My research focuses on how managers use accounting and control systems to get positive outcomes for their organization, society and the environment
Qualifications
Research Interests
My research focuses on how organizations design performance measurement and control systems to better deal with an uncertain and rapidly changing environment. My recent publications focus on adaptive control systems organizations use to implement their strategic goals by going beyond budgeting, the use of culture and non-financial information as control mechanisms, and the use of performance measurement systems to manage environmental and social sustanability.
