Classification of consulting companies (compiled by the authors) Moreover, there are professional associations of consultants and consulting agencies such as: the Association of Management Consulting Engineers (ACME), the International Council of Management Consulting Institutes (ICMCI) and the European Federation of Management Consultancies Associations (FEACO). Apart from professional consulting associations, there are also organizations where consultants work alongside management educators and professional managers: the European Foundation for Management Development (EFMD); the International Association for Management Development in Dynamic Societies (CEEMAN); the American Management Association (AMA); the Japanese Federation of Management Organizations (ZEN-NOH-REN). The consulting services can also be purchased by managers of private enterprises, executives of state- owned companies and governmental agencies, as well as local authorities' leadership. In addition, the state is a rather significant customer of consulting services. For instance, there is a high demand for consulting on behalf of governmental structures within the framework of public-private partnership in such fields as the construction of infrastructure facilities, housing and communal services, the military-industrial complex, etc. Therefore, the consumers of consulting services can be segmented according to several criteria (Figure 3).
