History
McKinsey & Company was founded in Chicago in 1926 by James Oscar McKinsey , a renowned professor at the University of Chicago. James McKinsey left the firm in 1935 to become CEO of Marshall Field’s, before dying suddenly of pneumonia in 1937 .
Marvin Bower , who joined McKinsey & Company in 1933 , then succeeded James McKinsey at the start of it, is the emblematic figure of the firm. It is considered the major player in the rise of the company, but also the father of modern strategy consulting. Bower has established the main operating principles that still govern the firm. Inspired by his experience in a law firm, he was convinced the board to branches should meet the highest ethical and professional the highest.
Organization
McKinsey & Company is now a fully international law firm with 90 offices, located in about 50 countries on all continents, bringing together more than 8000 consultants, 117 of different nationalities. Present in Europe for forty years, it carries on business in 25 countries through 38 offices, established in 1964 , the office of Paris now has about 300 consultants.
The firm is organized around a fifty poles of sectoral or functional.
A special feature of McKinsey vis-à-vis its main competitors is its approach to one firm , which is reflected in particular by a partner compensation based on the global results, a high mobility between offices, a culture very collaborative and relatively homogeneous. According to the magazine The Economist , “the only consulting firm with an organization that is similar to McKinsey’s global network.”
Customer-oriented marketing
The customer-oriented marketing is a type of marketing that takes place in the stores themselves: it aims to cause immediate purchase decision, when the customer arrives near the product concerned. The consumer of the product and the buyer may be different people. Example: the mother alone can buy 90% of daily articles for the family while consumption will be divided between four different members of the family.
The customer-oriented marketing implies that suppliers of goods focus marketing investments on the store instead of investing in traditional media. Another important criterion for its implementation is a more precise understanding of customers and buying behavior, enabled by information systems the most developed of the store (eg purchase data card based customers) .
Investments by suppliers of goods in the customer-oriented marketing increased by 21% year 1 and Procter & Gamble , for example, has invested (after its accounting information) at least 500 million per year 2 .
The following research findings led the investment markets to consumer marketing customer-oriented:
70% of the choice of brands in the store is a
68% of purchase decisions are unplanned 3
5% of customers remain loyal to one brand in a given product group 4

The starting point of marketing-oriented customer is always the buyer, ie the individual who made purchases. That’s why its measurement is a marketing stimulus type may affect the buyer in the store, which is based on an understanding of purchasing behavior.
The customer-oriented marketing can be divided into four mixed traditional marketing, the product ( product ), price ( price ), accessibility ( up ) and marketing communications ( promoting ).
The product ( product ): the size, shape, color, material, packaging, posting messages on packaging and visual identity.
The price ( price ): price discounts, offers batch communication prices and coupons
Accessibility ( up ): concept store, lighting, gondolas, shelves and place on specific locations
Marketing communications ( promotional ) promotional packaging, promotional stores, promotional communications, special presentations, TV-shops, posters and advertising on ground carts and baskets
Information on purchasing behavior
We obtain information on the behavior of buyers from three methods of gathering information different: observations, interviews and checkout system.
Observations made in shops provide information on the behavior of buyers when purchasing a product. For example, the duration of the procurement process, the client remarked, that he touched, he studied, what he has already bought and buying habits affect the process .
Interviews to determine reasons for buying behavior. The questions most often clarified are: replacement of the product, recognizing alternatives, values and behaviors, moods and motivations as well as lifestyle and social level.
The currency board provides information about the date, time and sales. Furthermore, using customer cards and databases, we are able to affect purchase records to some buyers.
This gives absolute information on what each customer has purchased and where. It can lead to a finer description of buying behavior of the buyer by combining information provided by the collection methods described above, so as to have a global view of the buyer (how, why, what and when) .
Segmentation of buyers
By performing segmentation of buyers, the market is shared between the most essential and most measurable, that is to say, segments on the basis of information on buying behavior. Thanks to the segmentation of buyers, it is easier to meet the needs of each segment. For example, price-sensitive buyers and traditional buyers differ markedly in their buying behavior. With segmentation, you can target marketing measures on the most profitable buyers.

