Over the past three decades the Professional Service Firm (PSF)
sector has emerged as one of the most rapidly growing, profitable,
and significant in the global economy. In 2013 the accountancy,
management consulting, legal, and architectural sectors alone
generated revenues of US$ 1.6 trillion and employed 14 million
people. PSFs play an important role in developing human capital,
creating innovative business services, reshaping government
institutions, establishing and interpreting the rules of financial
markets, and setting legal, accounting and other professional
standards. The study of PSFs can offer insights into the
contemporary challenges facing organizations within the knowledge
economy, and deepen understanding of more conventional
organizations. Despite their significance, however, PSFs have until
recently remained very much in the shadows of organizational and
management research. The Oxford Handbook of Professional Service
Firms marks the coming of age of PSF scholarship with a
comprehensive and integrative exploration of current research and
thinking on PSFs, featuring contributions from internationally
renowned scholars in the fields of organizational and management
studies. It is divided into three distinct sections - the
professions, the firms, and the professionals that work within them
- and covers subjects from governance and leadership to regulation,
entrepreneurship, and diversity. Bringing together a broad range of
empirical and theoretical perspectives, the Handbook offers many
potentially important insights into the contemporary challenges of
organizations in the knowledge economy and suggests new lines of
inquiry that may shed further light on the activities and
performance of PSFs and the professionals who work within them.
