Abstract:
BackgroundAnti-melanoma-differentiation-associated gene-5 antibody (MDA5) associated dermatomyositis is associated with rapidly progressive interstitial lung disease (RP-ILD), high mortality, and progression despite aggressive immunosuppression. Extra corporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), as bridge to recovery or bridge to transplantation and lung transplantation offer potentially lifesaving therapy for MDA5 RP-ILD but their roles are unclear, and its use in practice is often debated[1-4].ObjectivesWe systematically reviewed the clinical outcomes of patients with MDA5 RP-ILD receiving ECMO and/or lung transplantation.MethodsOvid Medline, Embase and CINAHL were searched (inception to Jan 2023) using keywords to identify studies of ECMO and lung transplantation in MDA5 RP-ILD. We included English language studies in adults with MDA5 RP-ILD requiring ECMO and/or lung transplantation. Review was prospectively registered on PROSPERO (CRD42022355450).ResultsThe sixteen identified manuscripts reported outcomes for 33 patients with serological evidence of MDA5 (14 case reports, 2 case series). Most presented with respiratory symptoms, classic dermatomyositis cutaneous features, were amyopathic and had pulmonary radiological ground glass opacifications. Time to clinical diagnosis was usually less than 3 months from symptom onset, with rapid clinical deterioration from severe symptoms requiring hospitalisation to institution of mechanical ventilatory support within 2 weeks. Combination multi-modal aggressive induction immunosuppressants (corticosteroid, cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, tofacitinib, rituximab and/or immunoglobulin) was used in 15/16. ECMO was used in 32 patients (Figure1): as a bridge to recovery in 16, and a bridge to transplantation in 16. ECMO used as a bridge to recovery had poor outcomes (15/16 deceased, 94%) mainly due to withdrawal of care. ECMO used as bridge to transplantation had an 87.5% survival rate (14/16), with MDA5 disease-free remission for up to 12 years using standard induction transplant immunosuppressants.ConclusionIn refractory MDA5 RP-ILD, early consideration of lung transplantation is essential. The findings do not support ECMO as bridge to recovery given its high mortality rate. ECMO as bridge to transplantation provided excellent patient survival and should be considered as potentially lifesaving.References[1]Mehta P, Hoyles RK, Gunawardena H, Gooptu B, Chaudhuri N, Heightmann MJ, et al.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the determinants of success of the client-consultant relationship from the consultant's point of view. Ten consultants from various fields (e.g. change management, information technology, etc.) based in the province of Quebec in Canada were interviewed. They were asked to comment on issues relating to their roles in the consultancy project, expectations, and the determinants of success of the client–consultant relationship. Interview data were analysed using an interpretive frame. The research findings reveal that consultants perceive their contribution and role positively and perceive themselves as change agents and knowledge transmitters. Trust, active communication, and shared feedback were identified as the major determinants of success of the client–consultant relationship. The results support and help advance earlier research findings in the management consulting field. Consultants are conscious that a long-term relationship built on trust, active communication, and shared feedback, identified as major determinants of success in the client–consultant relationship, is essential. The qualitative findings of the study add to, and help support, earlier research findings on consultants' perception of their roles and contributions within client organisations.

Abstract:
Background/Objectives: This study will identify social networks and consultant capacity concepts to verify that social networks are important factors and study whether consultant capacity and social networks influence consulting use.Methods/Statistical analysis: The subjects of the study can be companies that have consulted consulting services of SMBs, and the samples were analyzed by conducting a questionnaire survey on more than 240 SMBs that have consulted consulting services in Korea. The survey consisted of 30 questions including 10 demographic items, and Likert 5-point scale was used. In the empirical analysis, descriptive analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, structural model analysis, and adjustment effect test were analyzed by AMOS 22.0 using SPSS 22.0.Findings: Studies have shown that first, the knowledge of consultants was shown to have a positive effect on the social network. Second, the ability of consultants was found to have a positive effect on social networks. Third, the attitude of consultants was found to have a positive effect on social networks. It is analyzed that the attitude of the consultant is expressed in personal feelings and that a strong network can be formed through a sincere attitude. Fourth, social networks have been found to have a positive effect on consultancy utilization. It means that the utilization of consulting can be improved through the formation of an active social network. Fifth, analyzing the differences in the path between the gender, it was found to be affected by the Moderating effect. In the case of men, consultant knowledge and attitudes have derived positive results in social networks and consulting use. And in the case of women, the ability of consultants became more active in consulting with social networks. Therefore, the difference in the effect between male and female was confirmed statistically.Improvements/Applications: In this study, it was confirmed that there was a difference between men and women when the consultant's ability affected the consulting utilization rate. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct a detailed study of measures to supplement the gender gap in the competence of consultants in SMB consulting.

