Assistant Professor of Management Accounting

WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management

Hi there, I’m Victor!

I am an Assistant Professor at WHU - Otto Beisheim School of Management, specializing in conducting laboratory, field, and online experiments. Recent examples of questions that I tackle with my research are:

  • Why are managers more reluctant to let go of control over their employees than take control over their employees?
  • How can we design performance feedback to motivate underperforming employees?
  • To what extent does the prospect of rotating to another business unit change how a manager reports to upper management?
