description

In this article the external advice sought by small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) is analysed through a survey carried out to evaluate the impact of the work done by consultants and to determine the degree of satisfaction with Spanish consulting firms. We will examine the effect of management consulting firms on SMEs when an external consultant offers the consulting service. Research was carried out into companies that could potentially seek the services of an adviser by asking them if they considered the results of the adviser's project and its quality to be useful.
