Ioana LUPU
Personal Profile
Prior to joining ESSEC, I was a Lecturer in Management Control at Queen Mary University London and a Marie Curie Senior Research Fellow at Cass Business School, Centre for the Study of Professional Service Firms working on an EU funded project. I am the author of a book based on my PhD dissertation: “Carrières de femmes. Identité, socialisation et vie familiale dans les cabinets d’audit et d’expertise“ [Women’s careers. Identiy, Socialization and family life in the accounting firms], Vuibert Editions, Paris (2014).
​
My work received commendations such as: Faculty Transnational Research Best Conference Paper Award, Best Conference Paper Based on a Dissertation Award, and Best Paper by a Transnational Student Award (Academy of Management, 2012, 2013). My papers are published in Organization Science, Organization Studies, Human Relations, Harvard Business Review, Critical Perspectives on Accounting and Accounting, Auditing and Accountability Journal.
​
Currently, I am working on projects exploring control, identity, temporal experiences, body and compulsive behaviours in knowledge-intensive firms (audit and law firms). More recently, I examine how the COVID-19 pandemic shapes workplaces, specifically in the areas of digital transformation and data-driven performance management.
​
I am interested in supervising PhD students on the above-mentioned research themes.
