How Compensation Affects Performance
I have been working on research projects concerning managers' incentive plans and performance evaluations and how changes in compensation schemes affect firm performance. In addition, I examine how corporate governance (e.g., board independence and ownership concentration) affects the relationship between information technology investment and firm performance. My research interests not only pertain to U.S. companies but also to companies in other countries such as China, Japan, and Taiwan. In both managerial accounting and global business classes, I have used my research findings to discuss related issues.

Proactively Networking
My advice to incoming students would be: Be proactive in building your networking relationships. The School provides the tools and means for students and it is important that students are willing to approach fellow classmates, professors, and anyone in their realm. The worst thing someone can do is expecting relationships to be built without taking actions and making the effort.
