Abstract
The field of Management Consulting research has grown rapidly in recent
years. Fuelled by the drivers of complexity and uncertainty, a growing number
of organizations - both profit and third sector alike - are looking at Management
Consulting to assist in their aims for development and change. Consultants and
change agents have become a common feature in organizational change initiatives,
with individual consultants and consulting firms now involved in both providing
advice and in implementing ideas and solutions. Management Consulting needs
to demonstrate value through the application of academic thinking to real life
challenges faced by organisations.
The book seeks to address these issues by offering applied theoretical insights
from academics that both teach Managing Consultancy and are also practicing
management consultants. Written by recognized experts in their field, the
contributors combine original insights with authoritative analysis.
Uniquely, this book identifies emerging themes with critical discourse and provides
rich empirical case study evidence to show the reader how Management Consulting
projects are implemented. The second part of the book features
real-world consultancy projects, written up as cases conducted for organizations.
The organizations themselves range from SMEs to multi-national organizations and
the public sector. The case studies are international by context and composition,
covering several continents.
