| book description |
Gain consulting insights into business decision-making in today’s environment Business and Management Consulting, 6th Edition, by Wickham and Wilcock, first published as Management Consulting over 20 years ago to guide students through the consultancy process. This edition, renamed Business and Management Consulting, reflects the way in which the consulting world has changed over the past two decades - new digital technologies have made information more accessible and changed the way businesses have to operate, so management consultants need to have a wider view of their client company. Management consulting remains a popular career choice but undertaking a consulting project for the first time can seem daunting for a student or new professional. This book continues to offer a practical guide to balancing theory and practice, while also giving tips and techniques to the more seasoned practitioner, so is ideal for anyone who is undertaking a consulting project. This is delivered from the accumulated knowledge and insight of the authors and contributors, who all have been consultants. The 6th Edition has been revised to reflect how new technologies for communication and information gathering have changed the way in which consultants operate. It also includes more insights into how businesses take decisions that impact consulting projects in today’s faster paced, more volatile environment.
