Abstract
The amorphous nature of management consulting coupled with the premium it commands in the market, lends itself to scepticism around value it brings to the client. Using popular measures of value, this paper attempts to provide a framework within which thoughts around this problem can be structured and hence, articulated. For this purpose, we apply the 'risk-return theory for investment' articulation on a management consulting problem and come up with a model that charts out the essentials that such an articulation should contain.
