Task, Firm Size, and 0rganizational Structure in Management Consulting: An Empirical Analysis from a Contingengy Perspective

By Michael Graubner

Michael Graubner investigates consultancies' organizational structure in terms of structural differentiation, specialization, centralization, and formalization. He analyzes extensive qualitative and quantitative data obtained during a series of personal interviews in consulting firms with offices in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. The results show that organizational size and to a lesser degree task uncertainty are closely associated with organizational structure.
