Summary of Findings

  • In this preliminary hour of research, we were not able to find precompiled information on the number of applications that firms in the management consulting industry receive annually broken down by region and by country.
  • However, we found some information on some of the main (individual) management consulting firms. We suggest continuing with the research to provide the number of global applications for the top 10 firms identified in this first hour for 2017-2020, as sampled with Deloitte, as an indicative assumption of the number of global applications to management consulting firms. This information will be presented in the attached spreadsheet. If information on any of the already identified companies is not publicly available, we will substitute with another firm that is also considered "top" and give a justification for choosing it.
