Jobsavers – Jobkillers
Inside Germany‘s Big Consulting Firm Roland Berger
The real agents of the German economy are not the managers of the big companies. The ones pulling the strings work for banks and consultancies. German consultancy „Roland Berger & Partner“ is one of them, and one of the most influential. Founded in 1967, the company from Munich has become the leading global consultant. In Germany, they give advice to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Telekom, offer crisis management to Lufthansa and Volkswagen, assist in financial management of the Frankfurt opera and export knowledge to China and Japan. Companies like Roland Berger, McKinsey or Boston consulting are indispensable in our economy. They work for more efficiency and save businesses from bankruptcy – but no one really knows, if in the end they might be killing jobs more than saving them.
