We are looking forward to welcoming the academic and research community to the beautiful city of Dubrovnik from 5th–6th April 2019 for the 7th International OFEL Conference, hosted by the University of Dubrovnik, Department of Economics and Business Economics.

OFEL 2018 was our sixth conference to date, with high profile plenary sessions and over a hundred papers presented across 4 major tracks. The OFEL 2019 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 speaker at OFEL 2019 will be Modupe Akinola, Sanford C. Bernstein Associate Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Columbia Business School.
In conjunction with the OFEL 2018 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 2019 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
