Abstract

Two hypotheses regarding the sources of success in management consulting are investigated using biographical data in a predictive design. The hypotheses deal with: (1) a total life pattern of successful endeavor, and (2) a maximal prior exposure to top management culture. The data only partially support the hypotheses. Rather, the concept of elite-ness motivation seems most adequate to explain the results obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