Abstract:
We are familiar with the idea that the distribution of consultants should be guided by ‘norms' supported by the College. Current norms have been derived from what is (or rather was at the time), not from knowledge of how consultants spend their time, still less on the basis of estimates of morbidity or demand. As Russell noted, a norm of one consultant for 70,000 people was developed using simple arithmetic when there were 700 consultants available to forty-nine million people. From this starting point, one consultant to 60,000 or 40,000 or 25,000 people suggests the possibility of an improved service, but it cannot be assumed that the service is better simply because more people are providing it. Evaluation of the consultant's contribution to a service requires, among other things, knowledge of what the consultant actually does with his time.

Abstract:
AbstractThe academic literature on management consulting raises many questions about the ethics of management consulting. The uncertain, emergent, and often socially constructed nature of management consultancy knowledge limits the scope both for regulating the industry in the manner of the established professions, and for evaluating management consultants’ work objectively. The character of management consultants is therefore a central issue in how far clients and other stakeholders can trust them. This paper considers three questions, using Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics as a guide. These are, first, ‘What is the function of a management consultant?’, second, ‘How should a management consultant act in order to be a good management consultant?’, and third, ‘Where does the boundary lie between the ethical responsibilities of the management consultant and those of the client and other stakeholders?’ Aristotelian virtue ethics are valuable in answering these questions. Their focus on character is well suited to the distinct ethical problems of management consulting. Aristotle’s overarching concern with human flourishing, and an ethically balanced approach towards benefiting from the good things to which a virtuous person may aspire, has more promise as an influence on consultants’ behaviour than the lists of prohibitions that typify codes of ethical practice in the industry. Aristotle’s call for leaders to habituate their people to ethical behaviour should be heard by the leaders of management consultancy firms. In accordance with Aristotle’s philosophy, this paper proposes a positive target at which management consultants can aim in shooting for ethical practice.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to test the effect of components such as behavioral-focused strategies, natural reward strategies, and constructive thought pattern strategies that constitute consultant self-leadership on job satisfaction. In addition, the effect of self-efficacy on job satisfaction and the mediating role between self-leadership components of self-efficacy and job satisfaction are tested. To this end, a survey was conducted on 240 consultants with more than two consulting records within the last two years. As a result, it was found that the consultant's self-leadership components and self-efficacy affected job satisfaction, and the partial mediating role of self-efficacy was confirmed in the relationship between the consultant's self-leadership components and job satisfaction. The meaning of this study is that the research model for consultants was presented through research on the mediating effect of self-efficacy and the relationship between the consultant's self-leadership components and job satisfaction, and the fact that the consultant's self-leadership is important to strengthen consulting performance. This study provides useful information on what characteristics of consultants should be strengthened to improve consulting skills in the future, and through this, it can contribute to expansion into research to understand the characteristics of consultants' behavior such as innovative behavior and deviant behavior.

Abstract:
In the continuing debate about the role of the Clinical Ethics Consultant in performing clinical ethics consultations, it is often assumed that consultants should operate within ethical and legal standards. Recent scholarship has focused primarily on clarifying the consultant's role with respect to the ethical standards that serve as parameters of consulting. In the following, however, I wish to address the question of how the ethics consultant should weigh legal standards and, more broadly, how consultants might weigh authoritative directives, whether legal, institutional, or professional, against other normative considerations. I argue that consultants should reject the view that authoritative directives carry exclusionary reason for actions and, further, ethicists should interpret directives as lacking any moral weight qua authoritative directive. I then identify both implications and limitations of this view with respect to the evolving role of the ethics consultant in an institutional setting, and in doing so propose the kinds of considerations the ethicist should weigh when presented with an authoritative directive.

