Management Consulting Journal

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 8.1 Out Now!

As well as providing a platform for accomplished researchers, the Journal gives a voice to post graduate students' research and writing. In the last issue we featured three papers from students at Vrije Universiteit, Netherlands. We are delighted to open this issue with three papers from post graduate students at Audencia Business School, France. These are followed by another student paper, this time from Durham University Business School, UK. Professors and educators who are keen to see their students' work included in the Journal, please contact me directly.

Also in this issue we look at the subjects of governance and ethics in consulting. We learn about the relationship between the computer and the consulting industry. And we conclude with a reflection on life as an international consultant.
