Conclusions. 330 $aThis 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. 606 $aBusiness consultants 606 $aManagement 606 $aGreat Britain$xHistory 606 $aEurope$xHistory$x1492- 606 $aBusiness Consulting 606 $aManagement 606 $aHistory of Britain and Ireland 606 $aHistory of Modern Europe 615 0$aBusiness consultants. 615 0$aManagement. 615 0$aGreat Britain$xHistory. 615 0$aEurope$xHistory$x1492-. 615 14$aBusiness Consulting. 615 24$aManagement. 615 24$aHistory of Britain and Ireland. 615 24$aHistory of Modern Europe. 676 $a001.068 700 $aWeiss$b Antonio E$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0937010 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337812503321 996 $aManagement Consultancy and the British State$92110365 997 $aUNINA
