Recommendation

Throughout the 1990s, consultants were the kings of business and one firm, McKinsey & Co., reigned above all others. In The McKinsey Mind, Ethan M. Raisel and Paul N.

As such, getAbstract recommends this book not just for its McKinsey cachet, but for its applicable approaches to business.
