Management consultanting and investment banking have been held up as industries at the forefront of contemporary globalization. Using an interdisciplinary approach ranging across economics, economic geography, sociology and management studies, Andrew Jones analyses the nature of globalization within business service transnational corporations in these sectors. Using qualitative research with leading business managers, he focuses on the social and cultural nature of “doing” global service business in an era of increasing integration of the world economy.
