本文讨论了管理咨询的主要社会学观点。它确定了两种广义的社会学方法--制度和认知文化方法以及关系和结构方法--并借鉴了管理咨询在创建和传播管理咨询方面的几个描述。下一节讨论了社会网络理论所提供的管理咨询市场关系和结构的细节。最后，考察了网络理论对“社会资本”、“显赫”和“声誉”的解释。
This article discusses the major sociological perspectives on management consulting. It identifies two broadly defined sociological approaches—institutional and cognitive-cultural approaches and relational and structural approaches—and draws on several accounts of management consultancy in creating and diffusing management consultancy. The next section discusses the specifics of market relations and structures in management consultancy that are informed by social network theory. Finally, it examines the network theoretical explanations of ‘social capital’,‘prominence’, and ‘reputation’.
