Because this is a relatively new development, there are few sourcebooks on the craft of research consulting. To help bridge this gap, this issue provides a window into the way research is practiced by experienced consultants. In this opening article, the culture of consulting is discussed in relation to the culture of academic social science. Different conceptions of applied research and contrasting discourses are highlighted. Then, I show how each of the authors in this issue addresses these differences, which are barriers to communication. As bridge builders, the authors demonstrate the value of social science theory and methodology in solving applied problems in several domains.

An event study analysis of 118 client firms that publicly announced the hiring of management consulting firms finds that the stock market, on average, responded positively and significantly to the engagement news. Regression analysis further reveals that the stock market reaction tended to be the highest for client firms that had the highest profitability levels. In addition, the stock market reaction to the hiring announcement was not related to the consultant's brand-name reputation; clients engaging the most reputable consultants (e.g. McKinsey & Company, Bain, Boston Consulting Group, Booz-Allen Hamilton) did not realize any different market response than those clients that employed the other consultants. Overall, most client firms that publicly announced the hiring of management consultants experienced a rise in their market value and those that had the highest financial profitability realized the highest increase.

We sketch an outline of an alternative approach to consulting practice, based not on knowledge, but on knowing, the socially situated activity whereby knowledge is applied and created. Borrowing from the practice-based theories of organizational knowledge and knowing, we explore how key aspects of consulting practice—problem solving, participation and knowledge transfer—might be handled differently when we give primacy to practice.

To describe this situation some coined the term “consultocracy,” assuming that the emergence of the NPM created a growing demand for business management expertise in government circles that allowed consultants to penetrate the state and become powerful policy actors. Rather than taking these matters as given, I ask how has it been possible for consultants to become (or not) influential players in the process of administrative reform. It is argued that Britain, and to a lesser extent Canada, have been more likely than France to give rise to a “consultocracy” when implementing NPM reforms in the 1980s because in these two countries, management consultancy emerged earlier and is more strongly developed than in France because of its historical link with accountancy. Whereas French consultants only began to enter public administration in the 1980s, British and Canadian consultants have been involved in the last 30 years in the construction of the state's management capacities. Through their participation in these institution-building processes, they established networks of expertise with the state and acquired the experience of work in government. Over the years, this created opportunities for consultants to make their voices heard in the inner circles of decision-making and made possible the exercise of influence that they are now said to have on policy.", "publicationTitle": "Governance", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "1998", "volume": "11", "issue": "3", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "319-356", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-07-14T17:47:41Z", "dateModified": "2012-02-18T17:16:52Z" } }, { "key": "DQ2TWGUN", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 49554, "name": "Policy Consultants", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/policy_consultants", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/49554/items/DQ2TWGUN", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/policy_consultants/items/DQ2TWGUN", "type": "text/html" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 229760, "username": "amigone", "name": "Andrea Riccardo Migone", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/amigone", "type": "text/html" } } }, "creatorSummary": "May and Geva-May", "parsedDate": "2005", "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "DQ2TWGUN", "version": 1, "itemType": "bookSection", "title": "Policy maps and political feasibility", "creators": [ { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Peter J", "lastName": "May" }, { "creatorType": "author", "firstName": "Iris", "lastName": "Geva-May" } ], "abstractNote": "", "bookTitle": "Thinking like a policy analyst: Policy analysis as a clinical profession", "series": "", "seriesNumber": "", "volume": "", "numberOfVolumes": "", "edition": "", "date": "2005", "publisher": "Palgrave Macmillan", "place": "London", "originalDate": "", "originalPublisher": "", "originalPlace": "", "format": "", "pages": "127–151", "ISBN": "", "DOI": "", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-10-05T04:51:33Z", "dateModified": "2011-10-05T04:53:19Z" } }, { "key": "QKKD3P3A", "version": 1, "library": { "type": "group", "id": 49554, "name": "Policy Consultants", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/policy_consultants", "type": "text/html" } } }, "links": { "self": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/49554/items/QKKD3P3A", "type": "application/json" }, "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/groups/policy_consultants/items/QKKD3P3A", "type": "text/html" }, "up": { "href": "https://api.zotero.org/groups/49554/items/67TASPWB", "type": "application/json" } }, "meta": { "createdByUser": { "id": 85415, "username": "mi9cal", "name": "", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/mi9cal", "type": "text/html" } } }, "lastModifiedByUser": { "id": 229760, "username": "amigone", "name": "Andrea Riccardo Migone", "links": { "alternate": { "href": "https://www.zotero.org/amigone", "type": "text/html" } } }, "numChildren": 0 }, "data": { "key": "QKKD3P3A", "version": 1, "parentItem": "67TASPWB", "itemType": "note", "note": "

La vague du nouveau management public a pris son élan dans l'idée qu'il fallait améliorer la prestation des services à la population. Certains auteurs comme Metcalfe ont souligné que l'État négligeait alors la gestion en favorisant le « conseil stratégique » (policy advice). Il était bien vu de s'intéresser aux politiques et non à la gestion. Après des décennies passées à rechercher plus d'efficience, a-t-on poussé trop loin dans l'autre direction? Les administrations publiques ont-elles la capacité d'élaborer des politiques publiques? Les personnes chargées de le faire ont-elles reçu la formation nécessaire? Cette note de recherche présente la partie québécoise du sondage pancanadien sur la capacité en politiques publiques. Ce rapport complète l'analyse en présentant les résultats obtenus par sondage auprès de fonctionnaires québécois.

These range from complex computer models and cost benefit analysis through simple checklists and decision trees. In the last decade, many governments have established formal policy assessment systems to harness these tools in order to facilitate more evidence-based policy making. These tools are potentially widely available, but to what extent are they used by policy makers and what becomes of the evidence that they generate? This paper addresses these questions by studying the empirical patterns of tool use across 37 cases in three European countries and the European Commission. It uses a simple classification of tools into advanced, formal and simple types. It finds that even when tools are embedded in policy assessment systems, their use is differentiated and on the whole very limited, in particular when it comes to more advanced tools. It then explores these patterns from contrasting theoretical perspectives to shed light on why, when and how different policy assessment tools are used in the policy process.", "publicationTitle": "Policy Sciences", "publisher": "", "place": "", "date": "2008", "volume": "41", "issue": "4", "section": "", "partNumber": "", "partTitle": "", "pages": "335-355", "series": "", "seriesTitle": "", "seriesText": "", "journalAbbreviation": "", "DOI": "10.1007/s11077-008-9071-1", "citationKey": "", "url": "", "accessDate": "", "PMID": "", "PMCID": "", "ISSN": "", "archive": "", "archiveLocation": "", "shortTitle": "The use and non-use of policy appraisal tools in public policy making", "language": "", "libraryCatalog": "", "callNumber": "", "rights": "", "extra": "", "tags": [], "collections": [], "relations": {}, "dateAdded": "2011-10-05T04:25:39Z", "dateModified": "2011-10-05T04:25:57Z" } } ]