Foundation
Arthur Andersen was founded in 1913 by Arthur Andersen and Clarence Delany under the name Andersen, Delany & Co. The firm changed its name in 1918 for Arthur Andersen & Co. after the departure of Mr. Delany.
His first client was the brewer Schlitz of Milwaukee .
Arthur Andersen, the founder
Arthur Andersen (1885-1947)
Son of Norwegian immigrants arrived in the United States four years ago, Arthur Edward Andersen was born 30 May 1885 in Plano in Illinois . Orphaned at the age of sixteen, he had to then work as a courier while attending evening classes.
He worked as an assistant controller at Allis-Chalmers in Chicago – where he became interested in the work of independent public accountant (auditor) – and then confirmed as an accountant at Price Waterhouse from 1901 to 1911. He graduated certified public accountant (CPA) at the University of Illinois in 1908 and at the age of 23, he was the youngest CPA in Illinois 1 . He then became Controller for the Schlitz Brewing Co. brewery in Milwaukee.
In 1913 at the age of 28, with his colleague from Price Waterhouse, Clarence Delaney, he created his own company under the name Andersen, Delaney & Co in 1915 and, through his many contacts in that city, he opened a second office in Milwaukee. The company became Arthur Andersen & Co in 1918.
WWI Draft Registration, 1917-1918
In 1917, after following new evening classes – and while working full time – he graduated with a bachelor’s in business from the Kellogg School of Management at the Northwestern University .
From 1912 to 1922 , he was also professor of accounting at Northwestern University where he will be the first to create courses in which students are required to solve real problems for companies.
Andersen had a genuine belief in training as a basis for development of the accounting profession. He created the first centralized training center and believed the training during work hours. He was also known as a generous man because of his commitments in education and civic associations and charities. In 1927 he was elected to the Board of Trustees (Board) from Northwestern University and was president 1930 to 1932 . He was also Chairman of the CPA inspectors in Illinois. Andersen led the company until his death in 1947.
In 1953 , Arthur Andersen entered the Hall of Fame of the State University of Ohio in recognition of this faith in the training.
Reputation of Arthur Andersen
Mr. Andersen was a supporter of high quality standards in the accountancy sector. With uncompromising honesty, he argued that the liability of auditors is made to investors, not customers. In 1914 , a few months after setting up his office, a railway company asked him to approve a questionable transaction that should have reduced spending on the company and thus increase its profit. Mr. Andersen said the president of the company in question that there was not enough money in the city of Chicago to make it do this, according to a book published in 1988 [Information doubtful] . The customer returned the book and a few months later, the railway company was bankrupt .
Andersen’s reputation was such that he was asked in 1938 to become the first president of the employee NYSE , to restore the prestige of the institution faltered since the crash of October 1929 2 . This he declined.
Leonard Spacek, who succeeded Andersen at the founder’s death until 1973 , continued to claim that honesty. Leonard Spacek in a book even accused the company Bethlehem Steel to have overstated its profits by 60% in 1964. In another, he put into question the role of the SEC to reprimand companies falsified their accounts. Over many years, the slogan of the firm and was ” Think straight, talk straight “(” Think right, talk right “) and within audit firms and the Big Five in particular, Andersen has always had a reputation of excellence.
Business Development
Old logo of Arthur Andersen
From the beginning, the Chicago firm grew rapidly, partly because of strong demand for audit services and accounting following the establishment of the federal tax on companies in 1913 . Colgate-Palmolive made part of his first clients.
The company was known in the 1920s as a specialist in utilities and gas companies in particular, which represented up to half of its turnover. Other offices were later opened: New York in 1921 , Kansas City in 1923 and Los Angeles in 1926 . Arthur Andersen then took advantage of the laws by post-1929 crash that forced the listed companies to certify their accounts each year.
