Madhav’s primary area of research interest is the economics-based analysis of management accounting issues, especially as they relate to the choice of internal control and performance systems in firms.  His theoretical work has examined the optimal choice of information and incentive systems and the rationale behind observed internal accounting practices related to cost allocation and capital budgeting.  Madhav has also carried out empirical research, using both archival and field data, on the role of incentive systems, quality-based programs, and buyer-supplier relations.  In 2004, he received the Notable Contribution to Management Accounting Literature award for his work with Stan Baiman on “The Role of Information and Opportunism in the Choice of Buyer-Supplier Relationships.”

 

Madhav’s most recent work focuses on the internal control of multi-divisional firms.  Topics include the efficiency of auction markets at allocating resources across divisions and the usefulness of bonus pools as a means for incorporating subjective measures of managerial performance.  He is also currently involved in a research project that looks at whether and how accounting measures of performance can be used to infer the economic profitability of firms.

 

Madhav has served as an editor of The Accounting Review for the past six years.  He is an associate editor for both the Accounting and Operations areas for Management Science, and for the Journal of Accounting, Auditing and Finance.  He is a member of the Management Accounting section of the American Accounting Association and has twice been a plenary speaker at the AAA Management Accounting Conference.
