The growing globalization of business and industry in general has led inevitably to the globalization of the leading consulting companies. However, a large portion of the consulting industry is comprised of very small companies and in many cases these are one-person shops, perhaps operating from a spare bedroom at home. This part of the business has grown rapidly since 2000, as legions of well educated, highly qualified and thoroughly experienced executives and professionals were laid-off during corporate downsizing or took early retirement in exchange for an opportunity to work for themselves (Plunket Research, LTD). These professionals in addition to the Gen X talent pool have turned to self-employment as consultants, focusing on their specialties and combining their rolodexes for leads.
