Carsten Rohde

Carsten Rohde serves as Professor and Head of the Department of Accounting at Copenhagen Business School (CBS), where he oversees academic operations while maintaining active research in management control systems, cost accounting, and information systems. His leadership position has temporarily suspended his CBS teaching duties, though he remains qualified in core accounting disciplines.

Rohde's research centers on management control systems under crisis conditions—particularly in banking—and cross-cultural control design, with significant contributions to public sector accounting (especially university cost calculation) and multinational transfer pricing. His work consistently bridges theoretical frameworks with practical organizational challenges, emphasizing empirical analysis of control system adaptation during economic disruptions and cultural transitions.

Recent publications reveal strong thematic continuity: banking sector controls during/after financial crises (2016-2021), cultural influences on management control (2020), and public sector cost management (2019-2021). His scholarship demonstrates methodological diversity—from large-scale cross-cultural studies to banking crisis case analyses—with consistent focus on how organizations reconfigure control systems in response to external pressures.

As an academic leader, Rohde actively supervises PhD candidates at Reykjavik University while teaching part-time at Copenhagen and Aalborg Universities. His external engagements include subject consultation for DJØF Forlag and executive education through CBS Executive, reflecting commitment to both scholarly advancement and practical knowledge dissemination across Scandinavian academic and professional communities.
