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. For decades, its consultants have
helped companies and governments come up with the strategies and
habits that have shaped the world we live in. In this book, star
financial journalist Duff McDonald shows 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. 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
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. To an outsider, they are a consulting firm. To themselves,
they are simply The Firm. This revealing book uncovers the inner
workings of what just might be the most influential private
organization in America.
