Topic

How does the literature in leading entrepreneurship journals understand the role of performance measurement and management (PMM) in startup companies? PMM as part of management accounting research has been addressed in various studies over the last years. However, most research focuses on established companies. We are particularly interested in understanding the role of PMM for startup companies in a few specific high-quality academic journals. How does PMM and management accounting help young and small companies? How do these topics build on extant literature? And what are similarities and differences between specific journals?

 

Thesis

The objective of this research project is to elaborate the understanding of PMM in leading entrepreneurship literature through a systematic literature review. Hence, you will review the literature in very few high-quality journals in entrepreneurship, such as Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, Journal of Business Venturing. In the first step you will define the objective of the literature review and formulate research questions. In the second step you will conduct the literature search. In the final step you are going to organize your results in order to answer your initial research questions and obtain new and interesting insights into the literature.
