His work extensively examines management control systems , particularly in contexts of innovation , growth companies , and risk management . His research often takes a qualitative approach, investigating how accounting practices function in extreme situations (such as the Swedish migrant crisis), high-intensity organizations (like football clubs), and during organizational change processes. Analysis of Professor Carlsson-Wall's recent publications reveals a strong thematic focus on the intersection of accounting practices with sports management and public sector administration.
