About MOBTS Oceania

MOBTS Oceania is a regional venture of the Management & Organizational Behavior Teaching Society that was established following a successful International MOBTS conference at University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand during February of 2020. With the growth of teaching-focuses research and training in the Oceania region (comprised of Australia, New Zealand, and the Micronesia, Melanesia, and Polynesia regions of the Pacific), alongside the growth of MOBTS, its journals, and its global reach, establishing MOBTS Oceania is the next step to fulfilling our organization's mission of enhancing teaching and learning across the management disciplines.

About MOBTS-Oceania: A community of Management Educators

The MOBTS-Oceania group emerged from the energy and enthusiasm fostered during the 2020 MOBTS International Conference in Christchurch, New Zealand. During this conference many ideas, teaching innovations, and challenges were shared amongst educators in this region. We wanted to harness this energy and create a dedicated group focused on bringing the spirit of MOBTS to the region, to foster teaching innovations in the management domain, and come together as educators.
