His research demonstrates a consistent focus on bridging theoretical accounting frameworks with practical business applications.

Dr. Blome actively supervises theses in his areas of expertise, particularly welcoming topics related to controlling with connections to IFRS accounting or corporate valuation. He emphasizes the importance of students having sufficient background knowledge in controlling before undertaking thesis work, and encourages early consultation to develop research topics. His professional experience in corporate controlling provides practical context for his academic supervision.
