This textbook provides students with an easy to use, proven roadmap for
completing a successful consulting project from start to finish.
Primarily designed for students who work as outside consultants on
solving client problems and investigating potential opportunities, the
textbook's structure first explains the consulting process to students
and then depicts it in a chronological flow, using real-life examples to
demonstrate practical application. Each section builds upon the previous
one, focusing on the development of critical thinking, problem solving,
and communication skills for employability. Now in its sixth edition,
this text has been fully revised to bring it up to date with the current
business context and global environment, including:
- A major expansion of the tools and resources needed for students to
conduct research on a client's situation.
- A new final chapter that ties the overarching consulting process
together and focuses on how the student should use this experience for
their own professional development.
- New examples of award-winning projects to provide practical guidance.
- Fresh material on the use of new technologies in the consulting
process, ethics and data management, and remote working.
This well-renowned model promotes a conceptual understanding of the
consulting process and the interactions between and among students, the
team, the client, and the instructor. Management Consulting Projects
should be essential reading for experiential Business Consulting
modules, Small Business Management, and Strategic Management at
postgraduate and MBA level.
