Grow or Die. It’s probably the most common business axiom, and the least accurate, according to the new book “Smart Growth: Building an Enduring Business by Managing the Risks of Growth” (Columbia Business School Publishing). To better understand the book’s implications for firms, Consulting’s One-on-One sat down with the book’s author, Ed Hess, a former Arthur Andersen strategy consultant and current professor at the University of Virginia's Darden Graduate School of Business.
- »One on One with Summit's David Litherland
When prospective employees interview for a job, they obsess over making a good, lasting impression. Firms should do the same.

- »One on One with PwC's Tom Craren
Senior executives are becoming immune to traditional marketing. Marketing consultants tell us that to pierce through the white noise of corporate communication, firms should consider “content marketing”. Instead of more traditional marketing, providing valuable insight and perspective in a blog or electronic newsletter can serve as a more effective door opener. One of the best examples is PricewaterhouseCoopers’ “10-Minute” series. For almost three years, PwC has boiled down complex thought leadership into small electronic pieces an executive can read in about ten minutes. To learn more about PwC’s marketing efforts, Consulting’s One-on-One sat down with Tom Craren, the firm’s brand strategy and thought leadership leader. His team of 20 writers produces between two to three 10-minute pieces each month, along with more detailed white papers.

»Perot Buys BearingPoint China
Dell’s pending acquisition of Perot System just got more attractive, following Perot’s recent pickup of BearingPoint’s operations in China.
BearingPoint has operated there since 2001 and has offices in Shanghai and Beijing. It serves domestic energy, automotive, insurance, and financial services clients. This acquisition will compliment Perot’s existing capabilities there. Perot recently won work serving Chinese manufacturing and healthcare clients. Dell provides hardware support maintenance services in China, but did not have a significant consulting or outsourcing presence in China.
BearingPoint China Consulting has an impressive reputation. In 2008, the China Software Association and ERP world.net ranked the firm among the "Top 10 IT Consulting Firms" in China and named its CEO among the "Top 10 People of the Year in the IT Industry". And in 2007, the China Enterprise Confederation named BearingPoint as the "Most Trusted Consulting Firm".
