Management Consulting Today and Tomorrow Perspectives and Advice from Leading Experts

Peter Lorange, Lorange Institute of Business Zurich, Switzerland

"For this book, Poulfelt and Olson have assembled a veritable 'who's who' in the world of management and organizational consultants, including themselves. One could not ask for better coverage: comprehensive and broad, yet with depth and very current. I know of no better compendium on today's consulting world."

W. Warner Burke, Columbia University, USA

"When Larry Greiner published his seminal work on 'Consulting to Management' some 35 years ago, he laid the groundwork to a deeper understanding of a practice which has been growing exponentially since. The new and updated edition builds on his heritage and provides an impressive kaleidoscope that constitutes today's diverse universe of management consulting. An indispensable companion for consultants and their clients alike!"

Roland Deiser, Claremont Graduate University, USA

"The business of management consultancy has been changing over the last 30 years. The business grew economically, the skills of the consultants developed further, the roles of consultants became more differentiated, and the firms were better managed. This book covers a complete set of issues on management consultancy compiled by well-known and experienced professionals in this field. The group of editors and authors have succeeded in collecting relevant theory, experience, and practices to describe the-state-of-the-art of the sector."

Leon de Caluwe, Vrije Universiteit, The Netherlands

"In this newest edition, like the original Greiner and Poulfelt edition, Poulfelt and Olson have designed a book that can be used for my own consulting work or in the classroom where wannabe consultants are yearning for the most current consulting knowledge. Students demand cases, challenges, and insights from the shrouded world of consulting - these authors offer it all with real world learnings."
