- Abstract
The article explores historical highlights and the key drivers of growth in the management consulting sector. While management practice is as old as civilization itself, management theory and management consulting are of more recent vintage. It discusses the background and history of management consulting. In offering astute advice, management consultants are being asked to cover a range of topics, as well as coaching, implementation, and matching goals with results. The major service lines offered by management consultants have been traditionally divided into four groups: strategy, human resources, operations, and information technology.
