According to Max Weber charisma
will be applied to a certain
quality of individual of which
he is considered extraordinary
and treated as endowed with
supernatural, superhuman or
at least specifically exceptional
powers or qualities (Weber,
1978). In this paper we focus
on the charisma of Prof. Martti
Saario, and what role his
charisma played in the accounting
change in Finland in the middle of
twentieth century. Our aim is to
demonstrate that his exceptional
personality with charisma
succeeded in communicating
a meaningful and appealing
message to his students and
other followers. The intended
contribution of this article is to
enlarge our understanding of
accounting change in a national
context, and discover how a
personal charisma plays a role in
a historical accounting change.
