About

Ruth Gilleran is a scholar whose research sits at the intersection of accounting, digital technology, and organizational transformation. Her work has made a significant contribution to understanding how emerging technologies are reshaping the accounting profession and broader business ecosystems. Gilleran is perhaps best known for her influential paper "Accountant as Digital Innovator: Roles and Competencies in the Age of Automation," which has accumulated over 130 citations across its 2019 and 2020 versions, making it one of the most recognized works in the field of accounting and automation. In this landmark study, she examines how Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is fundamentally altering accountants' roles and identifies the critical skills professionals must develop to thrive in an increasingly automated landscape. More recently, Gilleran has expanded her focus to blockchain technology, applying game theory to explore adoption strategies within supply chains, using the gem-diamond industry as a compelling case study. This work demonstrates her ability to bring rigorous analytical frameworks to real-world technological challenges. For students and researchers navigating the evolving digital economy, Gilleran's scholarship offers both practical insight and theoretical depth.
