I should like to explore the role of the consultant based upon an analysis of two cases of a particular consultant group. Obviously one cannot generalize very much from such restricted data.

It marks the first stage of a long-range program whose ultimate goal is the development of appropriate models to understand the client-consultant relationship and its impact on organizational change and development.
