O’Mahoney and Markham: Management Consultancy, 2 nd edition Summary
O’Mahoney and Markham: Management Consultancy, 2 nd edition Summary This chapter has outlined the different segmentations of the consulting industry. The key points include: Strategy consultancies are moving downstream and doing management work, whilst IT and outsourcing consultancies are trying to move upstream into the same area. IT, finance and manufacturing companies are increasingly offering consultancy services to boost their revenues. Procurement departments are increasingly used to batter down consultancy fees. Banking and finance account for most of the income in private sector consulting, but public sector has grown enormously over the last ten years, especially in IT consulting.
