How can we advance the frontiers of management and move forward in today's rapidly changing and challenging business landscape?

This question forms the heart of the theme for the 2019 conference. We seek to challenge both scholars and practitioners to be bold and creative in exploring key and pressing issues as well as hot topics in business and management. This conference theme is intended to spur discussion and advance innovative research approaches which enhance both knowledge and practice.
