The CPA International Research Chair in Management Control wants to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the reality of organizations. Its network of partner organizations provides highly diversified and fertile research grounds for researchers and students who want to adapt existing management knowledge and tools or develop new ones to solve complex problems experienced by organizations.

In addition to the roundtables organized by the Chair, such field experiences help management control practices evolve through, among other things, the dissemination of previously unpublished knowledge in popularized form and teaching materials that are relevant and current, and reflect the needs of organizations.

Organizations who wish to be informed of the Chair’s activities and collaborate in our work by welcoming interns or taking part in our comparative studies or particular roundtables can contact us.
