Problem: Article: Who is the likely clientele for your motel? A business traveler is going to have different needs than a family on vacation. For instance, business travelers might expect coffee machines in their room, while families might appreciated motel rooms that can be connected with a side door. Before you can design a motel room, you need to evaluate the needs of the guests that you expect to stay in your motel. In addition, watch the competition to pick up on trends and new ideas in the motel room design world. How much will you spend per room? The size of the room generally doesn't matter when deciding how to design the room. You can spend a lot or a little on a motel room of a given size. Once you know your budget, you'll be able to plan the room to your liking. Building and safety codes determine things like how many fire alarms, exits, fire extinguishers, windows, and so on a room needs. They are usually issued by a state authority such as the department of public health, and may be amended by local authorities with additional provisions. Stay conscious of required elements when designing your motel room. If you are designing a motel room for a larger chain, you can probably request funds for a prototype of a new room design. Hire "guests" to try the room out and solicit feedback about their experience to find out what worked and what didn't. Have room testers fill out a questionnaire inquiring about every aspect of the room: lighting, comfort, spaciousness, flooring, cover the wall, bathroom, and so on. If you are the proprietor of a smaller motel, you can do similar test runs by designing (or redesigning) only a single hotel room of a given style and renting it out to guests. Administer a questionnaire about their experiences and, if possible, talk to them about their experience in the room to figure out how you can improve the room's design.
Summary: Examine your market. Determine your budget. Check your local building and safety codes. Design a mock-up of the motel room.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The GDP of a country is the measure of goods and services produced within a specific time period. You'll need that number to calculate productivity based on GDP. You usually won't have to calculate the number yourself (that would be very difficult). Instead, you can find the number already calculated for you. You should be able to find the GDP of most countries online. Start by Googling the country's name plus "GDP". You can also find the GDP of many countries at the World Bank website. Make sure you find the right GDP for the time period that you're measuring (e.g., for a quarter or a year). Keep in mind that the GDP number for the target country, even if it's released for a quarter, might be given as an annualized number. In that case, divide the annualized number by four to get the quarterly number. Basically, you're calculating the number of so-called "man-hours" worked to produce products and services. For any country, find the number of people in the workforce for the given period and multiply it by the average number of hours worked. For example, if the average number of hours worked is 40 and there are 100 million people in the country, then the total productive hours is 40 x 100,000,000 or 4,000,000,000. In the United States, you can find the key statistics on the website of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). Labor productivity for other countries can be found by searching online for relevant economic research. Just divide the GDP by the total productive hours. The result will give you the productivity for that country. For example, if the country's GDP is $100 billion and the productive hours are 4 billion, then the productivity is $100 billion / 4 billion or $25 of output per hour worked.

SUMMARY: Determine the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Calculate the number of total productive hours for a country. Calculate productivity.
