We simply can’t all be publishing in “top” journals!

We all know that publishing is hard (i.e., very competitive), especially in accounting (Swanson 2004; Wood 2016). Still, I feel that many academics, especially younger ones like myself do not grasp the full extent of this competiveness. As I will show in this blog, the sheer number of accounting researchers trying to publish in (top) accounting journals outnumbers the number of available &ldquo;slots&rdquo; in such journals many times. This provides a rather gloomy prospect for…

&nbsp; Being a PhD student isn&rsquo;t easy. It&rsquo;s especially terrifying right at the onset of your research journey. After wading through the literature, you have some ideas you think might work, but it&rsquo;s easy to be overwhelmed. What is worth pursuing? Will it work? Will it be publishable?

Questions from my first doctoral supervision

My first doctoral students recently graduated after a four years journey, giving me the opportunity to reflect back on my “new” completed experience as a supervisor. Overall, the supervision has been an amazing expedition aimed at growing a scholar, sharing knowledge, and developing new projects. The effect of this engagement on my own work have also been positive. It has re-energized my research agenda, made me discover the rewards of mentoring, and broken a certain…

On Humanities in Business Education

In the years leading up the last French Presidential election, economic growth, or &ldquo;la croissance&rdquo;, became a political buzzword in France. The French president at the time, Fran&ccedil;ois Hollande, staked his reelection on growth. He failed to deliver and never put his name forward for a second shot at being le pr&eacute;sident. His Minister of the Economy, Emmanuel Macron, was responsible for delivering la croissance yet failed to do so. He ended up with the…
