ABSTRACT
An examination of management consultancy reveals that there is no consensus corporately on what each aspect of consultancy is made up of with regard to the breakdown of services. This chapter attempts to review the growth of management consulting by examining the evolution of service delivery in the post-war period. 'From Efficiency Engineering to Strategy', is an attempt at describing, in but a few words, an evolutionary process within consultancy that witnessed a growing acceptance of the role of consultants at all levels within client organisations. The fields of business strategy and management are extremely broad, and a period of five and a half decades of change is a significant task in its own right in terms of providing an explanation of what was going on. The multidivisional form of organisation, pioneered in the United States, became a growing feature of large-scale businesses.