AbstractObjectives: A patient's suicide is arguably the event of most concern to consultant psychiatrists. Given the rise in the rate of suicide in the Republic of Ireland, the impact it has should not be underestimated. The aims of the study were: to assess the effect a patient's suicide has on a consultant's personal and professional life; to identify what factors modulated or exacerbated their response to the suicide; and to highlight what was shown to be beneficial in coping with the aftermath.Methods: Following a literature review, a questionnaire from a previous study was chosen. This was sent to 74 consultants working in the Munster province. It asked consultants to recall their ‘most distressing’ suicide and their response to it. The results were analysed using quantitative methodology. A further literature review was conducted on the issues raised.Results: The questionnaire response rate was 67.5%. A total of 80% of consultants had a patient commit suicide under their care. In the case of 27.5%, consultants said that their personal lives had been affected by the suicide and 32.5% said that their professional lives had been affected. The majority of those affected were recently appointed consultants. Consultants' peers and team were significant sources of support, as were team meetings. A total of 57.5% of consultants said that their management of future suicidal patients had changed following the suicide.Conclusions: A proportion of consultants experience negative effects in their lives as a consequence of patient suicide. However the support of consultant peers, the team and team meetings may help in the aftermath.

Abstract:
Research Question (RQ): Does the company need an external consultant to make organizational changes? Purpose: We want to examine the role of external consultants in introducing organizational change in an organization. Method: In our article, we will use: systematic review guidelines, integrative study review guidelines, meta-analysis guidelines, and literature review scope guidelines. We selected the literature through the main academic bibliographic databases Web of science, Elsevier, Jstor, Emerald. We used the following keywords to search for relevant literature: Organizational Change, Consultant, Management, Introduction of changes, Process, Consultancy industry. Results: While the added value that consultants can add to a company has long attracted the attention of management, critical interest in the consulting process is relatively new. However, the growing interest in consultants has also brought about a growing critical debate on the justification for hiring consultants. In our article, we will present the pros and cons of hiring external consultants. Organization: The organization always needs sober thinking or needs an external consultant when introducing changes. Society: Progress and success in the organization can be achieved without expensive external experts and always new approaches, simply by using "common sense". With this approach, we achieve that as many organizations as possible are dedicated to the implementation of this common sense in their processes. Originality: The article highlights the key elements that need to be considered when introducing organizational changes in order to avoid costly external consultants. Limitations / further research: The basis of the article is the theoretical findings of world authors from the studied field, the results of empirical research would be interesting.

Abstract:
The development of the knowledge economy is expected to require considerable change on the part of knowledge-intensive organisations and their employees. The emergent category of knowledge worker is considered to challenge many of the key features of the standard employment relationship, leading some commentators to claim that knowledge workers are the vanguards of a new employment relationship and new organisational arrangements. As archetypal knowledge workers, consultants are perceived to be representative of these changes and are considered to benefit substantially from the value of their intellectual capital and their employer's dependence upon their tacit knowledge - which is expected to enable them to exercise substantial control over their working arrangements and to operate as socalled 'free workers' (Knell, 2000). However, the free worker hypothesis has not been sufficiently validated by empirical research or tested in different national contexts. This study therefore explores the main propositions of the free worker hypothesis and considers the impact that employer management strategies and client demands have upon the free worker hypothesis. In addition, the study also introduces an international dimension to the analysis by examining the extent to which the free worker model is shaped by national context, through an Anglo-Dutch comparison of consultancy. The data collected for this study provides little support for the notion of the free worker. The results reveal that knowledge workers are able to exercise substantial discretion over their working arrangements, but that their freedom and ability to achieve high levels of temporal and locational flexibility is constrained by their own professional aspirations, their employer's management strategies and their position in a triangulated employment relationship. Through the identification of international differences in consultancy and the employment model, the data also demonstrates that the knowledge worker and these factors are shaped by environmental factors. The empirical data collected by this study therefore provides little support for the free worker hypothesis or its universal validity and instead highlights the need for the development of a more hybrid-based employment model to analyse the knowledge worker employment relationship.

