      WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES:

      The Doctoral Workshop's goal is to bring together promising
      Ph.D. students who are working in the area of empirical
      management accounting research to develop their
      methodological skills and acquire a deeper understanding of
      the state-of-the-art concepts in managerial accounting.
      Resident faculty will work intensively with the workshop
      participants to develop their dissertation research. In
      addition, the workshop will help students to establish an
      international network of colleagues committed to excellence
      in research.


      PROGRAM OUTLINE:

      The workshop consists of plenary presentations by resident
      faculty, individual feedback sessions with students, and
      paper or research proposal presentations by students. In
      addition, students are invited to participate in Tilburg
      University's Fall Camp in Management Accounting on Thursday
      (October 9), whose featured speakers include Dennis
      Campbell (Harvard), Qi Chen (Duke), David Larcker
      (Stanford), and Margaret Abernethy (Melbourne). During
      (interactive) class sessions, faculty provide a overview of
      and hands-on training in the major research methods in
      management accounting (survey, experiments, archival). All
      methods are illustrated by discussing recent papers which
      have appeared in the major journals in the field and by
      showing how each method can help to answer important
      unsolved issues in the literature. See our website for the
