Conclusions.This book traces the emergence and development of the relationship between management consultancies and the British state. It seeks to answer three questions: why were management consultants brought into the machinery of the state; how has state power been impacted by bringing profit-seeking actors into the machinery of the state; and how has the nature of management consultancy changed over time? The book demonstrates the role consultants played in major developments in the postwar period. Specific case studies interrogate how consultancies influenced the policy fields of health service reform and social security benefits. This book will redefine debates amongst business historians and historians of the postwar British state about the nature of management consultancy and public sector reform.Business consultantsManagementGreat BritainHistoryEuropeHistory1492-Business ConsultingManagementHistory of Britain and IrelandHistory of Modern EuropeBusiness consultants.Management.Great BritainHistory.EuropeHistory1492-.Business Consulting.Management.History of Britain and Ireland.History of Modern Europe.001.068Weiss Antonio Eauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut937010BOOK9910337812503321Management Consultancy and the British State2110365UNINA
