Abstract
The relationship between literature/theory and practice in accounting is not well understood, especially in the area of cost accounting. This paper examines the development of both the relevant literature/theory and cost accounting practice in Italy during the nineteenth century and the first four decades of the twentieth century. In this way, the paper provides insights into aspects of accounting’s development, throwing light on alternative views such as the diffusionist and ‘multiple origins’ theories and helps to provide material for future comparative international accounting history research.File in questo prodotto:
