Theme: “Joining P&OM forces worldwide: Present and future of Operations Management”
This theme represents the spirit of the P&OM World Conferences and aims to encourage the P&OM World to join together during a challenging time of global change and increasing competition. The worldwide P&OM community needs to propose ways to help companies to face a World of growing complexity and changing requirements. There are many open questions: Which is the current situation of OM and its challenges for the future”, “How might OM help to catch up with the growing complexity of the global production networks"?, “Which are the suitable new directions for services operations management research, policy and practice?”,“How to increase or at least to maintain competitiveness and performance while being sustainable?”, “How might operations management contribute to solve major actual humanitarian & environmental challenges?”, “How will the industrial Internet / industry 4.0 change efficiency and effectiveness?”. The 5th World P&OM Conference seeks to answer to these and other important questions through the synergy created by the sharing the knowledge and experience of P&OM scholars from all over the world.
Following this idea, special attention has been paid to redefining the keynote sessions, where in a single session not one, but at least 3 keynote speakers will share their opinions on important topics in our discipline and encourage the audience to take part in the debate. About 20 keynote speakers from all over the world have agreed to join forces and collaborate in this enriching new experience in plenary and semi-‐plenary sessions.
In addition, about 40 well-‐known OM scholars from all over the world have agreed to collaborate in this joint effort by organizing around 30 invited sessions and 5 invited tracks on hot topics in our discipline.
This Conference intends to collaborate in building strong foundations for the future of P&OM, supported by three pillars that should always be interconnected: research, practice and teaching. Papers on all topics related to research, practice and teaching of Production and Operations Management in Industry and Service sectors are invited, in particular the topics below should be addressed as well as the specific topics shown in the invited sessions.

Invited track on: Scholarship in Operations and Supply Chain Management: Innovations in Research and Teaching (open for submissions)
Organised by: Janet Godsell (University of Warwick, UK. EurOMA Board. J.Godsell@warwick.ac.uk )
Track content:
Wickham Skinner is regarded as one of the founding fathers of modern Operations
& Supply Chain Management (O&SCM). In his seminal 1969 Harvard Business Review article, Skinner was the first to make the link between corporate and manufacturing strategy. Skinner s observations were grounded in over a decade of employment with Honeywell and were driven by a desire to solve the O&SCM problems he had witnessed. Over 40 years later, in his 2010 keynote address at the Decision Science, Skinner expressed concerns that O&SCM was losing its industrial relevance, as academics focused on publication ( taking from the system ) and not solving the big problems of today.
Scholarship in O&SCM is a holistic and integrative process based on insights and perceptions gained from a scholars consultancy, application, teaching and research activities. The purpose of this track is to share perspectives on innovative practices in teaching, research, and the synergies created between them.
To reflect the discursive and emergent nature of the track we welcome suggestions for papers, poster sessions and workshops that exemplify how different aspects of scholarship in O&SCM can be advanced.
Invited track on: Managing Industry-‐Academic Collaboration in Operations
Management (open for submissions)
Organised by: Ben Clegg (b.t.clegg@aston.ac.uk , Aston University, UK. EurOMA Board. ) and Jan Olhager (Jan.Olhager@tlog.lth.se , Lund University, Sweden. Past EurOMA VP Finance. )
Track content:
This special track will focus on how to manage the process for industry-‐academic collaboration, how to make research more relevant to practice, and how to increase and improve collaboration between academics and professionals to increase the impact which OM research can have beyond academia. We specifically invite papers which:
. describe the process of successful practice based research
. discuss the do and don ts of engagement with industry and professionals
. advise on intellectual property issues, contractual terms and conditions etc.
. reveal which sort of methodologies work effectively and why
. investigate which theories are and aren t contemporary and relevant
. guide data collection and validation
. inform how to make reciprocal knowledge transfer work
. advise on how universities should attract more industry and professional interactions
. enlighten the valorisation process to ensure academia, industry and the wider society benefit through collaboration.
This stream is not focused upon the outcomes of applied research per se, rather the approaches by which it is effectively delivered. Novel approaches and papers co-‐authored with people from industry and professional organisations are particularly welcome. We wish this track to be interactive and lively so that the above points can be debated.
