This book provides detailed descriptions of management consulanting firms. Companies covered: McKinsey, Booz Allen Hamilton, Cresap, Robert Heller, Arthur D. Little, Boston Consulting Group, Bain and Company, and many others. McKinsey started in 1930s, hired the best MBAs from Harvard, MIT, other Ivy League schools, moved them up the corporate ladder. They either became partners at McKinsey or they were out. Other firms followed suit. Many of them landed as CEOs later in their careers. Lou Gerstner is a good example, turned around IBM in the 90s.Jeff Skilling was the other extreme. Armed with the Harvard MBA, 10 year McKinsey experience, drove Enron to the ground. Sarbanes-Oxley Act soon followed. Even the best can fall.I recommend this book. This book will be better, if it placed less emphasis on the historical timelines of each firm, and more on the success/failure of the profession.
Easy to read and understand with a focused content. I'm using it for my consulting class and I declare it the best textbook ever! Excellent resource for both clients and consultants.
