It can be especially difficult to find information on consulting firms.

Entries for consulting firms include: address, web site, number of staff, names of executives, description of activities, and geographic area served. Some entries will include an estimate of annual consulting revenues, but this information is not always available. Some entries also include branch information, listings of workshops, or computer/special services.

Listings are arranged by broad consulting categories. Use the index in volume 2 to look up an entry by company name, geography, or consulting activity.
