Review

This book adds a great deal to the study of consulting. It makes consistent and strong arguments, backed up by a solid empirical base, for a process-based approach to consulting work and to boundaries and knowledge flow within it. Management Learning An important contribution to the practice and research of consulting. There are rich descriptions, a framework that organizes the findings including surfacing interesting inconsistencies and gaps, and intriguing suggestion about future enquiries. Chris Argyris, the James Conant Professor of Education and Organizational Behavior Emeritus at Harvard University
