Abstract
This thesis has been concerned with the diversity in the organizational structure of management consulting firms. The diversity has evolved as an outcome of two decades of dramatic expansion of the consulting industry and its stagnation since 2001 (section 1.1.1). The way in which consultancies are structured has far reaching implications regarding their overall business and employment models (section 1.1.2). In addition, the organizational structure of consultancies has been outside the focus of traditional organization theory research. Little explanation has been offered for the phenomenon of organizational diversity in consulting (section 1.1.3). Therefore, this thesis has investigated the factors accounting for the diversity in the organizational structure of management consulting firms.
