The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) is a prestigious management consulting firm founded by Bruce Henderson in 1963. The company was formed when Henderson, a Harvard Business School alumnus, left Arthur D. Little to accept the challenge from the CEO of the Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company to start a consulting arm for the bank. Image File history File links No higher resolution available. ...

Little, Inc. ...


In 1965 Henderson thought that to survive, much less grow, in a competitive landscape occupied by hundreds of larger and better-known consulting firms, a distinctive identity was needed, and pioneered "Business Strategy" as a special area of expertise for BCG. Strategic management is the process of specifying an organizations objectives, developing policies and plans to achieve these objectives, and allocating resources so as to implement the plans. ...


As his client list grew, Henderson targeted the nation's best business schools. At some point he was said to have eclipsed McKinsey as the top recruiter at Harvard, aggressively wooing its best students with high salaries and the chance to make a difference in a cutting-edge firm. He encouraged the young minds he hired to come up with innovative ideas that were meant to dazzle hardened corporate veterans. McKinsey & Company is a privately owned management consulting firm. ...


In 1973 Bill Bain and others left BCG to form Bain & Company, and two years later Henderson arranged an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), so that the employees could take the company independent from The Boston Safe Deposit and Trust Company. The buyout of all shares was completed in 1979. Bill Bain is a management consultant, known for his role as one of the founders of the management consultancy that bears his name, Bain & Company. ... Bain & Company is a management consulting firm, headquartered in Boston, MA, that is recognized as one of the leading business institutions in the world. ... Employee-owned corporations are corporations owned in whole or in part by their employees. ...


In 1998 BCG created The Strategy Institute. Its purpose is to enrich the firm's strategic thinking by applying insights from a variety of academic disciplines to the strategic challenges facing both business and society.


The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) ranked 8th overall and 1st among smaller companies in Fortune Magazine's 2007 "100 Best US Companies to Work For" survey, based on strong employee development, a supportive culture, and progressive benefits.[1] Categories: Magazines stubs | Time Warner subsidiaries | Business magazines ...

Recruiting

BCG typically hires for an Associate or a Consultant position. Whilst so called "lateral hires" as Project Leader, Principal or Partner are possible, they are not the norm. BCG recruits MBA graduates to join as Consultants from the world's top business schools[2], and focuses the majority of their recruiting effort to schools such as Harvard University, Wharton School of Business, Stanford University, INSEAD, Darden, Dartmouth College, Kellogg School of Business, MIT Sloan, University of Chicago, Haas, Duke University, and Columbia. There is also an opportunity to join as a Summer Associate or Summer Consultant (internship) position for 10 weeks, which for the majority of interns will result in an offer for full-time position. Harvard University (incorporated as The President and Fellows of Harvard College) is a private university in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and a member of the Ivy League. ... The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania is a business school at the University of Pennsylvania, USA. The school was founded by Joseph Wharton, who also was one of the founders of Swarthmore College (founded in 1864), in 1881 as the first collegiate business school in the United States. ... “Stanford” redirects here. ... INSEAD is a graduate business school and research institution with campuses in Fontainebleau (near Paris), France and in Singapore. ... Darden Restaurants, Incorporated (NYSE: DRI) is a holding company controlled by Joe Lee, a founder of the Red Lobster seafood restaurant chain. ... Dartmouth College is a private, coeducational university located in Hanover, New Hampshire, USA. Incorporated as Trustees of Dartmouth College,[6][7] it is a member of the Ivy League and one of the nine colonial colleges founded before the American Revolution. ... The Sloan School of Management, one of the five schools of MIT, is a leading business school. ... The University of Chicago is a private university located principally in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. ... Look up haas in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ... Duke University is a private coeducational research university located in Durham, North Carolina, USA. Founded by Methodists and Quakers in the present-day town of Trinity in 1838, the school moved to Durham in 1892. ...


Insiders estimate that BCG North American offices receive around 10,000 resumes every year for the Associate position. Typically, 1 to 2% of candidates are extended an offer to join the firm, ~70% of whom accept - ratios that are considered in line with competitors.


After a two year tenure, some BCG Associates choose to stay for a third year as Senior Associates and have the opportunity to work abroad in a foreign office through BCG's Associate Exchange Program. Many Associates are also sponsored by BCG to attend business school and rejoin the company afterwards as Consultants.


Interview Process

BCG uses the case method to conduct interviews, which is an interview technique designed to simulate the types of problems inherent in management consulting and to test the qualitative and quantitative skills deemed important for abstract thinking in a business setting.


The first round of interviews consists of two 30 minute cases with BCG consultants. Successful candidates may be passed onto the second round corresponding with a regional office. The second round consists of three 30-45 minute interviews with partners from that office in a similar format to the first round interviews.


Publications

Every year, BCG publishes articles, industry reports, government commissioned studies and books relating to particular industries or authorial practice areas. Many partners have written books on issues facing management in the modern business environment. Some recent publications:

BCG growth-share matrix


In the 1970s, BCG created and popularized the "growth-share matrix", a simple chart to assist large corporations in deciding how to allocate cash among their business units. The corporation would categorize its business units as "Stars", "Cash Cows", "Question Marks", and "Dogs", and then allocate cash accordingly, moving money from "cash cows" toward "stars" and "question marks" that had higher market growth rates, and hence higher upside potential.

The BOSTON matrix (aka B.C.G. analysis, B.C.G.-matrix, Boston Box, Boston Consulting Group analysis) is a chart that had been created by Bruce Henderson for the Boston Consulting Group in 1970 to help corporations with analyzing their business units or product lines. ...


The chart was popular for two decades and "continues to be used as a primer in the principles of portfolio management," as BCG says.
