Morphology
The meaning 'the professional practice of providing expert advice about management' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'management' (organizing and supervising) with 'consulting' (giving expert guidance). This noun–noun/nominalized verb composition follows a common and predictable pattern in English (and other languages), so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily understand the phrase.
Etymology
Management consulting mixes management (running a company) and consulting (giving expert advice), so imagine an expert standing beside managers pointing out problems and showing how to fix them. That's why management consulting means the 'job of giving advice to help an organization run better'.
