Abstract

Studies on gender accounting are quite recent. Drawing upon criticism of dominant economic theories as developed within Feminist Economics, this paper aims to provide an original contribution to studies on gender accounting by establishing whether the (male) assumptions of the theory of the enterprise can be submitted to critical revision. As a foray into a field of research that we intend to further explore in the future, this paper focuses on the work of Italian women scholars Isa Marchini and Rosella Ferraris Franceschi. More specifically, it ponders the contribution they gave to the discipline in order to identify innovative insights that could enable original and enriching criticism to mainstream theories.

Attributions: The paper is the result of common analysis and the contribution of both authors for each paragraph is of 25%.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A proper English equivalent for Economia Aziendale has yet to be found. The discipline is alternatively referred to as ‘Business Administration’ or ‘Business Economics’ in international literature. However, since there has been no agreement on a shared definition, we have decided to use the Italian one.

  2. 2.

    The expression of accounting art comes from another author too: Amodeo (1994).

  3. 3.

    “The glass ceiling is a transparent barrier that kept women from rising above certain levels in corporations… It applies to women as a group who are kept from advancing higher because they are women” (Morrison et al. 1997: 13).

  4. 4.

    “The Zappiano link between management, organisation and detection is deeply assimilated through personal interpretations: the author is never necessarily a continuation” (Cafferata 2006, p. 20).

  5. 5.

    Marchini (1954), Lineamenti di contabilità meccanizzata. Scelta ed applicazione del procedimento - Features of mechanised accounting: choice and application of the procedure.

  6. 6.

    “The objective analysis perspective typical of EA, oriented to the knowledge and governance of trends, that has led to the process research and process combination model, is integrated and completed with the subjective analysis perspective, aimed at knowledge and guide of the functions and activities carried out by the subjects that actually operate in companies” (Ferraris Franceschi 1998a, p. 102).

    Podestà, 1971; Spranzi, 1982; Rugiadini, 1974 follow her.

  11. 11.

    See: Marchini (1988b), Cesaroni (2006:225 and following).

  12. 12.

    The Aidea conference on small businesses was held in Urbino in 1985. Moreover, one can mention the creation of the scientific association for the study of small businesses (ASPI), the current centre for the study of entrepreneurship and small businesses (CRIMPI), and, starting from the first issue (1988), the international journal Piccola Impresa/Small Business that Marchini founded and directed from 1990 to 2000 and which marked generations of scholars and characterised the specialisation of studies on entrepreneurship and small businesses at the Faculty of Economics of Urbino where she served until 2005.

  13. 13.

    “Her approach to the problems of management and corporate governance is rooted in Italian EA, but has always been open to international doctrine” (Cafferata 2006:20).
