description This paper examines corporate narratives about two major international consulting firms—McKinsey & Company and the Boston Consulting Group—to see how these organizations are mythologized. The authors examine the construction of their mythical reputations based on how their organizational discourse shapes the projection of excellence in consulting. Most of the discursive materials compiled were put out by the two firms themselves and are taken from their French websites. The other materials examined comprise media discourse disseminated about the firms in the French public sphere.
