Every business meeting certainly has a purpose, so the opening and closing of the meeting is part of a procedure. At the opening of the meeting there will often be a general description of the topics to be discussed, while the closing of the meeting is a summary or conclusion of various opinions but is not detailed enough and cannot be understood if the participants do not attend the meeting as a whole.
It depends on the meeting, but generally it is more important to open a meeting in business. The way in which a meeting is opened sets the tone for the entire discussion, and can help to ensure that the meeting progresses in an efficient and productive manner. A good opening will also help participants to feel engaged and ready to contribute. On the other hand, a closing is important to ensure that all of the points of discussion have been covered and any decisions have been documented.
Both of them are very important. How you open a meeting would definitely determine how the meeting in general would go, how you close it would also determine how workers would react and the effect of all that has been said.
This is quite true. sometimes you may even be meeting some people for the very first time. But before closing you might have got a lot of ideas and it is easier.
