Last week our team attended the 22nd Annual Conference for Management Accounting Research (ACMAR) at the WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management in Vallendar.

As usual, the two days were packed with interesting paper presentations, insightful and current keynotes, and overall a great opportunity to connect with fellow researchers in management accounting from all across over in a perfectly organized and friendly atmosphere by our wonderful hosts.

We are particularly proud that the paper “Incentive and Sorting Effects of Challenging Performance Targets: Evidence from the Field” – presented by our PhD student Jens Böke – and a joint research project with Martin Artz, Martin Holzhacker, and Michal Matejka, won the conference's first-ever Best Paper Award at this year’s conference!

We are already looking forward to next year’s ACMAR and will be back for sure! Thanks to all involved for the great organization!
