Shelley Xin Li

  • Assistant Professor of Accounting

Shelley Xin Li received her Doctoral degree in Business Administration (Accounting and Management) from the Harvard Business School. Shelley uses a mix of research methods (field experiments, archival studies, and surveys) to examine two high-level research questions: (1) how are management control mechanisms used to achieve hard-to-measure outcomes (e.g. innovation and long-term performance)? (2) how do technology-enabled information sharing systems (i.e. an information-based control mechanism) drive organizational performance? In answering these questions, she has published in top accounting journals including the Accounting Review, Journal of Accounting Research, and Contemporary Accounting Research. She has won the AAA/Grant Thornton Doctoral Dissertation Award. Shelley currently serves on the Liaison to Practice Committee for American Accounting Association’s(AAA) Management Accounting Section (MAS).
