Zusammenfassung:Our study presents a research framework derived from critical discourse analysis that is intended to illuminate differences among management consulting methods. We resurrected the strong sense of discourse, that connected to the exercise of power. An exploration of the theoretical foundations of the sub-field of quality process improvement consulting revealed three grand narratives and applied discourses that became sensitizing concepts. The resulting discursive framework offers new insight to discern rhetoric from substance for research in management consulting.
