Business Consulting: A Guide to How It Works and How to Make It Work (Economist)
In the last three decades of the 20th century the management consultancy industry grew at a cracking pace but increased scepticism about the value that consultants genuinely add, combined with the economic slowdown, has made life much tougher for the consulting industry. As firms have cut back on consulting services and begun to review the way they use consultants, consulting firms themselves are looking at how they need to change. People are now talking about business consulting rather than management consulting. organisations and from the consultants themselves, this book explores the new business consulting world and looks at every element of it with the aim of both helping firms make better use of consultants and showing consultants how they need to adapt and provide their clients a better service.

Excellent on describing the post-2000 world of consulting
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I have taught Strategic Consulting to MBAs since 1998. I agree completely with the other review but regret that some people may fail to buy the book because the reviewer only gave it three stars. Some of the authors' strategic frameworks are less than compelling. They do an excellent job,however, of describing the dramatic changes in the practice of consulting since the tech crash of 2000-01. The book provides value to clients as well as current and prospective consultants.
