Managerial Accounting Phd申请请教

bcdasein

本人准备申请13fall的accounting Phd, 对managerial比较感兴趣，喜欢钻研会计信息如何用于支持企业内部管理决策问题。

了解到大部分学者都是在做financial的研究，而managerial比较少，不知申请这个方向的Phd会不会很难。
本人对managerial中的analytical modeling方向不太感兴趣，而对archival, field, survey等实证研究比较来电，特别是到企业中调研发现新问题，并从理论高度给予分析、解释和预测；但是我不是很清楚美国managerial研究现状和发展趋势如何。

项目主任说它了解到只有USC这方面做得好，而且本系managerial方向一国内大牛教授也刚和USC的几个教授在European Accounting Review发了文，一直博师姐下个学期就被推荐到USC联合培养一年，不知USC申请难度如何。
我上个星期也刚和教授、师姐去了一家国内上市公司调研，暂时准备写成英文field research paper发表，师姐之前的field research paper已经被一个一般英文期刊入稿了，她说美国学者对中国企业内部管理会计问题还是很感兴趣的。

因为managerial accouting这方面信息个人了解有限，所以特向各位版主和大牛学长姐们请教关于managerial accouting学习与Phd申请建议，学弟先在此谢过了。

谢谢师姐的建议
之前系主任曾说过michigan的管理会计研究学者挺多的，但一直不知道是MSU还是UMich

Thank you for your kind advice!

Don't limit yourself before your PHD study. YOu can say you are interested in managerial accounting, but be open-minded. Schools like this type of applicants.

ProCPA is absolutely right unless you have a very deep understanding on the area you want to focus on.

Thank you for your important advice. Actually, I have been waiting for your reply since I posted this inquiry.
Now I am also taking a seminor on empirical accounting research(almost on financial accounting), and try to find interesting topics in this area. I may do some researches on financial accounting as well. I'll be open minded.
Thank you again.