The true recognition of the company came in 1932 when the management of financial recovery group founded by Samuel Insull , at the request of the creditors of the latter. Not only the firm increased its turnover by 20%, managed to avoid bankruptcy at all companies, but gained most from financial markets a reputation for honesty and independence.
After the founder’s death in 1947 , the company was nearly dissolved but Leonard Spacek convinced that the structure could continue to live, despite its financial difficulties.
In the 1950s, the stakes of companies became increasingly complex from its traditional business of accounting, the company grew in the fields of audit, tax and legal, and consulting. In 1950 , Arthur Andersen devised the “Glickiac”, a machine called a house engineer: for the first time, sat at a computer service company, not to use a purely scientific but to take their accounts. Mastery of this technology has not only enabled Andersen to audit the accounts of its customers, but also help in keeping them, which helped to increase profits for the firm.
Chaired Spacek, the company grew internationally and in 1959 , the network admitted its first non-American partners. Spacek personally opened the first five offices in Europe .

In 1979 , the firm became the leader in its core business 3 , and weighed 51 million in revenue against $ 7 million in 1950 , and continued its growth in new business, the board: in 1988 , Andersen was number a global consulting, with already 40% of its revenues from that class (see also below the consultancy arm of separation).
Arthur Andersen changed its name in 2001 to adopt that of Andersen 4 .
The Chicago firm has been one of the Big Eight history that is not grouped with one of its main competitors.

Separable council
Main article: Accenture .
The branch board of the company became more and more importance in the years 1970 and 1980, and its growth was much stronger than other professions. Gradually, the members of the branch council felt they did not receive a fair return in due proportion to their efforts and it began to create reports of increasing tension between consultants and auditors.
The logo of the former consulting arm of Andersen
This until 1989 when Arthur Andersen and Andersen Consulting (AC) became legally separate units within Andersen Worldwide Société Cooperative (AWSC), a Swiss entity that once oversaw all. With this umbrella organization, Andersen continued to use its services accounting and auditing as a loss leader in order to obtain contracts for Andersen Consulting, the consulting business is a far more lucrative.
However, during the 1990s, disagreements became more violent at the same time as the results of AC progressed. Chastened having repay a significant portion of their earnings to the auditors 5 , Andersen Consulting asked in 1997 to leave the network. After three years of arbitration proceedings with the International Chamber of Commerce, Andersen Consulting finally got successful and independence. The reasons for the separation diverge, each citing the greed and arrogance of the other side.
Accenture logo
Following their separation, Andersen Consulting changed its name to “Accenture” the day of the year 2001 and Accenture paid a billion dollars to Arthur Andersen, which was simply calculated amount to contractual allowances that had been blocked for three years of the procedure . If there was a requirement to delete the reference to the name Andersen, there was therefore no financial compensation.
Arthur Andersen reformed in parallel a second consulting group Arthur Andersen Business Consulting (AABC), since 1994 . Most firms in the group, AABC were bought by other consulting firms in 2002 , including Hitachi Consulting and KPMG Consulting, the latter later changed its name to BearingPoint .
Amputated Andersen Consulting, the group became the smallest of the five largest firms, and it says it will cause the fall of the group: to come back as quickly a leadership position, Andersen signed up to contracts, sometimes with clients risk profile as actors in the new economy, until the financial affairs remains the most resounding Enron.
Implicated in financial scandals 
Like other listeners of great reputation, the firm had to deal with some problems during the years 1980 and 1990 as it was appropriate to make a tradeoff between trade in services and intellectual integrity 6 . Andersen was not spared by a delicate balance between profit growth and professional rigor and was accused of being involved in fraud cases such as accounting,
Boston Chicken : Andersen agreed that some loss of this restaurant group is kept within its franchisees when the group was publicly traded. It filed for bankruptcy in 1998 and Andersen had to pay $ 10.3 million to shareholders in 2002.
Sunbeam Products : This manufacturer of equipment for home swelled its revenues by requiring its dealers to buy more goods than they could sell themselves. The firm had to pay $ 110 million to shareholders in May 2001.
