| Abstract: | From the 1950s through the 1970s, companies made increasing use of internal consulting groups (ICGs) as opposed to hiring outside consultants. However, in the 1980s their weak management and organization structures were exposed by intense global competition and merger mania, and they fell from favour. Now, the mega-outsourcing trend has received interest in and use of ICGs, but successful ones follow a new paradigm. They adopt the same management, marketing, and profit principles as outside, autonomous consultants to assure efficiency and independent, focused advice. |
