As the whole environment is changing dramatically and competition is globalizing, corporations face a future hard to predict and control and have a strong desire for more help from outside. Therefore, the consulting industry which satisfies corporations¡¦ demand to solve their problems is growing faster and faster. With the suggestions and recommendations from consulting firms, some corporations really have better performance and become more competitive; however, others do not benefit but get big losses from consulting forms. So we can have a conclusion that solving corporations¡¦ problems from consulting firms is not the only way to choose. Nevertheless, this research hopes to provide corporations and consulting firms with some efficient methods when they are involved in consulting projects.
According to the case study and integrating analysis, the main conclusions of this research are as following:
1. Corporations must understand what they need and measure they own capability before planning to have consulting, and then be able to evaluate if they need to have consulting.
2. When corporations plan and choose consulting firms, they can benefit more by starting from staffs with interpersonal relationship and other corporations¡¦ experiences.
3. In the beginning, corporations and consulting firms should communicate completely with each other. Corporations should insist on their core value and culture and take it as the base of changing to get rid of missing their directions.
4. When facing resistance, corporations should solve problems positively and rely on the consulting firms¡¦ distinctive experiences and competencies of resolving conflicts.
5. Corporations usually find it difficult to evaluate consulting firms¡¦ performances; therefore they often spend more making a decision about consulting firms. But what is important for corporations is taking the results of evaluating consulting projects as the basis of improving to enhance the success of next project. Consequently, corporations should complete performance evaluating of consulting projects in detail; continue using a good model and correct failures and mistakes to promote the performance and value of consulting projects.
