economic progress over the last few years. Understanding the key predictors of growth for these markets and how they compare in the global labour market is essential for companies that already employ workers there – or plan to in the near future.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Mercer&#8217;s new report, The HR Environment in the Next 11 Emerging Markets, offers extensive information on these 11 high&#45;growth economies, including policies and practices, compensation analyses, benefit summaries and expatriate management issues&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, their report is $1040.&amp;nbsp; Yikes!&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I hadn&#8217;t heard of the &#8220;Next 11&#8221; before.&amp;nbsp; Here&#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.planiran.com/index.php?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FNext_Eleven&quot;&gt;more information from Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;.

      <title>California General Plan Guidelines</title>
      <link>http://www.planiran.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/54/</link>
      <guid>http://www.planiran.com/index.php/forums/viewthread/54/#When:20:54:21Z</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.planiran.com/index.php?URL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.opr.ca.gov%2Fplanning%2Fpublications%2FGeneral_Plan_Guidelines_2003.pdf&quot;&gt;download a copy of the general plan guidelines &lt;/a&gt;(note, pdf file).&amp;nbsp; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As you can see from regular references to planning laws in America, a motivating factor in these guidelines is the force of law.&amp;nbsp; Beyond that, however, there is a clear desire to provide practical planning guidance with many opportunities for optional initiatives.
