Description

This volume explores consultancy at many levels, in different fields and in different countries, including Eastern Europe. The focus is on the ethics of consultants in government, private enterprises, or those who are lobbying large organizations, with an emphasis on Eastern Europe. This book gives readers an insight into just how difficult it can be to behave `properly' in today's consulting world.
