Insights into the Sustainable Growth of Business

The international financial crisis has illustrated the need for research on how to stimulate sustainable growth of business. The warnings about global warming also call for a stronger focus on sustainability. Based on reflections like these ISM University of Management and Economics in cooperation with Baltic Management Development Association and BI Norwegian School of Management organized an international conference on "Insight into the sustainable growth of business" in Vilnius in November 2009. The conference was inter-disciplinarian and the aim was to discuss both external factors and internal organizational factors that might influence the sustainable growth of business. In this e-book we have collected some of the best papers from the conference. The papers are all relevant for the discussion on how to stimulate sustainable growth.
