  • Management control systems in family businesses: do women matter? Evidence from the Italian food sector

    Management control systems in family businesses: do women matter? Evidence from the Italian food sector
    Elisa Truant; Laura Broccardo; Vanessa Ratten
    International Journal of Entrepreneurship and Small Business, Vol. 37, No. 1 (2019) pp. 54 – 70
    The aim of the project was to investigate medium-size family firms in Italy operating in the food sector, which is crucial for the national economy as it ranks second after the metal and mechanical engineering industries. Special attention was paid to whether the presence of women in top managerial positions had any significant effect on the strategic orientation of family firms (FFs), in terms of strategy formulation and implementation of management control systems. The results of empirical analysis using a sample of family businesses show that gender diversity in top managerial positions can benefit strategic orientation, as FFs are more likely to formulate and implement strategy through advanced management control tools.
