Jukka Pellinen is Professor of Management Accounting and the Head of Accounting, Corporate Finance and Commercial Law.
I am passionate about conducting research in collaboration with a variety of organizations. Through this work, I seek to contribute to society by helping organizations address management challenges, producing research reports, and educating both accounting professionals and experienced business leaders. My core expertise lies in identifying and developing management accounting and financial management practices that are tailored to the specific organizational context and managerial situation (e.g., financial management in growth companies, universities, and healthcare organizations, as well as risk management in cities).
He earned his Ph.D. in Accounting from the University of Jyväskylä (1997).

The focus of my research and teaching interests lies in two areas: a) Management accounting change, particularly innovation in accounting ICT and new ways of organizing accounting, and b) Public sector reforms, particularly the role of accounting in New Public Management and Performance Management in public services (e.g. healthcare, higher education, corporate taxation).

Organisaatiorakenne, kustannuslaskenta, suoritusmittaus tai tulosohjaus voivat olla hyvin tai huonosti suunniteltuja ja toteutettuja. Tutkimukseni laskentajärjestelmien suunnittelusta ja käytöstä auttaa parantamaan organisaatioiden tehokkuutta. Tärkeää tämä on heille, jotka vastaavat organisaation tuloksellisuudesta.
