Produktbeschreibung
The field of management consulting is a multi- billion dollar industry with significant reach and influence in the United States and worldwide. Yet, it has been both underresearched and largely undiscussed outside the inner circles of the field itself. Using a critical interpretive approach, this study uses empirical data from informant interviews with consultants and clients, secondary data from a variety of sources, and participant observation and case studies to examine the field of management consulting from historical, descriptive, structural, and cultural perspectives. Exploring the field within the framework of Pierre Bourdieu s theory of practice in combination with social network theory, the research question guiding this inquiry was: What are the properties, dimensions, and dynamics of the various species of capital operating within the field of management consulting; how are these species of capital interrelated and to what effect?
