Knowledge transfer is strategically important for general sustainability of business, and this contribution aims to provide some insights into one specific area-the complexity of human resource management in foreign-owned subsidiaries-especially in the light of longitudinal empirical research undertaken in 2011-2013 and 2015-2016.

While other practices or professions trace their roots back several centuries, management consulting is less than 150 years old. However, this sector has made giant strides in the West, especially in the United States, from the 1930s to the present and in Western Europe since the 1950s. Waves of internationalization occurred on both sides of the Atlantic. Expansion got a further boost when Central Europe opened the gates in 1990. With that opening and the World Wide Web, both local and big multinational management consultants stepped up their efforts. Further strides are being made now in the booming Asia-Pacific region. We first explore historical highlights and the key drivers of growth; then briefly analyze service offerings, enduse markets, available statistics, and company profiles. Finally, we probe emerging trends and the contours in this field, a sector that is an amalgam of management practice and a professional service. Our investigation is based on archives, theses, research databanks, association and company data, and our own primary work.Business Economics (2008) 43, 59–68; doi:10.2145/20080408
