Product description

Review

In this book, Baaij effectively captures the breadth of the field, from the normative pull of a true “helping” role to the critical depiction of management consultants as little more than masters of rhetoric skilled at organizational sorcery. The volume contains myriad insights into consultancy’s micro- and macro-level dynamics, from individual consultants and their roles, responsibilities and expectations, to the competitive realities of consultancies and the knowledge management challenges of our post-industrial age, to the nature and nuances of consulting projects. The book will be equally valuable for those interested in entering the consulting industry as well as new managers for whom working with consultants is a novel experience. Baaij is to be commended for providing sufficient insight into the dynamics underlying management consulting that readers will come away with a much richer understanding of this complex, ambiguous domain.
