Recommendation

You may have difficulty grasping exactly what management consultants do. Professor Marc G. Baaij sets out to close that knowledge gap and make the complex world of management consultancy more comprehensible to those outside the industry. Whether you hope to understand what to expect of a consultant or aspire to be a consultant yourself, Baaij explains the processes consultants apply to tasks, ranging from identifying problems to implementing solutions, while offering insights into the management consultancy ecosystem.

Take-Aways

  • Management consultants independently advise managers on important decisions. 
  • Digitization is transforming client firms’ expectations and changing consultancy into a product.
  • The elite status and perks of consultant work draw business graduates.
