In the early years of its development under James O. McKinsey and Marvin Bower what were Mc Kinsey’s unique sources of competitive advantage?
Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: B, Edinburgh Napier University (Business School), course: Business Management, language: English, abstract: It is an essay for the McKinsey case study published in Bartlett et.at. 2008 Transnational Management. It evaluates McKinsey Resources, Core-Coppetencas and Capabilities with refereces to the case study. James McKinsey started a small consulting firm “of accounting and engineering advisors” (Bartlett et.al. 2008 p. 499) in 1926 with a goal. He wanted to build a great firm that could attract, develop and retain exceptional employees and clients. By 1950 McKinsey turned into an “elite consulting firm unable to meet the demand of its services” (Bartlett et.al. 2008 p. 499). Understanding how McKinsey created its competitive advantage suggests examining its internal resources, capabilities and core competences.
What 'culture' is and how does it work
Essay from the year 2009 in the subject Cultural Studies - Basics and Definitions, Edinburgh Napier University, language: English, abstract: The notion of culture is diverse. It cannot be defined in two or three phrases. Besides, it is difficult to find any other such word which would have such set of semantic shades.

One that I’ve found the most unusual is: “.culture is human energy organized in patterns of repetitive behaviour”. (A. L. Kroeber, C. Kluckhohn 2001 p.141) So what is the reason of such a variety of interpretations?

The Geography of Nationalism in Russia and the USSR
The Geography of Nationalism in Russia and the USSR is an important addition to the small library of essential works on the collapse of the Soviet empire. The first attempt to construct and test broad theoretical propositions about "place" and "territoriality" in the making of nations, it examines the critical social processes underlying the formation of nations and homelands in Russia and the USSR during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Robert Kaiser finds that for the most part national self-consciousness was only beginning to supplant a localist mentality by the time of World War I. The national problem faced by Lenin was fundamentally different from the more difficult nationalist ...

Macropsychology
This volume argues for the development of a macro perspective within psychology that more effectively incorporates social structures, systems, policies, and institutions. The book emphasizes how social structures and systems can ultimately promote, or erode, psychological wellbeing. Macropsychology is concerned with “understanding up,” or how we can influence the settings and conditions of the society in which we live. Psychology has traditionally been more interested in “understanding down,” that is, with the behaviour of individuals and groups; in inter-psychic and intra-psychic and in neurological and biological processes. This volume argues that psychology can more effectively co...
