Management and strategy consulting are interrelated, and some management consultants specialize in strategy consulting. However, there is a clear distinction.

Additionally, strategy consultants are more narrowly focused on a specific industry or business and are typically hired only by large companies, whereas management consultants can apply their expertise to consulting in numerous fields and company sizes.
