Why are some firms on this page alphabetized and some not? I tried to edit, but I don't know how to get it right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.49.94.240 (talk • contribs)

To change the letter under which an article is categorised, you must edit that article. Specifically, you must pipe the link to "[[Category:Management consulting firms]]" at the bottom of the article. For instance, if you want "Grant Thornton" to appear under the letter T, you would change "[[Category:Management consulting firms]]" to "[[Category:Management consulting firms|Thornton, Grant]]". If you do not pipe the link, the article is automatically alphabetised based on the first letter of the title. For a more detailed description, see this page. -- Black Falcon 03:54, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Far too many self-promoters here[edit]

The majority of the firms listed here are minor, local players at best, and appear to be placed by PR departments or workers. I've started to clean up the category page to reflect the more recognized firms (first and second tier).

Categories are not organised on the basis of "tiers", but rather for the purpose of grouping together related articles. Regardless of whether management consulting firms are minor or major, classifying them in this category is appropriate as it is descriptive. I am reverting most your edits, except those related to Digital Business and Digital intelligence. -- Black Falcon 03:33, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Black Falcon. I'd love the lists to be more comprehensive. Most people interested in this industry know that BCG or McK are American management consultancies. The smaller ones are more interesting and if after some time the lists get too crowded, why not open more subcategories rather that discriminating against the smaller firms?

Some missing firms[edit]

I see here most of the famous Management Consulting firms. but some important ones are missing. for example there is no mention of "Pricewaterhouse Coopers" or IBM. I don't know how to add them to this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Axiomofnochoice (talk • contribs)

Even Ernst & Young is missing! -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.49.90.120 (talk • contribs)

If those firms already have articles, you can add them to this category by typing "Category:Management consulting firms" at the bottom of the article. Firms which do not currently have articles on Wikipedia cannot be categorised. Hope this helps. -- Black Falcon 03:46, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Firms per country?[edit]

what is the intention of "firms per country". I though it should be sorted by country of origin / HQ. International firms can also go into that category. However, some firms (e.g. PWC) are listed in several countries. As most big consultancies have subsidiaries in virtually every country, this would just blow up the lists. However, I didn't want to make an edit as I wasn't sure abou the original intention (I hope I haven't overlooked sth. - I'm more a committed user who does occasional edits than an experienced editor).
