About

Our work is based on long-term cooperation with our industrial partners.

Background

We examine – through a management accounting lens – diverse topics relevant and current for our business partners. Cost and profitability management in one form or another is a common factor in every research project conducted by CMC.

Goal

CMC’s aim is to support Finnish and international organizations in their business renewal in B2B and B2C markets as well as to acquire high-quality academic results through the development projects in collaboration with industrial firms, public sector organizations and other research institutions.

Impact

Close cooperation with real-life companies guarantees the practical relevancy of research findings and at the same time helps identify new and interesting research questions.
