However, some scholars have questioned the role of efficiency (Hoskin and Macve, 1988; Miller, 1994, Carmona et al., 1997, 1998 and 2002 and Gutiérrez et al., 2005) and have suggested institutional explanations for the development of cost accounting. The purpose of this research is to extend this institutional explanation of accounting spreading in the second half of the 18th century, Enlightenment Century Spain.

  • Carlos IV, King of Spain Francisco De
    TO MARK THE VISIT of the new king and queen to the capital of Andalusia, the workers at Seville’s Royal Tobacco Factory commissioned these two portraits by Goya, which were exhibited in a Temple of Fame, built specially for the occasion. They are versions of the royal couple’s official portraits, painted by the artist in 1789, soon af- ter Charles IV had ascended the Spanish throne upon the death of Charles III on 14 December 1788. Due to the urgent need for a pictorial rep- resentation of the new royal couple, this was a very busy period for the artist, who painted 18 portraits in just one year. On 25 April 1789, Goya became a painter for the King’s chamber. Although he was only named First Chamber Painter in 1799, he was the art- ist most commonly used by the royal couple: his work ranging from the necessarily conventional early portraits to the painting of the family of Charles IV, his 1800 masterpiece. The two portraits exhibited here express the ur- gent need to disseminate the image of the new monarchs. Displaying various insignia symbol- ising their power, the king and queen repeat Carlos IV, King of Spain the same poses and the same codified models. Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) Charles IV is dressed in velvet, wearing an enor- 1789 Oil on canvas mous star of diamonds, from which there hangs 127 x 94 cm the Golden Fleece, and the sash and cross of the Colección Altadis, S.A.

  • La Imagen De Joselito El Gallo En Las Artes Plásticas. Jesús Rojas-Marcos González
    141 La imagen de Joselito El Gallo en las artes plásticas. Jesús Rojas-Marcos González Palabras de la Presidenta de la Academia Ilmo. Sr. Fiscal de la Real Maestranza de Caballería, Excmos. e Ilmos. Sres. Maestrantes, Académicos, Sras. y Sres.: La razón por la cual estamos aquí reunidos en este Salón lleno de arte no es otra que proceder a la inauguración de las Jornadas culturales que se van a llevar a cabo en colaboración de la Real Maestranza de Caballería con la Real Academia de Bellas Artes. Esta Jornada que hoy comienza se va a dedicar a un insigne torero en el Centenario de su Alternativa, “Joselito El Gallo”. Como todos sabéis, el arte de la Tauromaquia fue fuente de inspiración para muchos artistas. Pintores, desde Goya a Picasso, plasmaron en sus lienzos obras dedicadas al arte del toreo; escultores que tallaron piezas maestras que quedarán para la posteridad. Un ejemplo de ellas, el entierro de Joselito, de Benlliure, donde nunca se vio tanta belleza escoltada por tan profunda tristeza; escritores, músicos y poetas, como Lorca, o Rafael de León, que en una de sus poesías a la muerte de Joselito era tal la tristeza que embargaba a la ciudad de Sevilla que describió en su poesía el llanto de la Macarena, la Madre y Señora de Sevilla, por la muerte de Joselito. Por todo esto, la Real Academia tuvo a bien que engrosara en su nómina académica un torero de Sevilla. Conferencia impartida el 19 de septiembre de 2012, en el salón de los Carteles de la Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla.

  • Institutional Pressures, Monopolistic Conditions and the Implementation
    ABACUS, Vol. 37, No. 2, 2001 INSTITUTIONAL THEORY, RTF, COST MANAGEMENT SALVADOR CARMONA AND MARTA MACÍAS Institutional Pressures, Monopolistic Conditions and the Implementation of Early Cost Management Practices: The Case of the Royal Tobacco Factory of Seville (1820–1887) In spite of our increasing understanding of the underpinnings of early cost management systems, little is still known about the reasons for the implementation of such systems in firms operating under monopolistic conditions. This article studies the enforcement by law of cost and budg- eting systems in the Royal Tobacco Factory of Seville (Spain), a manufactory of the state-owned monopoly. By doing this, we seek both to enhance understanding of the state’s motivation to enact institutional pressures aiming at the implementation of early cost management prac- tices as well as to study different organizational responses to simultane- ous pressures arising from a single institutional source. It is suggested that the state’s motivation to legally enforce the implementation of early cost and budgeting systems may be attributed to (a) the seeking of legitimacy by the state regulatory body, (b) the active agency of senior employees of the state regulatory body to keep their jobs and compensation packages on the eve of the privatization of the industry, and (c) the interest of the regulatory agency to instil the basis of mimetic isomorphism within the monopoly. Different responses by the RTF to pressures for reporting cost and budgeting information were explained by (a) the expected diffusion of firm’s non-conformity within the institutional area, (b) the expected impact of institutional rules and norms on organizational goals, and (c) the extent to which the institutional source is consistent in its demands.

    FULL REPORT - BULLFIGHTS IN SPAIN AN INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION BY IN COLLABORATION WITH S.B. (Investigation Unit Coordinator – LAV) With the exclusive veterinary contributions of José Enrique Zaldívar (President – AVATMA, Association of Veterinary Abolitionists of Bullfighting and Animal Abuse) Under coordination and review of Marta Esteban Miñano (International Managing Director – Animal Guardians) BULLFIGHTING IN ALGEMESÍ (VALENCIA) Period: from 22/09/2019 to 24/09/2019 Places: Bullring of Algemesí / Butcher shop in Algemesí / Center of Algemesí / Object of the investigation: collection of videos of the process of the bullfights starting in the breeding, followed by the transport, the act in the bullring and the process of converting the body in a meat product. In the Algemesí’s images (as well as in the ones concerning Seville and Madrid) we can see the three standard thirds (tran. phases) of the bullfight: the Tercio de Varas (tran. Third of Rods), with passes with the cape and confrontation with the horse of the picador (bullfighter on horse), the Tercio de Banderillas (tran. Third of Flags) and the Tercio de Muerte (tran. Third of Death), which includes the Faena de Muleta (cape task used by the bullfighter to tease the bull with a cape), and the process by which, with the use of various weapons (estoque, descabello and puntilla, explained below), the life of these animals is ended in the bullrings. Before going out to the ring, in the pens, a divisa (coloured ribbon), which is a double harpoon measuring 9 cm, is nailed to the bull’s neck. It is adorned with coloured ribbons which identify the ranch to which the animal belongs.

The switch to private-sector management generated a fundamental change in the demands made of the accounting sys- tem. As a result, double-entry bookkeeping and a new method of calculating costs were implemented. The paper discusses the motives behind the design of the new accounting system and its consequences using the framework provided by agency theory.
