Aleksandra’s research explores the performative effects of management accounting and control systems. She applies her expertise in management accounting to complex and emerging phenomena that modern organisations face – such as digitalisation, talent development, equity and sustainability. 

Aleksandra is also interested in investigating unconventional settings – including creative and innovative environments, emerging growth companies, family firms and research projects. Her work has been published in several peer-reviewed academic journals. In her research projects, she collaborates with various research institutions and organisations around the world. She has taught at different European business schools, winning several teaching and research awards.
