November Webinar: When McKinsey Comes to Town: Are Some Clients Simply Too Toxic?
Under Delaware law, U.S. corporations are required to work in the best interests of their shareholders. Should McKinsey, which consulted for Purdue Pharma, be excused from responsibility for the opioid crisis? Should one of the world’s most prestigious consulting firms focus on satisfying its clients’ needs without taking into account the broader social ramifications of its recommendations? Larry Zicklin (BBA, ’57) discusses these questions with Walt Bogdanich and Michael Forsythe (pictured, left to right), reporters at The New York Times and co-authors of the book When McKinsey Comes to Town: The Hidden Influence of the World’s Most Powerful Consulting Firm. With an introduction by Zicklin School Dean Bruce Weber and a Q&A session moderated by Associate Dean Gwendolyn Webb.
