12 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This book about cross-border consulting operations was completed at The Research Institute of Industrial Economics (lui) in Stockholm. lui has a long tradition of studying international trade and foreign direct investment. However, previous research has only concerned manufacturing firms, which can be partly explained by the fact that detailed data on other sectors has not been available. The purpose of this book is to analyze several issues related to the international operations of consulting firms (CFs); for example, success factors when tendering for new contracts abroad, the choice between establishing permanent offices and exporting from the home country, knowledge transfer to emerging markets when consulting projects are implemented, the role of development agencies, and the consequences of state-owned CFs competing with private CFs are some of the issues that are investigated. These issues are examined on the basis of theories about consulting firms and services. For the empirical analysis, I use a unique database on individual tender documents submitted by Swedish CFs. To the best of my knowledge, this is the most detailed database on consulting exports and the only one in the world on individual tender documents. The book and research project were possible thanks to the executives at the Swedish CFs who spent many hours filling in hundreds of questionnaires. Among these executives, I would like to express special gratitude to Jonas Belfrage, SWECO International, and David Montgomery, Hifab International, from whom I received insightful comments and with whom I had an endless number of discussions. Constructive comments were also received from Claes Hugo, Swedish Trade Council, Per-Goran Carlsson, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Johan Akerblom and Johnny Andersson, Sida, and Thomas Andersson, OECD. Thanks also to the Swedish Federation of Architects and Consulting Engineers which supported the research project and persuaded its member firms to participate in the project. At lui, the author is grateful to Pontus Braunerhjelm, Magnus Henrekson, Ulf Jakobsson, Lars Oxelheim, Lars Persson, Johan Stennek and Per Thulin for constructive suggestions. In addition, I am thankful to Elisabeth Gustafsson who helped me fit the chapters into a coherent manuscript. Finally, I would like to acknowledge generous financial support from the Marianne and Marcus Wallenberg Foundation. Roger Svensson November, 1999
