Question ID: 107634
Where can I find a FREE complete McKinsey study online? I'm putting
together a study of my own and would like to know where I can find
good examples of complete studies. McKinsey is top dog of consultants
and I assume has some of the best models to follow.

I can show you how to obtain free complete reports from the McKinsey
Global Institute, which is McKinsey's think tank and which publishes
reports on the economies of various countries.  Would this be a
sufficient answer?

td99,

The McKinsey Reports are indeed highly esteemed by the Business and
Economic sectors for their well-structured, thoroughly in-depth
content.

There are various economic and business McKinsey reports downloadable
from the McKinsey Global Institute (free registration is required). To

Hi, looking for something a little more specific, company focused
rather than country focused.

Clarification of Answer by aceresearcher-ga on 14 Nov 2002 10:29 PST
td99,

The main reason that McKinsey reports which are specific to a certain
company are not readily available online is because companies pay
hundreds or thousands of dollars for the report, which includes a
detailed analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, and future potential
of the company. No company in their right mind would make that kind of
proprietary information available to their competitors.

However, I have been able to find a few McKinsey reports specific to
single government-related organizations available for free online:

"Strengthening Community and Economic Development in Minneapolis"
(June 14, 2002)
http://www.ci.minneapolis.mn.us/mayor/priorities/development

"Building Consensus for Greensboro's Future (November 2000)
http://www.ci.greensboro.nc.us/mckinsey.pdf

"Increasing FDNY's Preparedness" (2002)
http://www.nyc.gov/html/fdny/html/mck_report/index.html

"Improving NYPD Emergency Preparedness and Response" (August 19, 2002)
http://www.nyc.gov/html/nypd/pdf/nypdemergency.pdf

In addition, you may find some helpful information, including
McKinsey's DCF Valuation Model, on Andres A.Calderon's personal and
professional website:
http://www.infotoday.org/business/finabus/finabus.html contains links
to:
http://www.infotoday.org/business/finabus/MVM.pdf
http://www.infotoday.org/business/finabus/MVM.xls

I hope this additional information provides you with the tools you
need to accomplish your goal.

Hi, not exactly what I'm looking for. These reports are too broad. I'm
looking for a study that would show discovery and recommendations at
the company level.

td99,

Although your original question did not say anything about for-profit
company-specific reports, I DO understand your clarification request
for company-specific reports.

However, as I said, it will be next to impossible to find such
company-specific reports online, because companies are not going to
spend thousands of dollars on a report and then publish it online, so
that their competitors can take the information for free and use it to
exploit their weaknesses, or create new products that strongly take
away from their market share.

The government-entity-specific reports I listed DO provide a good
outline of the way McKinsey analyzes an individual company, "discovery
and recommendations at the company level". I think that if you spend
some time reading and analyzing these, you will find that they provide
a great basis for you in designing such a report for yourself.

please post a Request for Clarification, and I will be glad to see
