This timely volume provides innovative perspectives on the
management advice industry from leading contributors in critical
theory, organizational behaviour, sociology, psychology,
actor-network theory and narrative analysis. It addresses such
fundamental questions as:
What is management knowledge?
How is it created and sold?
What is the role of consultants, gurus, academics in this process?
Does the management advice industry add value?
What is the nature of the client-consultant relationship?
The development of interest in the management advice industry,
both within the business press and the social sciences, reflects
the need to answer these questions. The critical analysis presented
here evaluates what management consultants offer as well as
investigating the emergence of their industry as a contemporary
social phenomenon.
This volume provides the first critical evaluation of the
different actors and activities that comprise the management advice
sector, and will be invaluable both to those teaching courses in
consultancy and to analysts who are trying to make sense of the
explosion in the management knowledge industry.
