Company history
Establishment
Ideas for Bain & amp; The company was conceived by co-founder William Worthington Bain Jr. during his time at Boston Consulting Group (BCG). In 1970, BCG CEO Bruce Henderson decided to divide his company into three competing mini companies: blue, red and green. Bill Bain and Patrick Graham lead the blue team. The blue team accounts for more than half of BCG's revenue and profits, and wins the internal competition. After the competition, Bill Bain became increasingly frustrated by waiting for Henderson's retirement, company-based project approach to consulting, and management's refusal to help clients execute company advice. Around this time, he was quoted saying feeling like 'a consultant on a desert island, writing a report, putting it in a bottle, throwing it into the water, then going to the next'.
Bain was the expected successor of Henderson in BCG in the early 70s. However, in 1973, three years after the decision of Henderson's competing team, Bill Bain resigned to start his own consulting firm. Most of the senior members of the 'blue team' follow him to his newly discovered company, which starts from his apartment in Beacon Hill neighborhood in Boston. An important part of the company where he was in charge at BCG also follows Bain to a new company. In a few weeks, Bain & amp; The company works with seven former BCG clients; this includes two of BCG's biggest clients, Black & amp; Decker and Texas Instruments. As a result, Henderson accused Bill of stealing a BCG client. It is believed that Henderson's rivalry laid the groundwork for Bain & amp; Company, and is viewed by many as the "disaster" of Henderson.
Bain & amp; The company is growing rapidly, especially through word-of-mouth among CEOs and board members. The company established its first official office in Boston. This was followed by the European office in London in 1979. Bain & amp; The company was founded in 1985. The company grew an average of 50 percent annually, reaching $ 150 million in revenue in 1986. The number of staff in the company increased threefold from 1980 to 1986, reaching 800 in 1987. In 1987, Bain & amp; The company is one of the four largest "strategy specialist" consulting firms. Employee turnover is 8 percent per year compared to an industry average of 20 percent. Some of the company's largest clients in this period were National Steel and Chrysler, each of which reduced production costs with the help of Bain.
Flush
In the late 1980s, Bain & amp; The company suffered a series of setbacks. The PR crisis emerged in 1987, due to a controversy involving Bain's work with Guinness. Tension grows on the company's partnership structure, where only Bain knows how many companies make and decide how much profit sharing each partner earns. The stock market fell in the same year, and many Bain clients reduced or eliminated their expenses with the company. There are two rounds of layoffs, eliminating about 30 percent of the workforce.
The Guinness stock trading fraud began with the UK Department of Commerce and Industry investigating whether Bain Guinness clients illegally raised their share prices. Bain has helped Guinness slash 150 companies from its portfolio after an excessive period of diversification, and developed into liquor by acquiring two whiskey firms, boosting profits sixfold. During this time, Bain made an exception to company policy by allowing consultants to serve as temporary board members and chief financial officer for Guinness. Bain & amp; The company is not accused of wrongdoing and there is no charge against Bain for stock price manipulation, but has Bain consultants as both vendors and clients withdraw criticism of Bain's handling of conflict of interest situations.
In 1985 and 1986, Bain & amp; The company took out a loan to buy 30 percent of the company from Bain and other partners for $ 200 million and used the stock to create an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The shares of this company were bought five times Bain & amp; The company's annual revenue, more than double the norm, and cost the company $ 25 million in annual interest costs, exacerbates the company's financial problems. Bain hired former US army general Pete Dawkins as head of North America in the hope that the new leadership could lead to a turnaround, but Dawkins' leadership brought more turnaround in the company. Bill Bain also tried to sell the company, but did not find a buyer.

Mitt Romney was rehired as interim CEO of Bain & amp; Company in January 1991 and is credited with saving the company from bankruptcy for a year in office in that position. Romney originally left Bain & amp; Company in 1983 after being appointed by Bain to lead Bain Capital, an independent private equity firm that would buy a company that Bain & amp; The partner company will increase and resell and fund who is invested by this partner. Romney allows managers to know each other's salaries, renegotiate corporate debt, and restructure the organization so that more partners have ownership stake in the company. Romney convinced the founding partners to give $ 100 million in equity. Bain and most of the founding partners left the company.
Romney left again in December 1992 to pursue a career in politics, but not before he organized the election of a new leader the following year, leading to the appointment of Orit Gadiesh as Chairman and Thomas J. Tierney as Managing Director of the World in July 1993. Gadiesh work and loosen the company's policy toward working with many companies in the same industry to reduce the company's reliance on a small number of clients. Gadiesh has served as Chairman ever since. At the end of 1993, Bain & amp; The company is growing once again. The company went from 1,000 employees at its peak, to 550 in 1991, and back up to 800. The company opened more offices, including one in New York in 2000. From 1992 to 1999, the company grew 25 percent annually and expanded from 12 to 26 offices. In 1998, the company had $ 220 million in annual revenue and 700 staff.
