This course consists of two complementary parts. PhD students in the field of management accounting are encouraged to take both, as each explores different research questions, theories, and methodologies, providing distinct insights into the discipline. Both are taught by distinguished scholars with a strong publication record in top-tier journals. By taking both parts, you will gain exposure to diverse perspectives, ultimately helping you develop your own approach to management accounting research.