Waste Management Inc. : In 1997 , the Company revised its results to the decrease of $ 1.7 billion, due to an overstatement of profits throughout the 1990s, which at that time constituted the largest adjustment ever made. Andersen was suspected of complacency in the face hefty contracts obtained in parallel in the board ($ 17.8 million of non-audit fees between 1991 and 1997 , against 7.5 million for audit fees) and had to pay 75 million to shareholders.
Asia Pulp and Paper : In 2001 , the Singapore paper producer could not honor its debt, without anyone alerting the markets of poor financial health of the company 7 .
The Baptist Foundation of Arizona : Following the collapse of the foundation, Andersen agreed to pay $ 217 million in March 2002 .
Enron : See detail below

Enron
The logo of the company in Texas Enron
Enron was an American multinational Houston specializing in energy, the sixth market capitalization of U.S. . Questioned late 2001 for dubious financial practices with the resounding driven into bankruptcy, the company was audited by Andersen.
Auditor since 1986 , Andersen moved over time offices dedicated to that customer within the headquarters of Enron, where about 150 employees working full time. Enron had become so powerful within the office of Houston that when a partner issued in 1999 a negative opinion about certain accounting of the client, the partner in question was relieved of his supervisory duties of the accounting rules due to pressure of Enron.
In an atmosphere of an overheating economy and deal with lavish fees for audit services as non-audit, the firm had ignored the ” creative accounting “of Enron and above destroyed accounting documents during a federal investigation. She is paid to the manipulation and concealment of critical data, apparently due to a conflict of interest between legal services and audit of those accounts more profitable advice to Enron.
Chronology of the case

2 April 2002 : Andersen España approximates Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. The firm KMPG, which previously sought a comprehensive solution for all activities of Andersen outside the United States estimates that an agreement was impossible now 12 .
Legal outcome
For destroying documents in an investigation of Sec, Arthur Andersen LLP (the American branch) was convicted in June 2002 and forbidden to practice as an auditor 13 .
Andersen Worldwide agreed to settle amicably part of the file to former Enron creditors, amounting to $ 60 million 14 . Of this amount, 40 million have returned to the University of California .
The firm of Houston was convicted of obstructing justice in the investigation into the accounts of Enron in July 2002 but that judgment will be canceled three years later by the Supreme Court of the United States , which ultimately acquit Andersen.
The collapse of Andersen
Now turn to a profile case, the firm lost the trust of many customers and made a plan of termination of employees to 7000 U.S. 15 ; this layoff plan represents only a very small proportion of dismissals and resignations, sometimes against compensation, in all entities. However, this alone will not save the brand Andersen.
The loss of credibility and reputation in the world named Andersen, however, then considered the benchmark for the profession, following the affair Enron scandals but also WorldCom and Global Crossing , will prove lethal. Because these qualities are essential to financial security, the first component of the signing of a statutory auditor or auditor. Moreover the scandal touched foremost the United States, the nerve center of the network.
Therefore, if an overall recovery of the global network outside the United States was once viewed with KPMG 16 , a sale on a national network – already well under way – was performed and a breakdown by country ensued. Some countries have already seceded, negotiations for a global recovery have therefore failed, particularly following the alliance of Spain Andersen to Deloitte , whereas this country should have played a major role in this scheme of approximation 17 .
A butchering of Andersen took place mainly during the year 2002 , to reduce Andersen to a minimum. Audit activities have been redeemed by Andersen’s main competitors:
KPMG : Strategically speaking, the KPMG network lost time in the negotiations by seeking an agreement at global level and has missed many opportunities locally. He eventually bought the branches of South Africa , from Nigeria and Japan .
Deloitte was the big winner with Ernst & Young ‘s dismantling of Andersen, recovering elements of the latter located in Belgium , in Brazil , to Canada , in Spain , in Italy , the Netherlands , in Portugal , the United Kingdom and Sweden .
Ernst & Young : In Europe , won the two major networks as well as German and French settlements in Argentina , in Australia , in Luxembourg , in Poland , in New Zealand , in Russia , in Singapore and Switzerland .
