This position supports a balanced development of research and teaching. Faculty are expected to contribute to the school’s academic life, including academic directorship roles over time. The school provides a competitive annual research budget, complemented by additional internal funding, to support high-quality, internationally competitive research.
The PMM Department comprises 13 full-time faculty members specialising in performance measurement and management across organisations and society. Our research adopts organisational and sociological perspectives to critically examine management control practices across private, public, and alternative organisational settings (e.g., NGOs, cooperatives). We embrace methodological pluralism and focus on topics such as:
- Performance measurement across financial, operational, sustainability, and social dimensions,
- Management control systems (e.g., KPIs, incentives, dashboards) and supporting digital technologies (e.g., AI, ERPs),
- The societal and organisational implications of performance quantification.
Teaching approaches that are case-based, research-based and project-based are highly valued, as they encourage reflexivity. We teach management accounting and control tools, as well as the ability to critically reflect on them (question their design, use, and effects). Since the notion of ‘best practices’ can itself be questioned, we aim to open the black box of performance measures to reveal their inner workings, underlying assumptions, biases and potential implications. We believe that this approach is important for generating more sustainable management practices.
