Ethan M. Rasiel
The McKinsey Way
Using the Techniques of the World's Top Strategic Consultants to Help You and Your Business
McGraw-Hill, 1999
Aperçu
A worldwide consulting company has honed its problem-solving techniques, from how to conduct interviews to how to be sure you are posing the right problem. Now you can apply these methods to your business.
Recommendation
Ethan M. Raisel describes the problem-solving process used by McKinsey & Company, a well-known corporate consulting firm. The book offers easily digested tips. The insightful section on conducting interviews and the tips on building teamwork are particularly useful. However, because the author and other McKinsey consultants are prohibited by confidentiality agreements from discussing the specifics of their cases, the book lacks real-world examples of the firm’s problem-solving approaches. getAbstract recommends this book to managers seeking useful information and problem solving techniques.
