Can consultants merge?

This PhD project aims at understanding the role of the identity of consultants in mergers between IT consulting and management consulting firms.

The study focuses on:

  • How differences between the work of consultants and the subjectivity of consultants are produced as part of the reproduction of consulting identities,
  • How the reproduction of consultant identities are disciplined by consulting practices and 3) how consulting identities normalize the consultants attitude toward integration in a merger.
