Abstract
In the previous chapter, we argued that deals between buyers and sellers of management advisory services could be explained as out-comes of three dimensional constructions of needs for particular services and trust for particular service suppliers. Thus, pressures in the three parallel dimensions - the institutional-, organizational- and local dimension - construct particular characteristics of the service, the market and the buyer. Put another way, the understanding of why a particular deal is made in a certain way with a certain content cannot be isolated to negotiations between two business parties. Instead, this has to be understood as outcomes of interacting mechanisms in the noted dimensions. The aim of this final chapter is to specify what these mechanisms consist of and how to say something of what we can learn from this book about how MAS provided by external suppliers are brought into organizations.
