OFEL 2017 was our fifth conference to date, with high profile plenary sessions and over a hundred papers presented across 4 major tracks. The OFEL 2018 conference offers a unique opportunity for scholars and practitioners interested in the issues related to leadership, governance, management, education, and entrepreneurship to share their thinking and latest research findings.
The keynote speakers at OFEL 2018 will be Professors Kamal Munir, University of Cambridge Judge Business School, Martin Kenney, Distinguished Professor of Community and Regional Development at the University of California, Davis and Dr. Mehmet Huseyin Bilgin, a full professor of economics at Istanbul Medeniyet University in Istanbul, Turkey.
In conjunction with the OFEL 2017 conference, a PhD student and junior faculty research development workshop was held by the Academy of Management (AoM) OMT Division. We are very pleased to announce that the academic writing workshop will be held as a part of the OFEL 2018 conference, which will once again enrich the experience of all participants.
We would like to invite all scholars, post‐graduate students and doctoral candidates interested in any of these fields of research or practice to join us in shaping the future of our discipline in a friendly and supportive environment.
