About

Hi, I am Saskia and I am doing my PhD at the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management in the area of Performance Management & Controlling, and I also work there as a Research Assistant. I completed my Bachelor's at the FH in Frankfurt in International Business with a focus on Management Accounting, and my Master's at the University in Maastricht in Human Decision Science. In my dissertation, I am merging these two areas and aim to explore how psychological factors affect managerial behavior in a corporate context. During my studies, I gained practical experience through internships and working student positions in market research, controlling, strategy, sales, and consulting. I have a particular interest in all topics related to decision-making and behavioral control, but due to my Bachelor's degree and my work as a Research Assistant, I have a strong connection to all controlling and accounting topics.
