Resume Marc Wouters Marc Wouters is Professor of Management Accounting at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany. My research addresses the usage and design of management accounting information and performance measurement systems—particularly in areas such as manufacturing, purchasing, supply chain management, new product development, and business market management. I look at financial and other quantitative information not from a control perspective, but I ask how this information can be helpful for problem solving, decision-making, and knowledge sharing. My research is interdisciplinary in nature, and projects are often conducted jointly with firms and with academic colleagues from other disciplines. Such collaboration enables the use of different research methods, but my personal preference and specialty is conducting case studies. Marc Wouters has published a large number of papers in a variety of journals (accounting as well as operations, international and Dutch, academic and professional) such as: Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, Accounting, Organizations and Society (AOS), Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR), Accounting Horizons, Accounting and Business Research, Management Accounting Research (MAR), Interfaces, Journal of Operations Management, R&D Management, International Journal of Production Economics, European Journal of Operational Research, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, Journal of Purchasing and Supply Management. Marc Wouters is member of the editorial boards of CAR, AOS, MAR, European Accounting Review, and the British Journal of Management. He was a visiting professor/scholar at Stanford University, School of Engineering (1999-2000), the University of Colorado at Boulder, Nanyang University of Technology in Singapore, Monash University in Melbourne, and HEC Paris.
I teach and I do research. I'm interested in how management accounting can support innovation and operations.
