Desktop research about meetings

hi,

I'm an author researching a book about (business) meetings.

What I'm looking for is someone to do 2-3 hours of web-based research around the following topics:
- statistics about how much time people spend in meetings (per day, per week, per year, etc)
- methodologies to calculate the 'true cost' of meetings
- stats about how this affects productivity
- best practices and types of business meetings that work well
- specific examples of how the world's top leaders and companies run their meetings (e.g. Jeff Bezos gives every 20 mins in silence to read the briefing before they all start talking)
- quotes from key business influencers about meetings and how to make them more productive.

IMPORTANT - stats must be from reputable sources (either academic reports, or business publications like harvard business review, etc).

I need this project turned around within a week at the latest. I may end up commissioning more than one person, depending on price. Please reply to this project with the word 'peaches' at the top, so that I know you're not one of the annoying people who just cuts and pastes replies to these things).

Side note - I might also have some more general VA work (booking travel, further research etc) as well, so please let me know if that's of interest to you too. It's not a deal-breaker if that's not you!

thanks!
