This timely book is based on a large-scale, international study of new management practices and examines the emergence of consultant managers. It breaks new ground in our understanding of this hybrid role, uncovering working practices, identities and occupational dynamics, to shed light on both management and consultancy. It unpacks the changing relationship between external consultants and management to reveal important implications for the future of consultancy. Both private and public sectors are covered, with a focus on managers in large and multinational organisations such as former consultants and those in specialisms such as human resource management who adopt consulting roles. In addition to advancing our understanding of changes in management, this book offers a demystifying view of consultancy as a whole, from one of the largest ever studies of this occupation. 606 $aBusiness consultants 606 $aManagement 615 0$aBusiness consultants. 615 0$aManagement. 676 $a658.4/09 700 $aSturdy$b Andrew$01708166 702 $aWright$b Christopher$g(Christopher Alec), 702 $aWylie$b Nick 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821645003321 996 $aManagement as consultancy$94096978 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00728nam0 2200265 450 001 9911028479903321 005 20250930131338.0 010 $a97888990613333 100 $a20250930d219c----km y0itay50 ba 101 0 $aita 102 $aIT 105 $aa 001yy 200 1 $aNobilitazione dei tessili finissaggio$fFranco Corbani 210 $aNapoli$cProdigi edizioni$d219c 215 $aXI,476 p.$cill.$d30 cm 610 0 $aTessuti 676 $a677$v22$zita 700 1$aCorbani$bFranco$01849031 801 0$aIT$bUNINA$gREICAT$2UNIMARC 901 $aBK 912 $a9911028479903321 952 $a677-COR-1$b256/2025$fSC1 959 $aSC1 996 $aNobilitazione dei tessili finissaggio$94438038 997 $aUNINA
