In a time of unprecedented change and disruption, the role of business consultants is more important than ever, as organizations seek out advice and guidance on how to overcome the myriad complex challenges they face and improve business performance.<\/p>\n

The consulting services sector has expanded at a relatively fast pace in the last several years despite the COVID-19 pandemic. This trend is expected to continue over the coming years, with industry revenue forecast to grow by an annualized rate of 2.6% over the five years to 2027, to $789.7 billion, according to Ibis World.<\/p>\n

In this edition of the Library Newsletter we offer a selection of resources to help users better understand the consulting industry, including the broad range of career opportunities it offers to MBA graduates. In 2022, 91 percent of employers from the consulting industry said they intended to hire MBAs.<\/p>\n
