Research

In his research, Kim studies management accounting and control in public sector organisations. His research interest is, broadly stated, about the construction of and conditions for management accounting and control as well as management accounting and control in everyday organisational life.

In 2021, Kim defended his thesis “Assembling control: The emergence of a multiplicity of management controls” (in Swedish).

During the spring and fall of 2021, Kim was part of a research project where he studied how managers at an operative level in a central government agency interpret and make sense of the management control to which employees are subjected.

At the moment, Kim is involved in a project about management control and dialogues. The project is about dialogues among actors that are part of early planning processes for infrastructure projects. Examples of initial questions are: how does management control from different actors’ condition dialogues among actors? When, how, and why does management control play a role in dialogues? The project intends to contribute to an understanding of the relationship between management control and dialogues. The project extends from October 2021 to October 2024.

He is connected to the academy of management accounting and control in central government (AES) at Stockholm Business School at Stockholm university.
