    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.
