The way corporations are directed and monitored is an intensively discussed topic. Research projects explore, e.g., the composition of supervisory boards, the disclosure of board remuneration, or the consequences of stock option programs.

Key accounting tools are transfer prices, budgets, and KPIs (e.g., Balanced Scorecard). Projects in this area examine, e.g., the question on the optimal design of KPIs, variance analysis, or budgeting.
