Janine Maniora

Prof. Dr. Janine Maniora serves as Professor of Business Administration, especially Financial Accounting, at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf's Faculty of Business and Economics since 2021, following prior appointments at Technical University of Munich (2018-2021) and TU Dortmund (2016-2018). Her interdisciplinary research bridges financial reporting, corporate social responsibility, sustainability, auditing, and digital transformation through theory-driven empirical methodologies.

Her educational foundation includes a doctorate from Ruhr University Bochum with international research stays at Harvard Business School, UC San Diego, Boston University, and Tongji University Shanghai. This global perspective informs her investigation of how corporate information provision impacts market dynamics and regulatory frameworks.

Maniora's scholarly work demonstrates consistent evolution from early analyses of EU non-financial reporting directives (2013-2015) toward contemporary examinations of social media's capital market effects (2024) and pandemic-related market interventions (2023). Her publications reveal a strategic focus on regulatory impacts, digital disclosure channels, and sustainability integration across diverse market contexts.

Key recognitions include:

• Fellowship for digital higher education innovation (Stifterverband/NRW Ministry, 2017)
• DAI University Prize (German Stock Exchange Institute, 2012)

In pedagogy, she integrates practical industry collaborations into bachelor's and master's curricula for IFRS, auditing, and corporate governance courses, emphasizing real-world business insights. Her research team actively disseminates findings through international conferences and dual-channel publication in academic journals and practice-oriented outlets to bridge theory and business applications.

Maniora leads interdisciplinary projects examining digital transformation's impact on financial reporting ecosystems, maintaining HHU's Oeconomicum as a collaborative hub for addressing societal challenges through accounting research.
