New Academic Position for DART Alumna

Freitag, 18.03.2016

Katrin Weiskirchner-Merten is the fifth DART alumna. In October 2015, she successfully defended her thesis titled ‘Participation in the Budgeting Process: Economic Analysis of Selected Issues.’ In her work, she studies the design of the budgeting process when agency problems occur. In particular, the economic benefits and costs of top-down, participative, and mixed budgeting processes are considered. Her findings indicate that the use of participative budgets is not necessarily optimal and that the expected profitability of a company can be affected by the design of the budgeting process. In addition, the results show that, despite the negative connotation, a manager’s empire building tendencies can positively affect a company’s expected profit. Recently, she accepted an assistant professor position at the Management Accounting and Control Group at the Vienna University of Economics and Business.
