He is particularly intrigued to show the – sometimes hidden, but always powerful – role of numbers and quantification in organizations and society. His research has been published in international leading academic journals such as, Accounting, Organizations and Society, Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal, and the Journal of Accounting Literature.
