Dangerous Company: The Consulting Powerhouses and the Businesses They Save and RuinDangerous Company is the never-before-told story of the powerful and secretive consulting elite, firms such as McKinsey & Company, Bain, the Boston Consulting Group, Andersen Consulting, Deloitte Touche, Gemini, and many others. Based on sources within the firms themselves, interviews with key clients, and access to now-sealed court records, the book provides the inside story that consultants would prefer you not know. James O'Shea and Charles Madigan tell you about conspiracies at the top, boneheaded assumptions, as well as brilliant performances. While Dangerous Company reveals the underside of consulting, it also looks at many success stories: how a consulting firm helped a pharmaceutical company develop a strategy for marketing instruments that enable diabetics to manage their disease. Not only has the product been profitable, it has greatly improved that lives of millions of people; how Sears got turned around. |
