Management Consulting : A Guide to the Profession (Fourth Edn.)
It is the most complete book on all phases of Management Consulting I have come across. The book has a life beyond the course and former students tell me that it becomes a reference book after it has been used as a textbook.

As a guide for the novice consultant and reference for the experienced, this book’s grasp of the subject matter, breadth of coverage, simplicity of treatment, and accessibility is unsurpassed.

The consulting industry is going through profound changes. Practitioners and clients both need to be aware of these changes in order to ensure that client value continues to be delivered.

How fortunate for both the novice and the battle-scarred veteran to now have a new fourth edition of this classic text, which has been an indispensable tool for me over many years. Balancing the professional and the business aspects of management consulting, Milan Kubr and his team of authors have integrated the spectrum of current theories and practices into a pragmatic guide which will become the handbook of our time.
Patrick J. McKenna, management consultant and co-author of First among equals: How to manage a group of professionals
This ILO guide is a widely recognized reference work on the state of the art of management consulting. It offers an extensive introduction to consulting: its nature, professional standards, intervention methods, behavioural rules, current developments and future perspectives.
Today, the information and knowledge-based economy is constantly creating new opportunities and challenges for consultants, who can find enough work and get well paid for their services, provided they are able to cope with complex and rapidly changing conditions and meet the demands of increasingly sophisticated clients. The whole world of professional services is undergoing profound changes and management and business consultants are no exception. In this climate, consultants must continuously reinvent themselves. More than ever, learning is a life-long job for consultants. This fourth edition of Management Consulting actively reflects and confronts all these developments and challenges.
New topics covered in this edition include:
e-business consulting
consulting in knowledge management and the use of knowledge management by consultants themselves
total quality management
corporate governance
social role and responsibility of business
company transformation and renewal
public administration
intellectual property
