Current Research Projects
|
I am currently finishing a book on The Consultancy Business in Historical and Comparative Perspective (which will be published by Oxford University Press). It covers the development of management consulting as a business activity in the major industrialised regions (Europe, North America and Japan) from the late 19th to the early 21st centuries. It is based on extensive archival and documentary research as well as many interviews. During this project, I received funding from many different sources, including a major grant from the Targeted Socio-Economic Research Programme of the European Commission.
I am also collecting additional data for another project which examines the process and outcome of consultancy interventions. It is based on a large number of case studies across a wide range of time periods, industries and countries. This research should eventually lead to another book on “Consulting in Action”. Most recently, I have been looking at the role of consulting firms in the introduction of the multidivisional form of organization in European banks with the help of funding from the Spanish Ministry of Science and Technology and the BBVA Foundation. |
