Bain & Company's IT Practice (A)
Abstract
In late 2001, the consultancy Bain must decide whether to launch information technology as a practice area within the firm. The senior executives who are Bain's clients have been asking more and more IT-related questions of the firm's partners, who find themselves without good answers. Launching an IT practice, however, will mean acquiring significant amounts of new expertise and incorporating many new partners.
