dr. E. Pieter Jansen wins Jim Bulloch Award for Innovations in Management Accounting Education

The Jim Bulloch Award has been established by the Management Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association. The award, a plaque and $3,000, is given to faculty members who have created or written innovative pedagogical practices or curriculum materials in the area of management accounting. Jansen wins the Award together with Kenneth A. Merchant and Wim A. van der Stede for their article Incentive Compensation Packages: the Differering Roles of Financial Performance Management. The Award will be presented at the 2009 Annual Meeting in New York.

Jansen (University of Groningen), Merchant (University of California) and Van der Stede (London School of Economics) discuss in their article a set of international cases in business. This way they are able to compare cross-national differences in performance measurement and incentive practices. With the increasing globalization of business, the authors find it imperative that students become familiar with the business conditions and pratices faced by organizations outside their home country.
