Overview
Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology have experimentally examined how the use of vivid language by firms influences investor judgments drawing on research from psychology. Researchers have also examined how social media posts by employees can help predict future firm performance.
Why at Georgia Tech?
- Georgia Tech Scheller's Ph.D. program in Management - Accounting is strongly research-oriented and emphasizes the early involvement of our students in research projects with our faculty. Given the small size of the program, doctoral students receive significant attention and support from the faculty members, several of whom hold editorial positions in the top journals in accounting.
- The Ph.D. program will prepare you to be a world-class research scholar ready to contribute to accounting research at a top-tier business school. Atlanta is home to a strong research community in accounting thanks to several schools located in the area. Ph.D. students at Tech will have both formal and informal opportunities to draw on the strength of this research community.
