Curriculum Vitae

Marc Wouters is Professor of Management Accounting at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Dean of the Department of Economics and Management (Dekan der KIT-Fakultät für Wirtschaftwissenschaften).

My research addresses the use of management accounting in operations and innovation, conducted often with colleagues from other disciplines and with companies. I regularly use case studies as a research method. My work has been published in a variety of journals, such as: Harvard Business Review, MIT Sloan Management Review, Accounting, Organizations and Society, Contemporary Accounting Research, Accounting Horizons, Management Accounting Research, Human Resource Management, Interfaces, Journal of Operations Management, R&D Management, European Journal of Operational Research, International Journal of Operations and Production Management, and Industrial Marketing Management. Marc Wouters is on the Editorial Board of several journals. In 2012, Marc published “Cost Management—Strategies for Business Decisions,” with Frank Selto, Ronald Hilton, and Michael Maher, McGraw-Hill Higher Education, ISBN-13 9780077132392.

Before joining the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Marc Wouters was full professor at the University of Twente (2001-2011). He also worked for Eindhoven University of Technology (1996-2001), Ernst & Young Management Consultants (1993-1996), and the University of Maastricht (1993-1996). He was visiting scholar at Stanford University, School of Engineering (1999-2000). Since 2013, Marc is visiting professor of management accounting at the University of Amsterdam. Marc Wouters has a Master’s and PhD degree in industrial engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology, Netherlands, and a Master’s degree in economics from Tilburg University, Netherlands.
