The PMM Department is composed of 12 full-time faculty specializing in Performance Measurement & Management in organizations and society. Our team believes in a critical approach to performance management to challenge, understand and improve, sometimes \u2018taken-for-granted\u2019, practices. In our research we use organizational and sociological approaches to study performance measurement practices and control processes in private and public sectors and alternative forms of organizations (NGO, cooperatives, etc.). We are open to a plurality of methods and cover topics like:<\/p>\n
\u2022 measuring various types of performance (financial, operational, sustainability, ethical performance, impact, etc.),<\/p>\n
\u2022 management control systems (KPIs, dashboards, responsibility centres, incentives, social control, etc.) and digital technologies that support them (AI, ERPs, etc.),<\/p>\n
\u2022 types of individuals and society created by quantification of performance in every life domains (selftracking devices, ratings & rankings, impact measurement on social media etc.)<\/p>\n
We publish our research in leading academic journals including Accounting, Organizations and Society; Contemporary Accounting Research; Critical Perspectives in Accounting; Comptabilit\u00e9 Contr\u00f4le Audit\/Accounting Auditing Control; European Accounting Review; Management Accounting Research; Organization; Organization Studies; Journal of Management Studies, among others.<\/p>\n
We value case-based, research-based, project-based teaching approaches to raise reflexivity. We teach the management accounting & control tools but also skills to be reflexive about them (question their design, use, effects). Since the very notion of best practices can be questioned, we aim to open the black box of performance measures to unveil their inner workings, underlying assumptions and biases and potential implications. We believe that this approach is important to generate more sustainable management practices.<\/p>\n
Applicants should submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, research & pedagogical statement, sample copies of their research and two letters of reference to Professor Claire Dambrin and Professor Olivier Saulpic, coordinators of the PMM Department, at pmm.recruitment@escp.eu , indicating “PMM Turin position” in the subject of the email. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis. The position will remain open until a suitable candidate is found.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
