This title was first published in 2002: The history of management
consulting in Britain is a subject that has received little
attention in the past in terms of research or publication. This
work redresses the gap in the knowledge base of business and
management history, presenting the historical situation in the
context of management consulting. Identifying the beginnings of
consultancy services in the mid-nineteenth century, Ferguson charts
its progression through a series of time frames that span the
twentieth century. Utilizing a series of consistent themes, such as
service delivery forms and training, which can be compared and
contrasted across time, the book provides not only a history of
management consultancy services, but also shows how the take-up and
form of services was heavily dependent upon the prevailing
attitudes within business to the role of management. The thoroughly
researched and well-presented arguments in this book will greatly
add to our knowledge of British management during the twentieth
century.