rescon es una consultora pensada para evitar o solucionar problemas de propiedad común, que afecten a inmobiliarias, comunidades y gestores de negocios inmobiliarios, en un mercado donde hay clientes insatisfechos y empoderados para legalizar sus requerimientos, lo cual conlleva a los oferentes a proteger su marca, en una ciudad donde la escasez de espacio incrementa la cantidad de proyectos en comunidad (ver anexo n°17). Agregar valor a los activos de los clientes, disminuir costos ocultos, evitar compensaciones y mejorar la imagen de marca, son algunos de los beneficios que el grupo objetivo podrá obtener, mediante una propuesta fundamentada en compromiso y profesionalismo. Con experiencia y know-how, la empresa responderá a una nueva necesidad, siendo pioneros en un incipiente mercado estimado de MM$1.100, donde obtener una participación del 20% al quinto año en la Región Metropolitana es factible, ya que el servicio no existe y se trata de un sector específico con escasos profesionales. Para cumplir con los objetivos de la compañía, se ha diseñado un plan de marketing multisegmento para proyectos en gestación y en marcha, que ofrece rapidez y profesionalismo a un precio competitivo, a través de una fuerza de ventas cercana y especializada. El modelo contempla una estructura de costos basada en colaboradores externos en función de las ventas, con tecnologías de gestión de clientes, y un centro de operaciones con una ubicación estratégica, que permitirá entregar un servicio de calidad optimizando el tiempo. El capital humano, su formación continua, y las relaciones con las instituciones que validan la información de la industria, son los factores críticos para el éxito de un proyecto fundamentado en el conocimiento, la empatía de sus personas y la calidad de servicio. Evaluado a 8 años, para llevar a cabo el negocio se requiere una inversión inicial de MM$30, la cual se estima recuperar al cuarto año de operación. Con bajos costos fijos y bajas barreras de salida, los flujos del modelo arrojan una TIR de 34,3%, mientras que el VAN es de MM$28 con una tasa de descuento de un 17,9%.

Abstract:

Radiation oncology has evolved as an advanced tool in treating chronic diseases from a mere experimental application of X-rays. These advances were made possible due to combined efforts of physicians, clinicians and information technology professionals. The Radiation Oncologist depends on clinical and information technology disciplines to solve complex health conditions. This creates demand for consulting work for information technology professionals who can design, customize and deploy software applications that are used in radiation oncology departments at hospitals. Hri-Tech Consultants, LLC a consulting firm, intends to offer consulting services to medium sized hospitals in Orange County area in design, development and deployment of radiation oncology software applications. The firm’s unique strength in Radiation Oncology workflow coupled with Lean Six Sigma and ITIL processes will be rarely matched by other providers in the target market.

Abstract:
This doctoral research focuses on the exploration of the working lives of ‘management consultants’ with an emphasis on how consultants make sense of, interact with and construct their working lives. From a theoretical perspective, this research is situated within the critical management consulting literature that views consulting as a social phenomenon. In this study, sensemaking perspective has been used as a conceptual framework to explore the processes of management consultants’ sensemaking. This research employs a qualitative, interpretive, social‐constructionist perspective by which to understand the lived experiences of management consultants. The core methodology adopted in this study is life history research. In-depth life history interviews were carried out with research participants from leading consulting firms in the UK and Denmark. These interviews also included a visual inquiry based on the photographs/drawings generated by participants. The research findings highlight the multidimensional nature of the lives of ‘management consultants’ and their processes of sensemaking. Three prominent sensemaking processes emerged as part of the research findings: first, the use of differentiation/comparison with other non-consulting professions (outgroup) by management consultants to make sense of their work by equating challenges, downplaying deficiencies and glorifying the paybacks of consulting profession; second, the use of narrative presentations of 'projects’ that point towards iterative cycles of action and interpretation; and, third, the use of ‘metaphors’ to define their practice and open up ways of ‘seeing’ and intervening.

Abstract:
Organizations constantly face the challenge of identifying, adopting and implementing necessary changes in order to stay competitive. An option for executing these changes is to contract an external management consultant with experience and expertise in organizational development. Our aim is to find if and how certain demographic variables of management consultants’ background affect how they identify an organizational development problem. This thesis is focused on management consultants within organizational development, and their responses when presented with a laboratory business simulation. There are limited generalization parallels to other consultancy areas and situations beyond the specific area of organizational development. We conducted a descriptive experimental study with 83 responding management consultants. Participants answered a questionnaire in combination with the presented business simulation, regarding how they identify problems based on their personal background. The data set was compiled statistically and rendered in IBM SPSS. Furthermore the answers were analyzed using multiple regression analysis and single correlation test statistics. We found that Management consultants showed a preference towards external environment as major contributing factor to the problem(s) at hand. Furthermore we found a positive relation to “Age” and “School”, and negative relation to “Work-life experience”. Consequently, management consultants do differ in their problem identification approach based on their personal background. With greater understanding of how management consultant differ, clients and supplier of management consulting services can better align consultants with organizational problem(s), in order to generate better synergy effect.

