The Future of Sustainable Enterprise

March 27, 2010 A Yale College Business Society Conference

From the Asia Tomorrow Team

Dear Conference Attendee,

Welcome to Asia Tomorrow, Yale’s undergraduate Asia business conference. Today, you and
your peers will have the opportunity to listen to and interact with established leaders of busi-
ness, diplomacy, politics, and academia. Through keynotes, panels, discussions, and over
lunch, you will explore the sustainability of Asia’s expanding role in an increasingly global
economy.

The inaugural Asia Tomorrow conference took place as the global financial crisis was hitting
full force. While the global economy has since begun to recover, many have questioned the sus-
tainability of not only Asia’s relatively quick recovery, but also the greater Asian business model.
Today’s conference will examine this issue from a variety of perspectives.

This issue of the Business Sphere Magazine combines the Yale College Business Society’s flag-
ship conference with its magazine. It serves not only as a guide for the conference but also
as a platform for students investigating issues relevant to the theme of sustainable enterprise.
Through this combined effort, we hope to provide a starting point for discussion and promote a
comprehensive understanding of today’s business dynamics.

Yale University has developed a dynamic relationship with Asia centered on building greater
mutual understanding and preparing its students for leadership and service in an increasingly
interconnected world. Through your interactions with today’s speakers and your peers, we
hope to continue this process. Take advantage of this opportunity by asking hard questions and
demanding honest answers. After all, tomorrow, we will be inheriting the world that today’s
leaders have left behind.

We would like to thank the YBS and BSM staffs for working tirelessly over the past year. We
hope you enjoy the conference and leave with a greater understanding of the underlying forces
that have shaped and will continue to shape Asia.

Best Regards,

Asia Tomorrow Team 2010
