Abstract

The aim of this article is to analyse practices of management accounting in small businesses. A study based on a sample of 86 firms examines, (1) costs and price methodologies, and (2) management tools. After a descriptive approach the author proposes a typology for each item. The size seems to be significant to explain the use of management tools. The production process, products characteristics and the role of clients are more relevant for cost and price methodologies.
