Summary	Management Consultancy is a growing sector of economic activity, with high value activities and increasing importance and influence in both public and private sectors globally. It is an aspirational career destination for many MBA students both here and in many other MBA courses. It also provides an alternative career focus for students who are seeking to develop a portfolio career. Those who fall into neither camp are still likely to encounter consultants during their careers, and will need to be able to manage this expensive resource effectively to derive maximum value for money. Consultancy as a process has also evolved into a field of academic study - although serious studies of the industry are less readily available - in what remains a highly secretive industry
