In the early days, McKinsey & Company mainly provided consulting services in accounting and engineering. Its bleak business also made it once sold. The "elite" corporate image of McKinsey's "corporate doctor" was actually formed after marvin bower joined 1933. Therefore, James McKinsey is definitely not the best consultant, but he is the person that all the best consultants in the world will look up to.
Initially, McKinsey & Company was a comprehensive accounting and management consulting company. Jeames McKinsey is a rigorous, earnest, rigid and rigorous accounting professor, and his management philosophy has been ahead of other managers for more than 40 years. He believes that the company should be managed scientifically and reasonably, and how to be a qualified boss should be emphasized within the company. So, he named this world-famous consulting company after himself and founded the consulting industry. From 65438 to 0929, the United States experienced economic crisis, social and economic depression, many companies were in trouble and a large number of companies closed down. Therefore, accounting firms need to settle accounts and register assets, and enterprises need to reorganize assets, which brings rare development opportunities to McKinsey & Company. McKinsey & Company is engaged in a large number of asset verification, asset restructuring and management consulting, and gradually becomes a "doctor of enterprise" with "elite gathering", constantly enhancing the reputation and status of McKinsey & Company and promoting the development and growth of American consulting industry.
1937 after the death of professor jeames McKinsey, there was once a contradiction within McKinsey company, and the Chicago branch engaged in accounting affairs was dissatisfied with the loss of new york branch and set up another hill. From 195 1, McKinsey proposed that the company only serves the CEO of large companies, and its employees are composed of the best MBA (Master of Business Administration), which established the most important quality of the industry: "Keep customer secrets strictly, even after leaving the company." McKinsey & Company achieved rapid development in 1950s and became the leading consulting industry in the United States, and made full preparations for its subsequent expansion in the international market in 1960s. By the end of 1960s, McKinsey & Company had become a large consulting company with high reputation in European and North American markets.
In addition to starting the consulting industry, James McKinsey also made a great contribution, which he learned through a heavy lesson. James McKinsey was very talented at that time. When he became a famous consulting planner, he began to feel dissatisfied with this role. From 65438 to 0935, James McKinsey officially entered the large department stores in marshall field as the president, and personally carried out drastic rectification of the department stores. As a result, all previous efforts were in vain because of violating internal contradictions. James McKinsey died of depression. Before he died, he left an important instruction: be independent when consulting and don't interfere too much in the internal affairs of clients. This commandment has had a profound impact on McKinsey in the next few decades, and has long dominated the consulting industry. It is regarded as the golden rule by many consulting companies and affects the whole consulting industry.
Although many people are skeptical or even negative about this now, it is undeniable that this commandment did play a huge role at the beginning of consultation and when management consultation was still immature.
After James. O.Mckensey, there are many excellent consultants, and the contents and methods of consultation are becoming more and more diversified, but they are just constantly improving the industry. If there is no consulting industry, they may just be elites in other industries.
James. O.Mckensey created a special industry and a social accelerator.
