Warmest autumn greetings from Riga, Latvia and Riga International School
of Economics and Business Administration (RISEBA)!

RISEBA welcomes you to

'Sustainable Business Develpoment Under Scenarios of Economic Slowdown'
Conference

February 7-9 2008
Riga, Latvia
Call for Papers and Invited Conference
Deadline for abstracts: 1 Nov 2007
Deadline for papers: 20 Jan  2008

Growing environmental, social and economic concerns, coupled with public
pressure and stricter regulations, are changing the way people do
business across the world. Consumers demand that goods and services be
produced by socially and environmentally responsible companies. Bankers
and investors evaluate companies and make decisions, considering both
environmental risks and environmental market opportunities. Businesses
adopt a more proactive approach - recognizing that the implementation of
sustainable business strategies can lead to new opportunities and
improved results. But compliance and implementation often creates
unexpected costs and barriers that threaten profitability.

Top experts from Europe, US and Asia will discuss current trends in
global economy. The panelists will address implications of global trends
for sustainable business development. You are welcome to learn from the
experience of good practices, listen to key-note speakers and business
leaders as they share their business knowledge and expertise in the
following key areas:

*         Enterprise management in the case of increasing competition
*         Global and regional market opportunities
*         The role of national and supra-national institutions for
sustainable development

To unravel these broad issues the conference welcomes contributions also
in the topics related, but not limited, to:

*      Business strategies for sustainable development
*      Social dimension of sustainable development
*      The power of innovation for growth and competitiveness
