Overview
Background
Robyn’s teaching expertise is in management accounting at the introductory, advanced and post graduate levels. Her research interests include management control system design and use, with a particular interest in health care settings. Robyn’s prior work focussed on how management control system design varies with ownership of health care organisations. More recently the focus has shifted to management control system design and use in innovative organisations and not for profit settings. In conducting her research Robyn has worked closely with a number of Queensland hospital and health services, the Australian Association of Practice Management and privately held health care businesses.
