    “And Now for Something Completely Different” Stimulating Interventions to Improve Academic Outcomes in Financial Accounting Courses
    (UniversityPublications.net, 2019)
    ;
    Steinkellner, Peter 
    Based on social-psychological and motivation theories, well-crafted interventions have proven remarkably effective to improve educational outcomes in higher education. The intervention we will present in this paper focuses on promoting motivation and performance in financial accounting courses. It aims at reducing class-related boredom which is commonly experienced by students and has an impact on their learning engagement and achievements. Two university courses on financial accounting have been subject to a stimulating intervention, a short lecture in a field unrelated to accounting. The study found a hugely beneficial impact on the dropout rates as well as the average grades particularly for younger (18 to 20 years) full-time students and a somewhat smaller positive impact on the average grades for older (25 to 30 years) part-time students.

    EU Think Tanks in the Back Seat? Perspective for the 21st Century
    (Verlagshaus Hernals, 2014)
    ;
    Dialer, Doris 
    Our central argument was that EU think tanks’ evolution has resulted in an interconnected hybrid EU think tank sphere, built on a common need for access to the political elite, to financial resources, and to media attention. We substantiated our claim by taking a closer look at three dominant Brusselsbased EU think tanks. Hence we proved that their activities are driven by the logics of the market or more precisely the ‘art’ of responsiveness to political demand and the ability to sell ideas. In this struggle for economic survival a tendency for enhanced competition but also cooperation can be recognised in approaching the target audience. EU think tanks tend to please politicians and EU stakeholders by giving intellectual feed to pre-existing concepts. You hardly find any EU-sceptic think tanks around Brussels. Yet, without producing innovative ideas, they only act as a driving force behind already established political debate. We argued that meeting the challenges of 21st century requires updating think tanks’ logic from an obsolete “EU operating” system focused entirely on corporate and institutional elites to a future orientated “EU shaping” system that emphasises creative and innovative thinking beyond existing institutional and financial frameworks.
