The task I am struggling with:Mt. Kinley is a strategy consulting firm that divides itsconsultants into three classes: associates, managers, and partners. The firm has been stable in size for the last 20 years, ignoring growth opportunities in the 90s, but also not suffering from a need to downsize in the recession at the beginning of the 21st century. Specifically, there have been – and are expected to be – 200 associates, 60 managers, and 20 partners.The work environment at Mr. Kinley is rather competitive. After four years of working as an associate, a consultant goes “either up or out”; that is, becomes a manager or is dismissed from the company. Similarly, after six years a manager either becomes a partner or is dismissed. The company recruits MBA’s as associate consultants; no hires are made at the manager or partner level. A partner stays with the company for another 10 years (a total of 20 years with the company).a) How many new MBA graduates does Mt. Kinley have to hire every…

Therefore, I must have greater expertise than any of my subordinates and can probably do most of the work better and faster than they can. I will train them when I have time, but right now I had better concentrate on getting the work out.” “Joanne did not pass on any major assignments to her employees; she did the work herself.

Her employees were given only the most routine work, received no training, and actually knew very little about major projects in progress. One actually resigned because of the lack of…
