现今,对管理咨询人员来说,是前所未有的兴旺时期。传统业务核心和对公司战略的高水平咨询等等的报酬,在美国和遥远的海外已经达到每年一百亿美元,并以每年20％以上的速度递增。系统一体化业务(就如何使用计算机和其他技术以完成所赋予的战略任务给公司提供咨询)可能规模更大,并以一年30％的幅度迅猛扩展。这一切凑在一起的结果:在产业上出现了新的竞争混乱。以前从未有过,各咨询公司相互力图掌握对方的方法,并提出自己的新招。在美国和国外,人们还以异常的贪婪相互挖取对方的委托人。诸如麦金赛和布兹·艾伦之类的老牌公司发现他们的竞争对手是八大会计公司的咨询人员。竞争者们如果对这些人在于什么或明或暗,心中无数,那就会象山崎兄弟一 Today, it is an unprecedented period of prosperity for management consultants. The rewards of traditional business core and high-level consultation on corporate strategy, etc., have reached 10 billion US dollars per year in the United States and distant overseas and are increasing at a rate of more than 20% per year. The system-integrated business, which advises the company on how to use computers and other technologies to accomplish the strategic tasks entrusted to it, may be even larger, expanding at a rate of 30% a year. As a result of all this together, there has been a new competitive chaos in the industry. There have never been any before, and consulting companies are trying to grasp each other’s methods and propose new ones. In the United States and abroad, people also excavate each other’s clients with abnormal greed. Older companies such as McKinsey and Booz Allen found that their competitors were consultants to the Big Eight accounting firms. Competitors are like the Yamasaki Brothers if they think of these people as bright or dark.
