as a way of categorizing firms and the differences, if any, between the
firms. Explores the firms′ sources of knowledge, knowledge networks,
transfer of knowledge or expertise, and consultant knowledge and skills.
Discusses the implications of the survey and presents an agenda for
action which comprises of future research into the usefulness of the
typologies. Concludes by saying that a more precise instrument is needed
to classify parts of organizations as well as the whole and there is a
need to examine the particular problems of managing a consultancy firm.
