This research is important in terms of determining the current situation of strategic decisions made and strategic management processes implemented by managers from the perspective of management consultants, who are stated to have significant contributions to the strategic management process. This research has been designed as a case study from qualitative research designs. Qualitative research is defined as a source of knowledge generation shaped by the researcher's own endeavors and developed to explore the structure and basis of social systems (Özdemir, 2010, s. 326). Case study is a qualitative approach in which the researcher collects in-depth and detailed information about multiple bounded systems in a certain situation or time through observation, interview, document, visual and audio materials, case description or case themes (Creswell, 2018, s. 97). Since the study aimed to collect information on strategic management, purposive sampling technique was preferred. With the guidance of the secretariat of the Management Consultants Association, nine consultants who specialized in strategic management consultancy were contacted. Within the scope of the study, a semi-structured interview form was prepared by referring to the related literature. Semi-structured interviews allow asking the participants the same questions within a flexible framework (Dearnley, 2005, s. 22). The questions were sent to the participants by e-mail with the suggestions and approvals of the secretariat of the Management Consultants Association and a cover letter explaining the study. The data were collected electronically with the participation of management consultants, working on strategic management, who agreed to participate in the research. In order to calculate the reliability of the data, the consensus-disagreement principle proposed by Miles and Huberman (1994) was used. In terms of the reliability of the research, the text was evaluated by two experts. The coding of the two researchers were compared and necessary arrangements were made. The reliability of the consensus correlation coefficient between the two researchers was calculated as 90% using the relevant formula [Consensus/ (Consensus + Disagreement) x 100]. MAXQDA 2023 demo package program was used in the analysis of the research data.
When the findings of the study are examined, it can be claimed that strategic decisions become more important as the organizational structure grows. Because as the organization grows, it becomes more complex and requires strategic decisions. As a result of the study, it was determined that information exchange is important in the strategic decision-making process. Furthermore, it is concluded that senior management makes decisions based on their experience.
It has been determined that organizations mostly analyze competitors and follow technological innovations in environmental analysis. In addition to this, it has been determined that the consultancy service enables the development of the right strategy, adds value to the organization and brings a different perspective. As a result of the participants' opinions, management consultancy makes a significant contribution to strategic decision-making from a different perspective, to see situations that cannot be noticed in the organizational process and to develop appropriate strategies, and to evaluate events more professionally from an outside perspective.
As a result, the viewpoints on which managers and management consultants have in common are more predominant. In the strategic management process, an approach is adopted in which decisions are generally taken by top management. However, it is accepted that the opinions of all levels should be taken into consideration when senior management takes decisions. While it is stated that the employee who is the expert of the work should participate in the decision-making process, the view that the final decision belongs to the senior management is also adopted. As it is seen, a contradiction arises. While it is expected that the managers who receive management consultancy and who are thought to have the motivation to develop their organizations will try to involve all levels in decision-making with a more participatory approach, it is seen that they fall short of expectations in terms of full participation and play a central role. At this point, it can be concluded that the understanding of management with full participation continues to be a myth and becomes the most prominent shackle of managers in the process
Strategic management management consulting executive shackles critical management approach.

Uygulamada bazı yöneticiler, stratejik yönetimi teorik ve gerçek problemlerden uzak bulurken bazıları ise stratejik yönetim süreçlerinin sembolik eylemler olduğunu düşünmektedir. Stratejik yönetim sürecine en önemliyi katkıyı sağlayacak kurumlardan biri olan yönetim danışmanlığının Türkiye'de yeterince kullanılmadığı görülmektedir. Bu araştırma, yönetim danışmanlarının yöneticilerin stratejik karar alma süreçlerini nasıl değerlendirdiğini ortaya koymak ve yönetim danışmanlarının stratejik yönetim sürecine katkılarını belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sürece yönetim danışmanları perspektifinden yaklaşmayı amaçlayan nitel bir durum çalışması olarak tasarlanan çalışma, yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formları kullanarak, Yönetim Danışmanlığı Derneğine üye olan 9 yönetim danışmanıyla yapılan görüşmeler ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Online gerçekleştirilen veri toplama süreci sonunda, katılımcılardan alınan yazılı cevaplar MAXQDA 2023 demo paket programı kullanılarak ve tematik analiz yapılarak sunulmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlar, özellikle üst yönetimin stratejik kararlardaki etkisini ortaya çıkararak danışmanlığın stratejik yönetim sürecindeki önemini ortaya koymaktadır.
