What are the arguments in favour of employing management consultants? What benefits and added value do consulting services actually offer? Why is the consulting market still growing much faster than the economy as a whole? And where can you even study consulting? What is the ideal route into consulting? What are the requirements for getting an entry-level job as a management consultant? What qualifications are in demand? Which universities offer the best opportunities? This book answers these and similar questions and provides a sound introduction to professional management consulting.
