The present study is based on the thesis statement that it is possible and necessary to develop successful business which takes care of preserving the environment in Bulgaria. With reference to this the objective of the present research is to study the problems of sustainable development in the country and in particular the prospects of doing sustainable business in the rural regions of Bulgaria. Three sub goals further expand the main objective of the study, namely: to analyze the problems of sustainable use of natural resources; to outline the main trends in the preservation of the environment and biodiversity; and to specify the models and forms of sustainable business development in the country. The specific tasks that the study completes are related to revealing the economic and social advantages of sustainable development, identifying the problems of sustainable use of natural resources in Bulgaria and coordinating the mutual efforts of business agents in the rural regions for achieving sustainable development. The results of the research are as follows: outlining approaches to sustainable use of natural resources within their capacity as a prerequisite of any long-term development by coordinating the political, economic and social systems; suggesting models for sustainable resource use on the basis of organic farming; highlighting the advantages of sustainable agriculture as an opportunity for reducing unemployment, migration processes and local economy development in the endangered regions of Bulgaria.

Blended learning is an innovative approach which combines face-to-face and electronic form of learning. For blended learning to be implemented, a virtual learning environment must be created. This environment enables students to perform various tasks and activities in order to improve the quality of their education and achieve higher results. One of the most widespread methods of implementing blended learning is the use of Moodle LMS (learning management system), which enables lecturers to create online content, develop courses, register users and manage the learning process. This form of learning has been successfully implemented over the last few years by lecturers at the Department of Foreign Languages at the D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics in Svishtov both in language courses and in their work on a series of scientific and research projects. The results of all these activities so far have been positive. So far, however, at the D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics no comparison has been made between the activities and the results of implementing blended learning in foreign language and non-foreign language subjects. The aim of this research is to ascertain to what extent blended learning is efficient in foreign language teaching and in teaching economic subjects. In carrying out the activities, we created a learning environment and conducted a scientific experiment. The results of the research show that blended learning is applicable in both groups of subjects, which gives ground for working further and expanding the scope of its application at the D. A. Tsenov Academy of Economics, covering more subjects and more forms of education.

The aim of this study is to examine the market behaviour of industrial business organizations and its risk aspects and formulate ideas to successfully counteract the risks and adverse consequences of their occurrence. In this regard, the main tasks are: to examine and summarize the theoretical aspects of market behaviour of modern industrial business organizations; to systematize and analyze empirical data on its risk aspects and propose specific countermeasures. The thesis statement is that early identification and diagnosis of the risks of the market behaviour of the economic entities in industry, and the development of a policy for combating and limiting the negative consequences of their manifestation, are essential for achieving the company goals. As a result, the following were studied: the behaviour that the industrial business organizations demonstrate in the market, and the risks that accompany this type of company activities. Based on data from the empirical study it was found out that business organizations as a whole manage to demonstrate relatively adequate market behaviour. However, the adverse indications of the market environment and the many firm-wide difficulties raise a number of risks. In this context, ideas and recommendations are formulated for better (early) identification and diagnosis of the risks studied and for limiting and reducing the adverse effects of their occurrence.