Abstract:
This research compares the ethical values of public relations and political public relations practitioners. The study hypothesizes that a difference exists in the two groups' approach to ethical decision-making.A Q-study was completed by twenty-three midwest members of the Public Relations Society of America and the American Association of Political Consultants. The results identified two groups: one, a group of "communitarians" who relied on personal standards for ethical decision-making but believed the community-the public and the mediainfluenced those standards; and two, a group of "individualists" who relied on personal standards for ethical decision-making and were not influenced by the public, media, religion or law.This research determined that a significant difference did not exist in approach to ethical decision-making between political public relations and traditional public relations practitioners. All of the participants relied primarily on personal standards when making ethical decisions and no participants put personal advancement or pragmatism ahead of ethical decision-making.

Abstract:
In this article we present and analyse the results of three related experimental studies: (1) the use of statistics in a sample of mathematics education doctoral theses in Spain; (2) the attitudes towards data analysis and statistical consultancy by doctoral students in education; (3) the future statistics consultants perception of their competence for consultancy work. We also describe a project aimed to implement two didactical devices, which would improve the researchers' attitudes and use of statistics and the future consultants' competence. This project would serve to link together prospective consultants and clients within a Statistical Consultancy Unit at the Faculty of Education.

Abstract:
Defining product and service quality in most industries is relatively simple. However, defining service quality in management consulting is sometimes more complex. Management consultants help clients solve challenging issues and productively manage the organization. A significant research gap lies in the need for more clarity regarding the distinguishing factors between successful and unsuccessful consultants in their ability to assist clients in achieving their goals. Furthermore, the essential power consultants need to drive clients to success remains undefined.To bridge the research gap, we used analysis in two phases. The purpose of the first phase, the qualitative research, was to examine the power bases of the consultants. Forty consultants were interviewed, 10 of them from abroad, with the help of a semi-structured interview. The formulated research question was: what are the most common power bases that the consultants have, and how do they affect the relationship with the client? From all the interviews, two themes were found –Knowledge and identity. Furthermore, the most valuable power base from the consultants' view is the Expert power. This finding deviates from the literature, which typically references three power bases for influence and other factors.To examine whether the consultants' perception is relevant and correct, the second phase, quantitative research, examined the effect of power bases on the clients' self-efficacy and managerial stress. The study aimed to answer the question of whether there is a relation between the source of the consultant's main power base, emphasizing Referent or Expert power, and the level of managerial stress and self-efficacy of their client. One hundred clients participated in testing the correlation between the power bases of the consultants, self-efficacy, and management stress of the clients. With the help of regressions and statistical models, it was found that there is a significant correlation between the consultant’s Expert power and the client’s self-efficacy, while managerial stress moderates their correlation.The combination of the two research phases, qualitative and quantitative, reveals that Expert Power is crucial in boosting clients' self-efficacy, except when they're under high managerial stress. This paper provides readers with current insights following Mosonyi et al three different sources of power focusing on the Knowledge aspect. Furthermore, using French& Raven social power taxonomy combined with the Rahim Leader Power Inventory (RLPI). This research contributes to the existing literature by emphasizing a key power base and shedding new light about power dynamics in management consulting, additionally; it offers practical benefits by enhancing consulting outcomes and influencing on both client's and consultants' perspectives.

Abstract:
The target date for achieving Sustainable Development Goal 5, one of the 2030 UN Agenda [Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)], is fast approaching. Studies have shown that the construction industry has a role in achieving many SDGs, including Goal 5 in developing countries. However, studies regarding achieving Goal 5 (Gender Equality) in the industry regarding female consultancy participation are scarce and complexly interrelated because of societal problems and divergence. Thus, this study aims to investigate factors hindering gender equality in construction consultants’ career growth and suggest measures to encourage more female construction consultants through policy to achieve Goal 5 in Nigeria. The study adopted face-to-face data collection via a qualitative mechanism. This is an ongoing study. The first phase covered Lagos, Nigeria, and adopted a thematic approach to analyse the collected data. The perceived major encumbrances facing Nigerian construction consultants regarding gender equality are religious/cultural, family/marital, marginalised identities, microaggressions, absence of career advancement, absence of mentors/role models, consultancy fees discrimination (gender pay gap), bullying and discrimination, and lax equity and inclusion. Achieving Goal 5 will be a mirage if these issues are not addressed. Thus, the study recommended measures to motivate females to study construction-related programmes and employment opportunities, including consultancy services slots through policy mechanisms to achieve Goal 5. As part of the implications, the study identifies major hindrances facing female Nigerian construction consultants and proffers measures to improve gender equality to achieve Goal 5.
