Estimating the Size of National Management Consultancy Markets

Abstract

Abstract In 2018, a research project was initiated by a team connected with the International Council for Management Consulting Institutes to analyse the factors that account for the relative strength of country’s management consulting sector. The results of this project, the Consulting Readiness Index (CRI) were reported in the previous issue of the Management Consulting Journal (Haslam et al, 2018). Since the development of the CRI, further investigation has been conducted to enable the ingredients of the CRI to estimate the financial value of national management consulting markets. This paper describes the approach, the results and the implications.
