Bio

I am Judith Künneke and I work as Assistant Professor of Managerial Accounting and Academic Director of the MSc Accountancy at Tilburg University. I have obtained my Ph.D. in Managerial Accounting and Control from Maastricht University and have been a visiting scholar at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

I have published my work in a continuum of top-ranking academic journals such as The Accounting Review to practitioner-oriented platforms such as HRM Institute to increase the valorization of my findings. In my prior position as director of a funding institution I have bridged the gap between practice, academia, and policymakers in the accounting sector, recognizing the need to bring producers and users of knowledge together. Until today I am actively engaged in shaping impact and research valorization strategy of our university.

Expertise

With a focus on the interdisciplinary nature of personnel economics and managerial accounting, I investigate questions pertaining to the identification, development, and retention of employees, with a particular interest in sustainable employability and skill development. Likewise, I am interested in how managers and the design of managerial incentive systems contribute to the development of internal labor markets. The motivation to work on these topics is reinforced by current socioeconomic developments and the need for human capital to foster sustainable economic growth.

Teaching

I am an experienced teacher in BSc and MSc programs and provide lectures and tutorials in areas such as management control, accounting information systems, and financial accounting. Executive education and giving in-house workshops for various business partners expand my teaching portfolio. I mentor students during the BSc and MSc thesis process, which helps students to discover the societal relevance of academic research to their daily life. In addition, I have the pleasure of providing guidance to Ph.D. students.
