8-9 November 2017
Belfast, UK

Key dates:

• Abstract submissions window 6-31 March 2017

The Case Centre is exhibiting at this conference. Come and find out what we can do for you.

‘Borders, Prosperity and Entrepreneurial Responses’ is the conference theme. Since 1977, the year ISBE was launched, there have been numerous changes in the world, with borders, physical and intangible, easing and even falling completely. ‘Borders’ remain in people’s minds, for minority groups, for women and for those from poorer backgrounds, to mention a few. How might small to medium-sized businesses continue to thrive if access to opportunities is being continually constrained because of ‘bordered’ thinking? Change in response to such thinking requires a strong entrepreneurial response in how we do business, now and in the future.