PricewaterhouseCoopers For reasons already dominant position in many countries, some local firms were taken over by Andersen network, which has nonetheless strengthened its market positions of strategic China , including the establishment in Hong Kong .
Other activities that the audit has undergone similar decommissioning, sometimes uncorrelated choices of the audit. Thus the activities of the board of Arthur Andersen in the UK have they joined Atos Origin , while those in France or Spain joined the group KPMG Consulting (later BearingPoint ).
Consequences for the audit of the fall of Andersen and Enron
Big Five to Four Fat
Direct consequence of the end of Andersen, there are only four large audit firms in the world, hence their nickname of Big Four (four) or even Fat Four (big four). If it appears now that the Big Four are very powerful in their field, problems of lack of competition can be debated
An example of France : consolidated accounts of a company must be reviewed by two auditors. However, large companies doing almost exclusively on the Big Four audit, the selection becomes more reduced as part of non-audit work that the two statutory auditors are not eligible.
Similarly the question of consequences of a hypothetical “new Enron.”
However, industry observers agree that the emergence of a fifth network overall is fantastic.
An enhanced oversight of auditors
The United States , the collapse of Enron has highlighted weaknesses in control procedures within companies. To remedy this, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act , named after the two instigators of parliamentary law, passed in July 2002 . This, among other obligations, reinforces the notion of auditor independence 18 .
In France , if the procedures were already more structured across the Atlantic, the Financial Security Act increases the controls. Regarded as a French counterpart to the Sarbanes-Oxley (“SOX Act”), it establishes among other things a High Council of Statutory Auditors ( H3C , under the authority of the Department of Justice) responsible for monitoring of the profession and reinforces its internal rules 19 .
At European level, the update of the Eighth Directive on European companies could introduce new rules to the profession, particularly rotation of partners in charge of audit files and a definition of independence of the controller 20 .

WINNER: THE OLYMPIC GOLD METALIST – KURT ANGLE
She’s lying about where she lives. She goes in front of a cool house when her boyfriend drops her off, then she goes home to her real house, which is government housing. What should I do?
You could ask your friend why she is lying, she is already in too deep, she has already lied about where she lives so i imagine if she tells him the truth then she will be very embarrassed. Give her the silent treatment until she tells the truth. Tell her why are you ashamed of your life? Tell her that you are a real big part of her life and that her lying really hurts you and makes you feel if she is soo ashamed of her life then maybe she is ashamed with you? When she replies that shes not ashamed of you then you say that you like her life and she doesnt have to lie about it..Then walk away…until she tells her boyfriend the truth
do you trust anything they say about health care?
Never have, never will.
National health care has never worked for any length of time anywhere it has been tried, and to put it in the hands our our government is VERY scary.
John…Obama backed off because these photos of "torture" are nothing. If they are less than Abu Ghraib, then they must be name calling and sticking their tongue out at the prisoners. I mean, Abu Ghraib was naked butt pyramids, dog collars and pointing at genitals while laughing. If Obama released these, his administration would be a laughing stock of the world, just for calling it torture. If he keeps them hidden, he can make Bush look bad and him look good for stopping the "torture"
Aj…First, you cannot impeach someone who is already out of office. And there is no way that BO would have pursued prosecution because he would not have succeeded and would have had egg on his face. His lawyers and handlers would have stopped him
I’m about to graduate at the end of this year and get my B.B.A. in general business (focusing on management). I pretty much figured out what I’d like to do with my life. I’d like to work my way into a management consulting firm. I really like management and I think being a management consultant would be very challenging for me. Also, I hear the pay is pretty good as well. How do I go about getting into a management consulting firm after I graduate?
While you’re still in school, contact the ones that are nearby & see if they have any internships that you could do part time while you finish your degree. The Big 4 audit firms (Deloitte, PwC, KPMG, and EY) generally hire people straight out of college. They have many divisions, some of which encompass management consulting.
Best of luck to you!
