Abstract
Accenture is a leading management consulting, technology services and outsourcing firm. While traditional management consulting was the main business for Accenture, areas like systems integration and outsourcing became the key growth sectors for the company. But its broad geographic and market diversification increased competition. To become the industry leader, the new Chief Executive Officer William Green developed a grand vision for Accenture, ''Corporate America''s Superstar Maker''. Apart from enabling students to understand Accenture''s grand vision, its competitive advantages, its strategies and the challenges ahead, this case also triggers a discussion as to how far Accenture would achieve its grand vision. A structured assignment ''305-124-4'' is available to accompany this case.
