In this text I review the recent literature covering the main areas of research in the realm of consulting services. The reviewed studies were divided into four categories: a) studies about consulting industry treated as a whole, b) studies about processes and relations inside consulting organizations, c) studies focusing on relations between consulting organizations and their environments and d) studies pertaining to ethical dimension of consulting. The causes of growing popularity of consulting services in the modern world were described, as were characterized the consequences of consulting for isomorphism in public and private organizations.
