McKinsey & Company

Property and servicesconsulting

McKinsey advises corporations and governments on strategy and organisation, and it charges for partner judgement rather than for measurable outcomes. Marvin Bower built the modern firm from the 1930s on a partnership model with up-or-out promotion, a client-first code and a refusal to publish client names, and its alumni went on to run large parts of the corporate world. The literature runs in two directions and this entry carries both. Duff McDonald's history, Ethan Rasiel's how-to and the HBR award collection present the firm's methods on its own terms, while Bogdanich and Forsythe's investigation sets out the work for opioid makers, tobacco companies, ICE and authoritarian governments; Kiechel's history of strategy consulting places McKinsey against BCG and Bain.
