Roland Berger Strategy Consultants is a global strategy consulting firm headquartered in Munich, with 50 offices in 36 countries. Roland Berger Strategy Consultants was founded in 1967 by Roland Berger. In 2009, the company's sales were c. USD 850 m.[citation needed] The company, with around 2,400 employees worldwide, is an independent partnership wholly owned by its approx. 220 partners.[1]
Roland Berger operates as a generalist strategy consultancy[2] and advises the world's leading corporations, non-profit organizations and public institutions on management issues ranging from strategy development to performance improvement.[3] Roland Berger's business is organized into global functional and industry competence centers. Its practice areas include corporate development, marketing and sales, operations strategy, restructuring and corporate finance, and information management. Industry specialties include automotive, consumer goods and retail, energy and chemicals, engineered products and high-tech, financial services, information communications, pharmaceuticals and health care, public services and transportation.[4]
History
Roland Berger established the firm in 1967, after four years of working for Gennaro Boston Associati in Boston and Milan, Italy. Revenues doubled annually for the first three years, reaching DM 5.6 million in 1970.[citation needed] By 1987 the firm became the largest consultancy in Germany, with sales over DM 100 million.[5]
To finance overseas expansion, Berger then allowed Deutsche Bank to take a minority stake, rising to 75.1% in 1988. This proved a problem in the US, where the Federal Reserve Bank did not allow subsidiaries of commercial banks to practise consulting, so the managers bought back Deutsche Bank's shares in 1998 and 2000.[5]
In November 2010 the firm reached an advanced stage in talks to merge with Deloitte's consulting arm, but withdrew after the partners decided instead to invest more of their own resources.[6] In 2013 the partners requested the executive committee to consider "external options" and a possible sale - EY reportedly made an offer which was eventually rejected by the partner group.[7] In June 2015 Roland Berger acquired the entire team from German consulting firm FMC Consultants GmbH.[8]
Organization
The organization is based on global Competence Centers along functional and industry lines. Roland Berger Strategy Consultants advises in the fields of restructuring and marketing, with a focus on the automobile industry and the capital goods sector.[3]
In North America, the company has 4 offices: in Chicago, Detroit, Boston and Montreal.
Roland Berger has 50 offices in 36 countries worldwide.[5]
Projects and initiatives
Since 2013 Roland Berger Strategy Consultants' pro bono engagement focuses on promoting education via the Roland Berger Foundation which was established in 2008 by the firm's Honorary Chairman Roland Berger and endowed with EUR 50 million. With its German scholarship program, the Foundation supports gifted children and young people from socially disadvantaged families. The program currently supports 500 individual pupils from 6 to 18 years across Germany.[9]
In 2006 the company founded Best of European Business Awards.[10] It sponsors the Counterparts initiative to support culture and education in Central and Eastern Europe.[11] and also supports the Young Global Leaders at the World Economic Forum.[12]
On 30 January 2012, the company said it was in the process of collecting €300 million from financial institutions and business intelligence agencies to set up an independent non-profit credit rating agency, which could provide its first country ratings by the end of the year.[13] On 19 April 2013 the effort was foundered after negotiations with a private European group of investors ended without agreement.[14]
