The Management Consulting Journal is published twice per year and we're looking for member contributions to the content.
Each issue contains a number of articles and is available to read, or download, from this section of the IC website. If you'd like to contribute then we'd love to hear from you. Please take a look at the guidance documentation below on how to prepare your submission and the editorial processes.
The Journal will:
- Highlight and debate issues pertinent to the management consulting sector and management consulting practice.
- Focus mainly on issues which have practical value, rather than discussing conceptual principles and theory.
- Promote understanding of the management consulting sector and the practice of management consulting.
Volume 7.2 Out Now!
In this issue we feature six papers, with the first three papers being submissions from Masters students as part of an essay competition at their University Students in the MSc Management Consulting (MC) at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam participated in an essay competition in the course Business Ethics in MC, organized together with the Journal. Almost 70 students participated. Their task was to interview a consultant on a moment in their career where their professional ethics was challenged. To do so, students had to apply a jokes-based interview method to reduce social desirability bias (see Bouwmeester 2023). The aim was to get the full story, and to report it well.
The Journal hopes this feature makes a valuable addition to the published research and insight on management consulting practice. We encourage Professors leading MC Masters-level modules in other Universities to see the opportunity for similar submissions in the future. Please contact me to discuss.
