wISE Scholarship in Oceania - Fostering the Innovation, Strategy & Entrepreneurship Community

Macquarie Business School (MQBS) would like to invite you to join us for our inaugural wISE 2023 Conference, wISE Scholarship in Oceania – Fostering the Innovation, Strategy & Entrepreneurship Community, co-hosted by Strategic Management (STR), a Division of the Academy of Management, and The Innovation, Strategy & Entrepreneurship (ISE) Research Group at MQBS.

This research-focused conference will take place at the Macquarie University city campus in which scholars will come together to support the STR #STRongerTogether initiative and the development of wISE scholarship in Oceania. The purpose of this conference is to help develop scholarly research, provide advice on the publication process, and provide an opportunity for strategic management scholars at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship research to engage with each other and the broader strategy research community in Oceania.
