Chapter Chapter 1 in Strategic Management of Professional Service Firms, 2011, pp 3-15 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract As already mentioned, professional service firms play a major role in today’s economy. They are generally associated with keywords like modern concept of work and service, high turnover and profit rates, but also with unpleasant decisions such as corporate restructuring measures. Hardly any bigger company has never resorted to a professional service provider – in whatsoever form. The reasons can be manifold: the non-existence of own resources or the desire for new external business impulses are just two exemplary causes.
