Tiivistelmä
The global field of management consultancy is in a cusp of disruption, the Finnish economy is still in downturn, the demands on the Finnish SME corporation sector’s international growth are increasing. There are two megatrends globalization and digitalization shaping the business world as we know it. Networks are becoming more and more important in getting the right knowledge and knowhow, in order to gain business growth and succeed in global competition.
These changes create great pressure on SME consultancy businesses, especially working in an international setting. The questions that growth seeking consultancy companies should ask are; what needs to be done in order to become a successfully growing global top player in the consultancy market and how is it done? Therefore this thesis is looking to answer a specific question of “What are the business benefits of networked business consultancy for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises?”.
To answer the main question in this paper, previous academic studies, a market research and Fintra Ltd. business case are used. However difficult the business landscape might be, there is definitely room for new and agile ways of conducting successful consultancy business and serve SME clients globally, as can be seen from the results concluded.
