| Tiivistelmä: | This special issue was chosen since editors had a feeling that, in studies of management consultancy, the client had been neglected or inadequately portrayed. Still, as can be seen, the extent of this neglect may have been overestimated, the size and the quality of the response to the call for papers suggest that this view was shared by many others and that a wave of client-focused research is now underway. This introductory essay begins to set out the nature of this neglect and speculates on why the client has not played a more significant role in research. The ways in which the client has been conceived in the literature is described, and the article discusses how this portrayal has evolved, turning to the articles that make up the special issue and pointing to possible areas of future research in this area. |
