It ranks among the unquestioned laws of American big business over the last half century: If you want to be taken seriously, you hire McKinsey & Company.
FOUNDED IN 1926, McKINSEY CAN LAY CLAIM to the following partial list of accomplishments: its consultants have ushered in waves of structural, financial, and technological change to the nation’s best organizations; they remapped the power structure within the White House; they even revolutionized business schools. In this book, star financial journalist Duff McDonald shows just how, in becoming an indispensable part of decision making at the highest levels, McKinsey has done nothing less than set the course of American capitalism.
But he also answers the question that’s on the mind of anyone who has ever heard the word McKinsey: Are they worth it? After all, just as McKinsey can be shown to have helped invent most of the tools of modern management, the company was also involved with a number of striking failures. Its consultants were on the scene when General Motors drove itself into the ground, and they were Kmart’s advisers when the retailer tumbled into disarray. They played a critical role in building the bomb known as Enron.
McDonald is one of the few journalists to have not only parsed the record but also penetrated the culture of McKinsey itself—a corporate mandarin elite whose methods have been compared (by others and by themselves) to those of the Jesuits or the U.S. Marines. They feel so strongly about themselves that they have insisted on a proper noun where one need not exist. To an outsider, they are a consulting firm. To themselves, simply, The Firm. This revealing book uncovers the inner workings of what just might be the most influential private organization in America.
McKinsey,my dream.
評分於2015.3.28日。讀完的第一本英語書籍。好開心。還可以吧。更像人物編年史。
評分可以看齣作者是很嚴謹的,很多句子對話都有citation ,絕非空穴來風。本來是抱著想對consulting 以及美國經濟曆史有更多瞭解來看這本書的,但是發現收獲卻不如想象。對經濟曆史發展的文筆用的很少,對consulting 的文筆也更多的是局限於麥肯锡裏哪一個人是什麼學校畢業的,之前做過什麼,對麥肯锡發展起到瞭什麼作用而已。
評分前麵講曆史還好,越到後麵越混亂,各種資料各種鬍亂堆砌,看在此類作品較少的份上,勉強3星吧
評分讀的颱譯本,無感飄過
