Abstract:

For a long time, the point of view on compliance as a set of initiatives aimed at preventing illegal actions dominated. Currently, an extended interpretation of compliance is becoming widespread, which should also cover the ethical aspects of doing business.During the analysis, it was found that ethical standards in consulting were formed simultaneously with the formation of the consultant profession. This allows us to draw a conclusion about the successful century-old practice of implementing ethical codes into the corporate culture of consulting firms. This article is a continuation of the a

Abstract:

Today various countries actively promote business migration programs to bring in more resourceful immigrants, thereby increasing immigration channels for people with physical capital. How to match the right migrants with the right destinations has become a business niche for private agencies. In this article, I analyze the impact of the immigration industry on the immigration process, based on a case study of Taiwanese business immigration. Immigration consultants have facilitated recent Taiwanese business migration by increasing awareness of business migration programs, providing needed assis

Abstract:

When the boards of family firms are active, their properties as groups shape the authority of the chief executive and the quality of advice that directors provide to management. An understanding of the group dynamics of the board and the board-management relationship helps to reach a satisfactory balance between family concerns and company interests. Boards of directors can improve their value to firms and to individual directors by developing a capacity for self-reflection.

Abstract:

Engineering consulting firms, like other knowledge‐based enterprises, take intellectual capital as their most important asset embedded in the organisation. This research aims to analyse the correlation between intellectual capital and business performance. The questionnaire was sent to all Taiwan's engineering consulting firms, and 101 copies were collected. It was found that, among these engineering consulting firms, the structural capital and relational capital show better performance, while human capital has poorer performance. This is especially true for staff education and training. This

Abstract:

This paper analyses the differences in need of women-owned businesses for consulting assistance programmes in each of the four life-cycle stages of the business. Results from 160 women-owned businesses found that women entrepreneurs perceived the need for consulting services differently at each of the life-cycle stages. The firms were each further divided in terms of the type of business (that is, general/opportunistic or technical/craftsman) to see whether this distinction influenced the need for consulting services.

Abstract:

Corporate consulting, or in particular, the field of management consulting, is a business model where clients pay a large firm to come in and address a problem that, ostensibly, the client either cannot solve or does not have the time to do so. The field of corporate consulting firms includes McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, Bain, and what's known as the Big Four firms (The Economist 2013).1 Consultants2 (and the firms in which they reside) are uniquely faced with the paradox of being hired by clients because of their subject matter expertise, yet are expected to solve an organ

Abstract:

Profitability is fundamental for any firm to retain a competitive advantage and facilitate long-term prosperity. The drivers of profitability may depend on the industry, and the path to profit maximisation has been thoroughly discussed in previous research. A common factor included by researchers to determine firm profitability is capital structure. The results on the relationship between capital structure and profitability differ significantly depending on the context of the research. Furthermore, research on capital structure in the management consulting industry seems absent, which has left

One gap was the lack of literature focusing on the industry of professional service firms, like management consultant firms. Another gap was on a standardized management consulting process, a

Abstract:

Decision making is often characterized as the trading-off between means and ends, facilitating a "rational choice". One central argument of this thesis is that the rational actor metaphor is over-emphasized in management theory. Due to the extensive use of this metaphor, problems that do not lend themselves to computation are treated as a residual category composed of judgment, intuition or rules of thumb. As a result of the concentration on well-structured problems, there is a tendency to approach unstructured problems analytically. Management science techniques have therefore had a negligibl

Abstract:

Whilst utilization of management consulting services has become an integral part of the contemporary economy and functioning of many organizations, intangibility leaves clients unable to predict or objectively assess the values created in consulting engagements. According to scholars, attempts to counteract the principal-agent related risks of opportunism and divergent incentives are expected to increase following higher competition, consumer awareness and anticipated increased demand for performance-based pricing. Improved comprehension of means to evaluate consulting services should become i

The volatility of world and especially SA markets have caused investors to adopt a "wait and see" approach as to investing in large developments. The result was that private sector developments were lagging behind and forced consulting engineers to compete for the available work and inevitably suffer from reduced turnover.

Background: Family firms have a strong impact on the world’s well-being, in terms of social stability, international wealth creation, and global development. Advisors appear essential to ensure the family firms’ prosperity and success, representing a potential source of advantage. There are several types of advisors working for family firms. Our study focuses on formal advisors (i.e. professionals, legally hired and paid by family firms), that either provide process or content advisory. Process advisors focus more on family dynamics and processes (e.g. relational and emotional aspect), while c
