Information services to management consultants

Abstract

Management consultants have been described as ‘the people who borrow your watch to tell you what time it is and then walk off with the watch’. But Robert Townsend's refreshing anti‐management text makes equally damaging remarks about directors, advertising, purchasing and management. The Management Consultant Association however, report that in 1972 fee income reached a record £30.3 million.
