The joint-PhD Colloquium is organised by Faculty of Business and Law, Taylor’s University and Othman Yeop Abdullah Graduate School of Business (OYAGSB), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) in 2021, to provide feedback on PhD candidates’ work-in-progress from a broader group of academics, fellow students and experienced scholars. In this vain, the PhD Colloquium not only provides candidates opportunity to present their work to the peers, mentors and internal and external academicians, but also to network with one another in a meaningful setting for constructive scholarly exchanges. Moreover, it would contribute towards a transformative journey for PhD candidates by exposing them to fundamentals of a PhD journey including learning from others’ research, potentials of publishing out of a PhD work and collaboration for scholarly projects with experts of their filed.
