Professor Schloetzer Receives American Accounting Association Award

Jason Schloetzer, an assistant professor at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business, recently was awarded the Best Dissertation Award from the Management Accounting Section of the American Accounting Association. His dissertation, “Essays on Non-Financial Performance Measurement, Relative Bargaining Power and Supply Chain Performance,” was recognized for its outstanding contribution to accounting education, research, and practice. The formal awarding took place during AAA’s annual meeting in New York City.

Schloetzer’s paper explores how common supply chain initiatives are associated with future supply chain partner financial performance. His dissertation is part of a growing literature in managerial accounting that incorporates supply chain activities and extended enterprise into expanded notions of strategic cost management. According to Schloetzer, his dissertation “attempts to contribute to this literature by examining how firms employ measurement and analysis tools, such as supplier scorecards, to select and evaluate supply chain partner performance.”
